Ruger 10/22 lightweight and compact .920 barrel with open sights - Tactical Solutions X-Ring Open Sight Barrel

I've never been dissatisfied with anything form TacSol, and this barrel is no different. It has pretty much all the features I look for in a barrel: lightweight, compact (about 16"), .920" diameter, fluted, threaded, black finish, AND open sights. I really prefer open sights, and it was extremely difficult to find any .920" diameter barrel with open sights. There are sights out there that you can attach like a ring, band, or clamp a the muzzle, but you don't know for sure if they're aligned with the rear sight. One good solution in this regard is Nodak Spud - you just need to have the time and patience to do the alignment. Not the end of the world if you don't. I just prefer that the barrel come pre-installed with sights. This barrel is exactly that, which really sets it apart. I'm very happy with it and highly recommend it if you prefer open sights as well.
