Ruger 10/22 Takedown Stainless Threaded Barrel

[rovernut]

I noticed the other week that Ruger has them available again. PN 90566
Midway has them in stock for $149.
Just ordered one and found a 10% off coupon that expires today on gunsmithing items which the barrel seems to fall under. GSMITH1024

Cheers,

Well, I ordered it because I got a notification email that it was in stock. It came yesterday and I discovered that I hadn't noticed they sent me notification on the wrong one, the 16 1/2" instead of 18 1/2.
Luckily they are sending me a return label and giving me a full refund.
They don't have the 18 1/2 in stock but Ruger does, for the same price as Midway lists, and no tax or shipping.

Cheers

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

Hmmm, I'd MUCH rather have the 16.5" barrel for suppressed use.

 

[rovernut]

Why's that, if I may ask?

"Why's that, if I may ask?"
1: shorter overall length
2: longer barrel gains nothing-especially with sub-sonic ammo

 

[rovernut]

Ah ok.
I won't be using suppression or subsonic all the time, probably not even most of the time, so I don't think the standard length barrel will be an issue.

I had a gun smith thread the barrel of my 10-22 SS takedown. 95 bucks, in doing so he cut the front sight base off. I wasn't going to use the sights anyway. Suppresser would likely block it if he fitted another front sight on and its scopes for me at my age.

I looked around, hard to believe it but I couldn't find a gunsmith near who threads barrels.

Get a 10-22 threaded adapter. Works real good on stock Ruger barrels with front sight.

I ordered the barrel from Ruger day before yesterday.

Silencer Central does and at a good price, sent my 2000 AR-15 HBAR in and they did a great job.
