Tactical Solutions X-Ring 16.50" Fluted & Threaded Bull Barrel, Quicksand Finish, Aluminum for Ruger 10/22 - .22 LR

The Tactical Solutions X-Ring 16.50" fluted and threaded bull barrel brings serious accuracy and customization to your Ruger 10/22 without the weight penalty. Built from 6061-T6 aluminum with a chromoly steel rifle liner, this barrel combines a precision 11-degree crown with fluting for a lightweight profile that doesn't sacrifice rigidity. At just 15 ounces, the X-Ring lets you build a nimble, accurate .22 rifle that's comfortable to shoot all day—whether you're plinking, hunting small game, or running drills at the range.

Threading (1/2x28) opens the door to suppressor or compensator options, and the Quicksand finish gives your build a clean, modern look. The X-Ring is purpose-built to fit all Ruger 10/22 receivers and most aftermarket 10/22-pattern platforms, so swap-out compatibility is straightforward. The 1:16 twist rate delivers reliable accuracy across standard .22 LR ammunition, and the fluted design helps manage heat during extended shooting sessions.

If you're upgrading a 10/22 for accuracy or building a dedicated rifle from a stripped receiver, the X-Ring barrel is engineered to tighten your groups and bring out the potential of one of America's most modular rimfire platforms. Tactical Solutions' attention to machining and crown geometry shows downrange.
