16.5" BLUE - 1:9 TWIST - FACTORY TAPER BARREL THREADED 1/2-28 TPI FOR 10/22® WITH THREAD PROTECTOR

BLUE 1:9 TWIST FACTORY TAPER THREADED 1/2-28 TPI REPLACEMENT 16.5" BARREL FOR 10/22® WITH THREAD PROTECTOR

If you've tried shooting Aguila 60 grain .22LR ammunition in your 10/22, you know that they will not stabilize in a factory 1:16 twist barrel. Accuracy is not what it could be and most of them keyhole into the the target sideways. But for hard knockdown power from a .22LR, the 60 grain Aguila bullet is almost impossible to beat. The solution? We have it! Our Blued Ruger 10/22 16.5" long barrel that is rifled 1:9 TWIST which is ideal for the heavier bullet. To make it even better, this drop in replacement barrel in factory taper configuration is already professionally CNC threaded 1/2x28 TPI and comes WITH the thread protector.  The barrels are perfect for any 1/2x28 threaded suppressor or accessory. 

The barrels are 4140 series US Certified steel and are polish blued finish.  The barrels do not have any iron sights installed and are designed to be used with a receiver mounted scope or similar optics.  Installation is fast and easy with no modifications to your rifle.  Simply remove the stock, unscrew the 2 cap screws that hold the barrel in, remove your factory barrel and install this new one.

If you shoot or want to try the heavier Aguila 60 grain bullet with all of its performance advantages, this is the barrel that you'll want to shoot it through. Supplies are limited on this specialty barrel. Order today!

Review This Product

By Ben Of Nevada
Perfect barrel for the .22LR regardless of ballistic grain. I shot 33gr. Remington, 36gr. Winchester, 40gr. Winchester, match CCI, and the infamous Aguila 60gr. SSS. All of them where flat as a .308 at 100yds. Don't waste your time with expensive match barrels cause this baby out performs them all! NOTE: Its a little shorter barrel than stock and gives it a more aggressive look, and when paired with TI's Fake Suppressors it makes any .22 look and perform like a high dollar match gun. The installation was easy and quick and the barrel fitment in the receiver was better than factory. I am one very happy customer.

I shoot this barrel with all types and weights of ammo from 36 grain subsonic to 60 grain SSS. all runs good and the lighter rounds do not seem to be over stabilized at all. i however have not tried any of the fast hyper velocity types.. i normally do not shoot groups or targets but more informal plinking, accuracy is more than acceptable for what i do. This barrel is installed in a CH22 and is normally fired with a QUEST can attached
By Chris Of Washington
The 16" barrel is a better looking profile than the longer stock barrels. I've shot a few different types of ammo through this including the Aquila SSS. The nice thing is that it does stabilize the bullet and I have yet to get a baffle strike. The SSS hits with authority when suppressed, so it's a very fun round to shoot. The down side is that I'm getting about 3" groups @ 50 yards benched, so I'm not overly impressed on the accuracy. I'd rate the barrel high on the fun scale (it is a .22 after all), but nothing that I'm going to be winning any matches with. If you buy one, make sure you pick up a urathene buffer as well to get rid of the bolt clank.

The crown looks like someone did it with a dremel and the shorter length causes even slower flight from the bullet this barrel specializes in. If you guys made this in a 20" barrel that would be great. Even stock length would be good. I feel that the "tacti-cool" looks don't outweigh the cons of having a shorter barrel. I finally got this out to the range with a designated marksman friend of mine. We both verified the rifle was sighted in and began our evaluation. There was roughly a 3-5 mph crosswind and the distance was 100 yards exactly. We zero'd the rifle for 100 yards with standard velocity bulk federal and shot groups resembling number four buck at 40 yards with a cyl choke. Less than impressive. Switched to the SSS and couldn't get the first few on paper. After about 3 rounds I found the correct holdover (Roughly 1' 3-4") I proceeded to shoot groups the size of my palm. Never took a ruler to it but roughly 3 3/4" at 100 yards, so none too shabby in my book. If you made these in longer lengths that would help the velocity loss and give it more of a rifle look instead of a carbine. Overall, a fairly good product.
By Markm Of Arizona
Nice addition to my old 10/22. I'm running a cheapo Red Dot sight, so I can't give a good accuracy assessment. But we were ringing a 10X12 inch gong at a hundred yards no problem. The finish is nice, the threading is great. The barrel really makes the 10/22 feel more like it has a 14.5" barrel. I wish I'd have bought one of these a long time ago. Great barrel for playing around with various muzzle devices.
By L Of South Carolina
I cleaned it before installing and there was more rust then I would like for a new barrel. No pits could be seen once clean. Accuracy: Not impressive, at 100 yards groups of 12 inches with AG SSS 60Gr. The group size improved once I took off the fake suppressor, re-crowned and work on the stock. With AG SSS 60Gr it shoots 3-4 in groups at 100 yards. Not impressive but it will have to do. It does better with CCI subsonic 40Gr but point of impact is different. It shoots the best with an AR flash suppressor as the thread protector.

Frequently Asked Questions For

16.5" BLUE - 1:9 TWIST - FACTORY TAPER BARREL THREADED 1/2-28 TPI FOR 10/22® WITH THREAD PROTECTOR

  1. Will this barrel fit any rifles other than a 10/22, such as Ruger 77/22 etc?
  2. Can I purchase this barrel in a custom / modified configuration, such as a different length or a different taper and contour etc?
  3. What accuracy can I expect from this barrel?
  4. Will this 1:9 twist barrel that is made specifically for the heavier 60g SSS bullet also shoot lighter "regular" .22LR ammo?
  1. Will this barrel fit any rifles other than a 10/22, such as Ruger 77/22 etc?
    This barrel will only fit a Ruger 10/22. It will NOT fit a Ruger 77/22.
  2. Can I purchase this barrel in a custom / modified configuration, such as a different length or a different taper and contour etc?
    The barrel is only available in standard Ruger factory configuration as noted in our description. In order to keep our prices as low as possible, barrels are manufactured in quantity and are not available in custom configurations.
  3. What accuracy can I expect from this barrel?
    Our barrels are conservatively spec'd to us by the vendor as Ruger factory accuracy or better. Although its obviously not a match olympic target barrel, it is more than sufficiently accurate for traditional plinking and informal target shooting and is backed by our 30 day return policy.
  4. Will this 1:9 twist barrel that is made specifically for the heavier 60g SSS bullet also shoot lighter "regular" .22LR ammo?
    Although a 1:9 twist barrel will shoot the lighter bullets, the 1:9 twist will not stabilize the lighter bullets as well as the standard 1:16 twist barrels. If it did, then Ruger factory barrels would be 1:9 twist rather than the factory 1:16. You can expect lighter bullets to have a greater spread and to somewhat yawl and tumble in the 1:9 barrel. This 1:9 barrel is made specifically for stabilizing and achieving maximum accuracy for the heavier 60g SSS bullet and should be used primarily for that application.

PIKE ARMS® REPLACEMENT BARREL
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR RUGER® 10/22® RECEIVERS

Thank you for your purchase of a Pike Arms replacement barrel for Ruger 10/22® rifles and compatible receivers. Our barrels are made in the USA using modern CNC equipment to produce a barrel that will provide many years of functionality and pleasure. In order to prevent possible damage to your receiver or barrel, please review these assembly instructions and tips before attempting to assemble the barrel to your receiver.

BARREL INSTALLATION:

The barrel is installed using a V-Block and cap screws identically to the factory assembly. The shank on the barrel, regardless of the manufacturer, will be larger than the hole in the receiver and will not slip into the receiver without fitting. The receiver barrel should not be “fitted” or modified during the assembly process; only the barrel shank should be fitted to the receiver. It is critical that the barrel shank have a light press fit into the receiver. If the barrel shank is loose in the receiver hole, then the barrel will droop when the V-block is tightened and it will be impossible to align a scope with the point of impact since the barrel will be slightly pointing down and will not be parallel with the bore.

To fit the barrel to the receiver, you will need to only remove a very small amount of material from the barrel shank (the part of the barrel that goes into the receiver hole). Do not use a dremel® or similar power tool to grind on the receiver hole or the barrel shank. Use sandpaper or a flat file on the barrel shank only. One method is to roll the barrel across your lap while you use the file or sandpaper in order to ensure that you are removing the same amount of material from all sides of the barrel shank to maintain its concentricity. When fitted to the proper size, and with the barrel shank lightly oiled, you should be able to press the barrel shank into the receiver hole by hand without using a mallet or similar to hammer the barrel into the receiver. It should be tight but you should still be able remove it if necessary and be able to rotate the barrel in order to align the extractor slot with the extractor on the bolt.

With the barrel now fitted into the receiver hole, place the bolt in the receiver WITHOUT the recoil spring and with the bolt retracted for clearance, rotate the barrel so that the extractor in the bolt lines up with the extractor slot in the barrel. Use caution not to pull the extractor out of the bolt when rotating the barrel for alignment. Stand the receiver on the opposite end from the barrel and press down on the barrel into the receiver. Although a traditional V-block is often adequate, an ADJUSTABLE V-BLOCK (Part #00204) is recommended so that you can set the barrel to any angle relative to the bore. Install the V-Block and the cap screws hand tight. Torque the cap screws while pushing down on the barrel and verify that the barrel is not pulling toward the V-block as you tighten the V-Block. If the barrel is correctly fitted to the receiver hole, the barrel will not droop (ie pull toward the V-block). If it does, you will have to use an adjustable V-Block to prevent the barrel from drooping as the V-Block is tightened. Prior to the V-Block being torqued, verify that the extractor in the bolt aligns perfectly with the extractor slot in the barrel. Barrel installation is complete.

BOLT CONSIDERATIONS:

The width of the bolt is critical for safe and reliable operation. Ruger® factory bolts that have been “polished” will often then be too thin from the polishing process removing metal and a slam fire condition is possible. Do not use a Ruger® factory bolt that has been “polished” or otherwise modified in any way. When assembling your rifle, ensure that the bolt that you use is wide enough to not allow the bolt to hit the rim and fire the round if the bolt is pushed all the way to either side of the receiver. The entire rim of the round should always be in the corresponding pocket of the bolt regardless of the left or right position of the bolt in the receiver.  

 

TROUBLE SHOOTING:

Chambering:

In order for the rifle to successfully chamber the new round each time, the bolt face has to be smooth and have the correct geometry. Generally, a machined bolt will have a more uniform finish and geometry than a Ruger® factory cast bolt although cast bolts will work most of the time. The recoil spring has to have sufficient force to be able to drive the weight of the bolt forward and strip a round from the magazine. The magazine feedlips have to be designed to ensure that the feed angle will correctly present the round to the chamber. Plastic magazines often will wear out and the feed angle will change. Similarly, different brands of high capacity magazines will have different feed angle geometry resulting in one brand working well and another not working at all. In addition, the actual bullet shape of different brands of ammunition in high capacity magazines will change the feed angle relative to other brands of ammunition that have a different bullet profile. For testing, always use a Ruger® 10 round rotary magazine since the rounds are individually nested and are not stacked on top of each other.

The 10/22® rifle operates based on the blowback of the bolt by the brass when fired. In order for the rifle to function correctly, the recoil of the fired brass has to be greater than the combined resistance of (1) the weight of the bolt, (2) the force of the recoil spring (3) cocking the hammer and (4) the drag of the bolt on the receiver especially when new, dirty or not oiled. Different brands of ammunition, especially bulk ammunition, will have lighter recoil than ammunition such as CCI® MiniMags®. Similarly, ammunition can have different blowback force from one round to the next due to powder variations in the ammunition. As a result, if the fired round does not blow the bolt all the way rearward each time, you will experience failures to feed as well as failures to eject.

Failure to Feed:

When the bolt does not blow back far enough, it will not get behind the next round in the mag in order to strip and push it into the barrel. When this occurs, you will see the bolt stopped and usually dug into the lead bullet of the next round in the magazine. A similar condition, although more difficult to diagnose, occurs when the bolt does not blow back far enough each time and just barely blows back to minimally get behind the next round in the magazine, at which point you will not have the full travel and force of the bolt coming forward to strip the round out of the mag and run it into the chamber. To remedy this issue, you will have to shoot hotter ammo or reduce the countering recoil force as noted above by modifying the recoil spring.

Stovepipe Failure:

A stovepipe failure or similar with fired brass ending up jammed in the receiver is usually a function of the extractor on the bolt not pulling the fired brass out of the chamber as the bolt is recoiling to the rear of the receiver. Ideally, the brass would exit the barrel and stay on the face of the bolt without an extractor but the extractor makes sure that the brass leaves the barrel and stays on the bolt while the bolt recoils until the brass hits the ejector with enough force to be thrown out of the gun. If the extractor does not grab the brass out of the chamber or does not hold the brass on the face of the bolt, you should replace the extractor. We offer a Sharp Claw Extractor (Part # 00422 that is EDM cut and not stamped) that will cut into the brass to pull it from the receiver. Most extraction issues are due to the failure of the extractor, which is an easy and inexpensive part to replace.

A stovepipe stoppage can also occur when the bolt does not blow back far enough / hard enough for the brass to strike the ejector with enough force to kick it out of the receiver, and instead it simply falls off the bolt into the receiver. To remedy this issue, you will have to either shoot hotter ammunition or reduce the recoil resistance as noted above, with the easiest option being to clip one or two coils off the recoil spring while continuing to test after clipping each coil.

Reliable function and operation requires that all parts successfully work together as intended. Many issues can be determined and resolved by substituting known non-issue Ruger® factory parts out of the assembly one at a time until the problematic part(s) are identified. Although the majority of rifle assemblies can be completed without any issues (especially when using either all Ruger® parts or all Pike Arms parts), you should seek competent professional gunsmithing assistance should you encounter a situation that exceeds your comfort or experience level. We are happy to perform a comprehensive measurement and quality check on any of our barrels but do not offer assembly or trouble shooting gunsmithing services.
