TACSOL Pac-Lite Ruger 22LR 6" Fluted Barrel - Olive Drab Green

The TACSOL Pac-Lite Ruger 22LR 6" fluted barrel in olive drab green is a lightweight, precision upgrade for shooters who want to transform their Mark series or 22/45 platform pistol without a gunsmith visit. Built from solid aircraft aluminum and finished in matte olive drab with fluting, this barrel drops weight while maintaining rigidity—a smart move if you're after better handling and faster target transitions on a .22 pistol that sees regular range time or informal competition.

What makes the Pac-Lite a popular choice among Ruger pistol enthusiasts is the balance of form and function. The fluted design and lightweight construction shift the balance point forward slightly, which many shooters find helps with recoil management and follow-up shot speed on a .22. It's the kind of upgrade that makes your gun feel noticeably different in the hand—faster, more pointable, less fatiguing over a long session at the bench or on the range. The olive drab anodize is durable and resists corrosion, and it pairs well with modern tactical or retro-inspired builds.

Installation is straightforward—the Pac-Lite uses standard Ruger Mark series takedown and reassembly, no specialized tools or gunsmiths required. The barrel is drilled and tapped for Pac-Lite scope bases, so if you're planning an optic, you've got a clean path forward. A thread protector (end cap) is included, which also serves as a sight when you're going iron-sight only.
