I want to put a suppressor on my10/22, how difficult is it to either remove the barrel and have it threaded or swap for one already done, and is there a written set of instructions on how to remove and re-install the barrel, It is a 10/22RB Ser# 35719440 purchased from Cabellas in 2011.
I will probably do the smart thing and take it to a gunsmith,
Thank you in advance
 
I've removed a few. Some slide right off, others needed a little help. After removing the screws hold the barrel with the receiver down. Tap lightly with a plastic or rubber hammer on the receiver. Be sure to place something padded under the receiver and only hold it a few inches above the floor, table, etc.

At least this worked for me.
