Title says it all.  I have search a little on the net and Ruger's website.  I want to make a 10-22 SBR and use the FS as a thread protector when I don't have my can on it.  Thanks for any help.

Be careful,  Mini-14's and AC-556's use a non-standard 9/16"x24 thread pitch. You'll need to look for one that's been taken off a 10/22.

I should have thought of that.  I had to call Magpul last week to a nut for a BUIS.  Local hardware store did not have one that would fit, and they had a lot of nuts.

I had to recently while searching for a base for a 96/22.  Lady on the phone was very pleasant, helpful, and ended up sending me one for free.  



Googling turned up nothing for me on the flash-hider, so it might have to come from them.  Or you could just use an AR-style or similar, although those may have a thicker diameter than Ruger's?  Good luck with your search.

If you're cutting the bbl below 16" / stock length, why not thread it 1/2 - 28 and use an AR hider of your choice?

I just want the Ruger FS for a Ruger rifle.  I know, it is a little anal, but if I can obtain one with a little effort, then it will be worth it, to me.  YMMV

I ordered a stainless FS from Ruger today.  It was $22.  Possibly a little spendy, but it is what I wanted.
