I curently own a 10/22 with a Carbon Fiber(plastic?) Butler Creek barrel and compensator. When I purchased this barrel new a few years ago, the biggest thing that appealed to me was price and weight, it cost me about $130. My gun has about 4-5k rounds through it and I clean it maticulously every outing.
I feel the barrel gives me great accuracy, but the biggest complaint I have is after market magazine compatibility. I have tried Eagles, Butler Creeks, Ram Lines, Condors, Mitchells, the only ones that will feed properly are the Condor magazines. Factory ones work great also. What I mean by this is, I want to load a magazine, 25-30 rounds, and be able to empty it without clearing a jambed bullet.
My question is, does anyone feel it could be my Butler Creek CF Barrel feed ramp that could be giving me the feeding problem?
My thought is to replace my barrel with a Volquartsen CF barrel either with or without compensator.
Do people feel this could be the solution I am looking for?
Where is the best deal on Volquartsen carbon fiber barrels? Link?
Thanks in advance.
