Description

Upgrade your Ruger® 10/22® with a tapered bull barrel that gives long-barrel looks without the carry weight.

What makes it special

Tapered balance: Tapers from .920" to .700" at the muzzle, moving the balance point closer to the shooter so the rifle feels lighter while keeping a full-profile look.
Long-barrel performance, less mass: A 20" polished stainless barrel that’s lighter than a 16.5" bull barrel, delivering easier handling on long shots and in the field.
Match-grade build: Bored & rifled by Lothar Walther (Germany), final machined by Tony Kidd, and chambered with a proprietary reamer for smooth, reliable feeding.
Extraction reliability: Precision convex extractor slot ensures consistent extractor alignment with the case rim — a tight-tolerance feature that eliminates common extraction issues.
Proven accuracy: ½" at 50 yards (5-shot group) guarantee from KIDD-machined components and tight manufacturing control.

Fitment & avoiding barrel droop

Barrel droop is caused by an insecure or inconsistent tenon/shoulder fit. We eliminate droop with:

A precise fit between tenon and receiver, with a consistent diameter along the tenon length.
A precisely machined shoulder with a relief cut to allow the shoulder to seat flush against the receiver providing full support.

When properly fitted, v-block screws only need to be snug (~10 in-lb) — tight enough to prevent forward movement without distorting alignment.

Installation tips

If using another brand of receiver clean paint/build-up from the receiver mortise before installing.
Apply a light coat of grease to the tenon to ease installation—use sparingly.
Begin inserting the tenon while aligning the extractor slot. Tap the rear of the receiver with your palm; if resistance increases, use a rubber mallet to fully seat.
Recheck extractor alignment by matching the level of the receiver’s bottom flat with the barrel’s v-block cutout.
Run two magazines through the barrel before evaluating groups, and repeat when changing ammunition brands.
Keep the chamber clean but avoid over-cleaning the bore—excessive cleaning can reduce accuracy. Typical bore cleaning interval~ every 500 rounds, depending on ammo
