10/22 Match Grade Barrel

[Engineer]

Hi,


I'm on the hunt for a 10/22 match grade barrel, something like a Shilen, any one know who may have one in stock?

Thanks.

He was my first stop, actually, but unfortunately he's out of stock and there is a huge lead time.

Milarms has volquartsen
Fab arms has Kidd and I think one other gun store.

got out an email into fab to see if they have any more unflutted you never know. How would they compare to say the shilen I wonder? mystic is out of stock on them and while I can get it from Brownells it's a nuisance doing all the export paperwork and then waiting for approval.

Dlask 18.5" with the Extreme chambering in Bull is a nice canadian made option as well.
wont run ya as high as some of the others but probably isnt as nice either.
i have one and love it.

I dont know about Shilen but a 1/2" group at 50 with my rifle using federal bulk is a breeze...i have the paper to prove it. i have the works poured into this rifle and i can say that the barrel is doing it's part, i have the 18.5 flutted...shilen vs kidd? the question has been asked before:

If i didnt see the need to use stingers/velocitors or CCI segmneted HV's i would swap out the barrel on my other rifle for a KIDD, but...those rounds just dont fit in the chamber, and it would be a waste of a barrel anyways

Deleted - wrong forum.

Thanks ALMAR, I think that was the final push I needed. I think I'll order the kidd tonight, rather than waiting for months for the shilen.

 

[Engineer]

Couldn't wait, just ordered a kidd and cancelled my Brownells order

Thanks for everyone input.

If you haven't replaced the hammer now would be a good time. I just stoned mine and am happy with the results, a much lighter trigger.

 

[Engineer]

I might try that on the other 10/22 build but for this one I'm using a kidd 2 stage trigger.

Let us know what you think of the barrel when you unbox it and when you test it...i was impressed personally...nice piece of work that thing.

Barrel arrived in the mail today, and I must say my first impression is - awsome. Great machine work and detail on the muzzle wow. I hope it shoots as good as it looks. Hopefully I can get it built before Sunday and a trip to the range.
