Volquartsen Lightweight Tension Barrel Features The Volquartsen Lightweight Tension Barrel wraps a .22 LR barrel in carbon fiber to shed weight while a laser hardened breech adds durability where the receiver meets the chamber. Its 1:16 twist rate stabilizes a wide range of .22 LR bullet weights giving consistent accuracy across typical plinking and target loads. The 16.875 inch overall length balances barrel rigidity with a manageable lightweight takedown package that does not add unnecessary bulk to the rifle. A stainless barrel end color stands out against the black finish marking the muzzle threads clearly for suppressor or muzzle device installation. The muzzle is threaded 1/2x28 TPI and ships with a thread protector giving Ruger 10/22 Takedown owners an easy path to adding a suppressor or other muzzle accessory. This complete drop-in kit includes all mounting hardware required for installation along with a Picatinny barrel-mounted rail for scope or optic use. Installation requires a compatible .920 inch bull barrel forend on the Takedown receiver keeping the swap straightforward for most owners. Turning a stock 10/22 Takedown into a lightweight accurate shooter this Volquartsen barrel is built for rimfire enthusiasts who want more performance from their takedown platform.
