TACSOL PAC-LITE Ruger 22LR 6" Threaded Fluted Barrel

The TACSOL PAC-LITE 6" threaded fluted barrel transforms your Ruger Mark series or 22/45 pistol into a tack-driving .22 LR platform without breaking the bank or requiring a gunsmith. Built from aircraft aluminum, this lightweight barrel upgrade delivers the balance and pointability that separates casual plinking from serious rimfire accuracy. Whether you're dialing in groups at 25 yards or running a .22 pistol match, the PAC-LITE gives you the feel of a factory-tuned pistol with room to grow into a fully customized setup.

The fluted profile keeps weight to just 7.4 ounces—a meaningful difference when you're shooting a pistol for an extended range session. The 1-16 twist is optimized for standard .22 LR ammunition, and the 1/2x28 threads let you add a suppressor, muzzle brake, or compensator if your local laws and range rules allow. Installation is straightforward on existing Ruger Mark frames; no specialized tools or smith work needed, so you can swap it on a lazy afternoon and hit the range.

Gun metal gray fluted finish isn't just aesthetics—the flutes add rigidity to the aluminum tube while shedding weight and improving heat dissipation. If you're building a modular .22 trainer, a quiet backyard plinker, or a competition pistol, the PAC-LITE is a proven starting point that leaves room for optics, grips, sights, and trigger upgrades down the road.
