Tactical Solutions X-Ring 16.50" Fluted & Threaded Bull Barrel, Quicksand Finish, Aluminum for Ruger 10/22 - .22 LR
Tactical Solutions
The Tactical Solutions X-Ring 16.50" OD Green Matte Bull Barrel is a drop-in accuracy upgrade for Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifles that keeps the rifle's takedown convenience intact. Built with an aluminum exterior and steel bore liner, this barrel pairs precision rifling with smart engineering: it weighs just 16 oz., threads directly into compatible Magpul and Hogue takedown stocks without stock modification, and uses the same locking mechanism as the factory barrel for quick, tool-free swaps. The OD Green Matte finish pairs rugged aesthetics with practical durability.
What sets the X-Ring apart is the complete package out of the box. You get a fiber optic front sight and fully adjustable rear sight for reliable aiming from the bench or the field, plus a thread protector that maintains a clean, finished look when the muzzle isn't suppressed or compensated. The 1/2" x 28 tpi threading opens the door to Tactical Solutions' X-Ring 10/22 Compensator or a wide range of aftermarket suppressors and flash hiders—giving you genuine versatility without hunting for adapters.
Built around 1-16" rifling, this barrel delivers the accuracy improvement that separates a stock 10/22 from a genuinely capable .22 LR plinker or small-game rifle. Whether you're fine-tuning your technique on the range, training new shooters, or reaching out to distant reactive targets, the combination of the bull profile, rifling geometry, and factory-matched takedown lockup gives you a real boost in consistency. The aluminum construction keeps overall weight manageable, making the rifle remain comfortable for extended shooting sessions.
