Beyer makes a 4.5" but it's probably out of the bargain basement price range.
Tactical Innovations makes a stainless 4.5" barrel for their Cohort for $99.99 but it's ugly as fuck. Their 5.5" barrel looks better but it won't keep bulk pack subsonic. Cheapest guy I trust to chop and thread wants $85 to do a 10/22 barrel. |

Yep, not a lot of companies make them for some reason.
I cut and threaded my factory barrel: 
Maybe contact Kidd and ask for a custom 4.5"? Might be the best route. |

Ya, why can't butler creek or ER Shaw fill this void? I'll likely snag a take-off and chop it. Maybe this project needs to simmer a while longer Just talked with ER Shaw. They won't do a custom length. They only offer a Charger barrel in 10.5" and will thread it if desired, but no can do on a short length. |

I went through the same thing and ended up sending mine to ADCO to be cut and threaded. Happy with the result but if there was an aftermarket solution I would have went that way.

Most people don't understand how to get a short barreled 10/22 running with the reduced back-thrust. |

My guess is that they don't want to deal with the hassle of customers calling and asking why they gun no longer cycles.
Most people don't understand how to get a short barreled 10/22 running with the reduced back-thrust. Seriously though, is it that big of a problem? |

Most people don't understand how to get a short barreled 10/22 running with the reduced back-thrust. It runs just fine with and without a can. I even took out the mag and cases eject from the secondary ejector just fine. No problems here. |

This isn't much help to you but about two years ago Kidd had 6" bull barrels, stainless, threaded on closeout for $99. I bought three, had one recut to 4.5" and rethreaded. Subsonic with every kind of ammo I run through it.
