RUGER 10/22 CF BBL 22LR 16.1"

The Ruger 10/22 CF Barrel in .22 LR with a 16.1" carbon fiber-sleeved barrel is a factory-genuine replacement or upgrade option for shooters who want to reduce weight without sacrificing the rigidity that keeps your rimfire accurate. The cold hammer-forged steel construction paired with a carbon fiber sleeve gives you a stiff, vibration-dampening barrel that weighs just 1.05 lbs—noticeably lighter than conventional all-steel alternatives. This is a genuine Ruger factory accessory made in the USA, engineered for the standard Ruger 10/22 platform.

With a 1:16" right-hand twist and a .920" overall diameter, this barrel delivers the ballistic characteristics Ruger designed for the 10/22. The muzzle is threaded 1/2"-28, so you can attach suppressors, compensators, or other muzzle devices to match your shooting style—and a thread cap is included for clean looks if you run it bare. At 16.1" long, you're gaining a practical, handy rifle length that doesn't sacrifice sight radius or velocity for the .22 LR round.

If you're building or refreshing a 10/22, swapping a worn barrel, or just want the weight savings and structural benefits of carbon fiber construction, this is a straightforward, quality option from the manufacturer itself. Drop-in compatibility with standard 10/22 receivers (note: not compatible with takedown models) makes installation and fit predictable.
