Volquartsen Takedown Barrel Kit Features The Volquartsen Takedown Barrel uses a carbon fiber wrapped tension barrel design to cut weight compared to a traditional steel barrel while retaining the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy. The breech is laser hardened adding durability at the point of the barrel that experiences the most repeated stress from firing. Threaded 1/2x28 the barrel accepts standard .22 caliber muzzle devices without additional machining. Requiring a .920 inch bull barrel compatible forend the barrel is built specifically to integrate with this kit s own stock and rail system. The kit includes a stock forend CNC machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum giving builders a rigid precisely fitted platform for the new barrel. Two Picatinny mounting rails are included along with all hardware required for a complete installation so the whole upgrade can be finished with parts already in the box. The kit is designed to retain the factory buttstock keeping the original rifle s handling characteristics while only changing the barrel and forend assembly.
