I'm picking up a Ruger 10/22 with a sporter weight barrel. I'd like to keep the sporter contour, and not go with the .920 heavy.

Best options?

IMHO, and I dont know nothing, I would just get the threaded barrel and avoid the hassle of having to get it done. Assuming you can find the bbl you want with the option of threaded and the math works out on the dollar.

Get yourself a Feddersen in your chosen profile. You won't regret it. It's more money than having the factory barrel threaded, but you are getting a superior barrel in every facet. If weight is why you want to keep the Sporter barrel, look at the Kidd ultralight barrels.

@Laufen Are you wanting to keep the iron sites? If so I would just go ahead with a whole new barrel. Even if you’re not keeping the iron sites I think it would look goofy with the dovetail where are you removed the rear site. I think either way my vote Would be to get a new barrel. It might be a little more expensive, but I think you’ll be happier.

FYI- this place has lots of cheap 10/22 parts. The few things I've bought from them have worked out well (charging handle, mag release, etc). I don't know about the Tactical Innnovation barrels though.

www.tacticalinnovations.com

I do have this- mostly because I needed a dang threaded 10/22 barrel post Sandy Hook when there was nothing available.

Dang barrel cost as much as the stock 10/22.

My dad has one of the tactical innovations milled receiver’s. He’s been really happy with it.

im gonna screw everything up and go with option C. just get a whole new gun. The cheapest option by far would be sell the 10/22 you have and then use the money to buy a pre threaded sporter one, can probably do it for almost no money on top as I've bought factory threaded tapered 10/22 for less than 250 new

$200 even, free shipping, just tack on the sales tax and receiving FFL fee. And you get a Hogue stock to boot.

I just bought this one! She's a 1981, all metal parts and has the A-Team style Butler Creek wire side folder woop! Bought it from a nice guy named Howard on the ODT. Told him to come check out this site...where's my handjob @dougiemac ?

Ha! I wouldn't even drift the rear sight out. I'm all about function anymore. It's not going to be the prize pig at the fair.

I did not even notice that- I'd much rather have it threaded directly in 1/2x28... adapters scare me when it comes to expensive muzzle accessories.

Me too. That's exactly why I passed on it. Good deal otherwise.
