The rifle is a SS takedown with the black Kryptek Typhon camo.  Here is the BEFORE shot:



I wanted a threaded barrel I so I could use one of my .22 suppressors on it.  Found a good deal (I think) on a Ruger factory blued 16.5" threaded barrel ($130 delivered from Brownell's).  I also found a good deal on a barely used AGP folding stock, so I bought that, too.

Here's what she looks like with her new clothes (I don't mind the blue and silver combo at all):



And making use of that threaded barrel (Gemtech GM-22...very light and compact):



Folded and with the barrel off:



And one nice thing is that the original barrel in the original foreend will still attach and lock up to the rifle:



In this last picture you can see the 2" difference in the barrel lengths.

Looking forward to shooting the rifle.  Not sold on the folder, really, but bought it just to give it a try.  It is really solidly made.  Won't fit into the Ruger backpack, though, with the scope mounted where the original stock does.

I may go back to the original stock.  If so, I'll see if I can find an original Kryptek Typhon foreend and keep both barrels ready to go!

Thoughts and comments are welcome!

Looks good!

Shot it last night with the new barrel and both of my .22 suppressors!  Worked great without a single malfunction and no issues with the can.  Shoots great with either one install, or just bare barrel.

Nice setup.  That barrel frankly looks nicer than a factory barrel. The shorter length of threading compared regular factory Ruger barrels is an improvement also.

The blued threaded barrel IS a Ruger factory barrel.  Came in a Ruger box and everything!  Seems to shoot well, too.

Looks good! The new barrel makes a big difference.

Nice job OP. I too have that same stock in black with my TD that I sbr'd with a 10" charger barrel. Ton of fun to shoot and very quiet suppressed. Have fun with it!

Liked the Kryptek better.  I would have put a threaded carbon fiber on there and called it a day.

For anyone looking, that bbl is available on the big auction site for $90 +$12.50 shipping.
