10-22 17hm2?

[migrant hunter]

Probably been done to death, did'nt find anything on a search.
I was browsing on Brownells and they still have 17 mach 2 barrels for the 10-22(and the heavy bolt handle)
Does anybody have one of these? I know there was problems with them rupturing cases. Does anyone in Canada sell these barrels? Do they work?

I should have one soon. I ordered a barrel from Mystic Precision, and through no fault of Mystics, have been waiting for just shy of 15 months. I bought a heavy bolt handle for a 10/22 to .22 WMR conversion, but have been unable to get another one since. Brownells will not ship the one that they have in stock to Canada. There is a guy in the states that sells a drilled and weighted bolt but it runs about $150. I'll probably just make a custom handle for mine as I have one to use for reference. I'll let you know how it works once that barrel shows up.

Cool, look forward to a report! Hope you get all your bits.

Have a few thousand rounds through mine with no issues whatsoever. I have the heavy bolt handle (unknown mfg) and an ER Shaw barrel, and it's my go to gopher gun.
