Can I order a 10/22 barrel from rimfiresports?

I just got a barrel back from Mark, a Butler Creek light varmint and I will report back on how it shoots and how big a change there was from the rechamber-recrown very soon.

I ordered a Green mountain .920 barrel from Rimfire in December no problems..

HOWEVER prior to the order I contacted Green Mountain and they gave me the number for the exclusive Canadian distributor for Green Mountain Products. The guy lives in Saskatchewan and his prices are within 20% of U.S prices. If I can remember he wanted $135 shipped for a 20" .920 bull barrel.. I can't find his info but if you call Green Mountain they'll give it to you. When I spoke with him he said he'd have no problem selling to stores in bulk.

Anybody else know of this mystery canadian distributor? I didn't think there was one in canada. From my estimation, in canada, there's been a demand for GM barrels for at least a couple years with limited supply. I thought the problem was no canadian distributor. Maybe this guy needs to do more distributing.

In my experience, the Ruger barrels seem to have chambers of differing lengths. Some will require removing more material than others to get the same results. Material is removed from the chamber end, then the same amount removed from the shoulder. The chamber is then modified so that the bullet just starts to engage the rifling. A shim must then be fashioned as the v-groove dovetail is further away from the v-block. The man who is the driving force behind Rimfiretechnologies in the US was gracious enough to give me some of his secrets for chambering. I have one of his bbls for my 77/22 and I can attest to his success. The groups in that pic are 5 shots at 25 yds. I don't profess to know everything, but I do know what is working for me. In the Ruger 10/22, if you don't fix the sometimes horrific trigger (I know of one that won't go off with the weight of the rifle), you'll never get any accuracy no matter what you do to the barrel. Later.

Good to know.


So, do you care to say the number of the
factory barrels you did?
How many (percentage) were a success?
How many were un-improvable?
Did you find bent bores?


Are you confident enough that your method works
so you can start doing this in numbers for a profit?
(I can't wait to see this happening in Canada).
IF you'll start, are you going to work each customer's barrel
OR work on an exchange basis?

This is just an innocent suggestion,
(I'm not telling anybody what to do):
If you want to do it on an exchange basis,
I guess you have to put everything on a paper
and take a lot of things into consideration
before jumping to buy all the factory barrels floating around in the EE.

Either way, I wish you all the luck.
I am considering in the future
to buy one of these barrels re-worked by you
if you continue to do it.

All 20" bull barrels are very muzzle heavy. Fine on bench guns but not much else. The BC are hit and miss from what I can tell. My old one didn't shoot that great but after some massaging by 10mark22 it is looking like it is going to be a shooter.

I have a GM fluted 20" bull barrel. I don't find it muzzle heavy, infact I find it has a really nice balance. It's with an aftermarket stock which probably has a bit longer length of pull than the factory stock. It is very comfortable to shoot offhand.

He lives in Saskatchewan, Ive spoken with him and got a quote from him. Call Green Mountain in the USA and they will give you his information.
 
Hi Dr. Lector,
I have shot it a bit and it has gone from 1" avg. to under 1/2" with any ammo! It shoots everything I have on hand, Wildcat, AE, Remington well. It shot 2 .3" 5 shot groups with WinExpert but I ran out. I rate this a HUGE success and I think 10mark22 does awesome work. This barrel used to be real finiky about what ammo it would even feed and now it loads and shoots everything

So, elimsprint, did you have a chance to shoot that re-worked barrel?
10mark22, did you give it a thought about doing it in numbers?
