Volquartsen Firearms Lightweight Threaded Rifle Barrel Only Ruger 10/22 Takedown
I really like this barrel but a small amount of gun smithing may be required to install this. I installed this in a Grey Birch chassis for a portable and light squirrel gun (I am using it in steel challenge as well). The issue is that Volquartsen uses pan head screws to attach the barrel lever assembly to the barrel. The screw heads are larger than the OEM screws and the plunger is a larger diameter. You may have to sand down and polish the plunger and file down the screw heads or order a takedown barrel lever assembly kit not from Volquartsen. It is easier to order the barrel lever kit but wi...

Everything Volquartsen touches is great, love the look and weight of this barrel. 22lr ammo negates most of the negatives carbon fiber barrels typically have (especially with large riffle rounds)
Pros:
Weight
Looks
Customer service
Cantelever Scope Base
Threaded Cap
Cons:
cost
Best Used for:
plinking
hiking

Excellent addition to your 10/22 takedown! The weight reduction is definitely noticeable & offsets a suppressor perfectly! Will eat any ammo I feed it but the best thing is that the scope is attached to the barrel & not the receiver. The scope stays 100% true when disassembled.
Would recommend: Yes

Not only did it cut the weight it also made it that much more accurate. I honestly wish I would of done it sooner. I also paired the barrel with volquartsen bolt and volquartsen trigger.
Pros:
Lighter
acccurate & reliable
Cons:
None especially at price point
Would recommend: Yes

I wanted to make a decked out 10/22 and I also wanted the capabilities to break down and maybe put into a bag, but it needed to be accurate. This barrel shot a 1/4 inch group at 50 yards with good sub ammo. On top of that, I screwed up the order and optics planet completely took care of me even though it was my mistake. That is the customer service I will keep coming back to and why I have been buying from OP for over a decade. Awesome product! Awesome distributor!
Pros:
light weight
Accurate
Holds zero
Volquartsen
Cons:
Price, but you get what you pay for.
Best Used for:
hunting
plinking
Making small holes make a bigger hole.
Would recommend: Yes

This is a great upgrade to my 10/22. It fits perfect and the accuracy is spot on. Having the pic rail attached to the barrel really helps ease anxiety of the possibility of losing zero on my optic. This was a no brainer for me and looking forward to hunting with it.
Pros:
Won't lose zero
Cons:
price
Would recommend: Yes
