Kilroy Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Don't know if anyone will Have any insight on this, but I was considering making my 10/22 an SBR, cutting the current barrel from 16.5 to 10.5 or 11". The barrel that is on there has a 1:16 twist. By cutting off that much of the barrel so that it doesn't have a complete twist, will it affect accuracy? That being said I also have a silencerco sparrow can on the way, I don't know if that will affect accuracy either. I'm not looking for a tack driver at any distance, just to be accurate at the 25-50 yard distance. Thanks for any insight.

StooperZero Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 you should be fine . you using any form of optic? I used to buy cheapo .22 rifles and take their 20-24" barrels down to 16" to gain better velocity/accuracy. I want to say a .22lr maxes out ( input real word) about 7-9" .

Kilroy Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) I got a cheap red dot on there. I like the finned barrel because it reminds me of the M55 reising. I want to cut the Barrel off just past the end of the stock. I made the stock out of a factory Ruger stock that I got bored with. Finding a wood 10/22 folding stock is impossible. I might strip the stock down again and try and hit it with a stain to make it more dark red/brown. http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa54/RedSpecialSS/725afa98d9d1548d128b7f49f0e799e5_zps3aa3abaf.jpg Edited May 24, 2014 by Kilroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22plinker Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Kilroy,I frequent this site and Rimfire Central.They are a literal wealth of .22 info. Especially 10/22 rugers.Members of that board are as knowledgeable on .22 guns as the TSMG experts are on this board.I just had a brl cut to 11.5 but haven't had it to range yet. My research finds no accuracry issues at <75 yds.Please don't cut that brl! There is a source for that same brl style in 8-10'' lengths factory theaded.If you can get anther brl... I would like to buy yours.Contact me offline to chat further.Dave dsfunk2 @ yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Dave, can you point me in the direction of those barrels already to the length I am looking for? I've seen the 8" barrels but that is too short for me. 10.5 is really pushing the too short limit, I want to muzzle to end about 1" beyond the foreend of the stock.

22plinker Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Kilroy,Source I had was tactical innovations. they only list 8'' brl.Looks like you need to cut yours.On Rimfire Central is a sponsor who can cut brls. His business is que brl and bolt.He'll cut to whatever length you wish and rethread too. About $60 to cut and thread.For $35 he will rework bolt to make it run more reliably and smoother.I did find that tsmg/rising style brl on TI website and on sale, I'll be ordering one today, they weren't avail for a long time ,thats why I was interested in yours.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Tactical innovations is where I got this barrel from. I'll check out that que barrel and bolt to see how much it'll be to get the barrel cut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Paperwork came through. Got the barrel chopped. I like it.
