The Tactical Solutions X-Ring 16.5" fluted and threaded aluminum barrel transforms your Ruger 10/22 Takedown into a more accurate, customizable .22 rifle without sacrificing the modular convenience that makes the Takedown special. Built with a steel bore liner and finished in Quicksand, this drop-in replacement barrel is engineered to work seamlessly with Magpul and Hogue takedown stocks that accommodate .920" O.D. bull barrels—no gunsmithing or stock modification needed. The barrel comes fully assembled with the same locking mechanism as the factory original, so swapping it in is as straightforward as the gun's design intended.
Whether you're a precision .22 shooter looking to tighten groups at the range or a small-game hunter who values portability, this barrel delivers the accuracy you expect from Tactical Solutions without compromising the takedown rifle's pack-ability. At just 16 ounces, it keeps weight low while the fluted profile adds visual appeal and aids heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions. The 1/2" x 28 tpi muzzle threads open doors to suppressors, flash hiders, and compensators—the barrel ships with a thread protector that maintains a clean, integrated appearance when you're running the gun unsuppressed.
Sights are integral to this barrel: a fiber optic front sight catches light reliably downrange, while the fully adjustable rear sight lets you dial in your zero without fuss. The 1-16" rifling twist stabilizes standard and subsonic .22 LR ammunition for consistent ballistics. If you've been waiting for a reason to upgrade your takedown 10/22, this is it—better accuracy, real modularity, and the rugged aesthetics Tactical Solutions is known for.
