OK, I know this has been asked and answered many times.....I want to have a 10-22 barrel cut to 16" and threaded. What's the going rate in the Willamette Valley for the service, and what thread size? Someday I may buy a can, or mount a sporty flash hider, or just a thread protector.
Where do I go? What will it cost? |
| Koonce Custom Gunworks or Tornado Technologies. Those are my 2 preferred smiths. For pitch, 1/2-28 is where its at. Anything else would be uncivilized. Also, one thing to consider (that Todd @ KCGW showed me, that I didn't know) is that the threads are pretty much made for the can. And the threaded portion of the barrel needed for an A2 flash hider are about 1/8" longer than those needed for you average 22lr can. This is to accommodate the cruch/peel washer that is used to time the FH. Food for though. But you can get away with shorter threads and a regular flash hider as long as the FH is timed by a smith (this would not apply to an A1 style FH), or at least a dude with a lathe. I have timed a couple for my guns. Not too hard, but you could just have the smith do it for you when the thread the bbl. |

Tornado Technologies FTW!
From the sheet Mark just linked: Ruger® 10/22® bull barrel (threaded 1/2-28) $65 Ruger® 10/22® 18.5" standard barrel (Front sight is removed and barrel shortened slightly, threaded 1/2-28) $75 I've got a couple barrels at Tornado Tech right now, one is a bull-barreled 10/22, the quote he gave me was $65. cheers, Benji |
