Rain Ordnance Bro-22 1/2X28 Threaded Brl .22 Lr 18" W/ A2 Thread Protector

The Black Rain Ordnance Bro-22 threaded barrel in .22 LR is a purpose-built upgrade for shooters looking to add suppressor-ready capability to their rimfire platform. This 18-inch barrel comes with a 1/2x28 threaded muzzle—the industry standard for .22 LR suppressors and muzzle devices—and includes a protective A2 thread protector to keep threads clean in your safe or range bag. Built from 4150V nitrided steel, it's engineered for durability and corrosion resistance in the field, whether you're plinking, small-game hunting, or running suppressed .22 matches.

The Bro-22 barrel is crowned with precision and chambers Bentz-spec ammunition, so you'll get consistent feeding and accuracy out of the box. Its 1:16 twist rate with six grooves is tuned for standard and high-velocity .22 LR loads, and the specs are laser-engraved on the barrel itself for easy identification. One important note: this threaded barrel is not compatible with AR-22 pattern rifles, so confirm your platform before ordering.

If you're building or upgrading a rimfire rifle and want suppressor-ready versatility without sacrificing reliability, this threaded barrel delivers the solid construction and attention to detail Black Rain Ordnance is known for. Pair it with your choice of .22 suppressor or a quality muzzle brake and you're ready to shoot quieter and cleaner.
