Sr22 barrel support block

[leweasel]

It seem that I should pay better attention on disassemble.....I lost the barrel support block for my Sr22.

Any ideas where I can get one for the standard .750 barrel? I know Dlask has the .920 block but that is different.

Try emailing this person ... "Carole Pitre" snapshots@videotron.ca

Last time I checked , they were the Ruger International Canadian Warranty Center ..

some people run without it if you want to try that

Mine threw the barrel out of alignment with the handguard, so I removed it. You don't need it, IMO.

I plan on threading the barrel for a comp. and an cocerned about any extra weight.

I e-mailed the canadian rep and the reply was to order a whole new front hand guard at $145.00

Seem pricey for just a support block needed.

Barrel Support BSR16700 is the serial number for the support block, but as stated you dont need it I have a 18" .920 with a 6" fake suppressor on my sr22 and no support block its fine

There are some that say "it is there for a reason", and then there are those who say "you don't need it"

Reason being, the standard 10/22 receiver has weak side strength and the is what ends up bowing out and causing the hump in the receiver. Now I can see this being a problem with the heavy .920 barrels and any attachments that cause the rifle to be front heavy. Now I for one, left mine in when I had my SR22 in the AR Nordic shell, after all ... why take the risk of being wrong and wrecking my receiver? Now that I have my SR22 in a Boyds stock, I use a pressure pad to give it some support.

YMMV ... but I for one, feel that it is there for a reason.

Got any pics of the "pressure pad"? And where can I get one. I too am from the school that states "It's there for a reason".

You can get bedding kits from Rimfiresports. But you can make your own as well. I used a thin rubber (1"x1.5"x1/8" thick) pad and doublesided tape to hold it in place.

But sorry to say, this won't work with the standard SR22 ... you need a pillar post or block of some sort to span the space between the forearm tube and the barrel.
