Volquartsen Lightweight Carbon Fiber Barrel Features The Volquartsen Lightweight Carbon Fiber Barrel sets a new standard for weight savings on the Ruger 10/22 platform pairing a precision stainless steel barrel with a carbon fiber tube to shed weight without sacrificing rigidity. This construction puts the barrel under tension which reduces harmonic vibration that can otherwise open up groups on thinner profile barrels. At only 1.2 pounds the barrel makes a noticeable difference in the balance and handling of a 10/22 build especially for shooters carrying the rifle afield or running it in competition. The stainless steel core still delivers the accuracy expected from a traditional bull barrel just at a fraction of the weight. Because the barrel is direct fit for the Ruger 10/22 in its non takedown configuration installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable swapping a factory barrel. The carbon fiber sleeve also helps the barrel dissipate heat more evenly which keeps point of impact more consistent across longer strings of fire at the range. Shooters building a dedicated varmint target or competition 10/22 will appreciate the reduced front end weight when shouldering the rifle repeatedly. This barrel is a proven way to upgrade an existing 10/22 into a lighter more capable rifle for sale at GrabAGun.
