Reviews & Ratings for TRYBE Defense Ruger 10/22 .22 LR Threaded Rifle Barrel — 11 reviews — Page 1

As other reviews stated, this barrel was a very tight fit. I was not able use heat and cold alone to get it in. I had to sand the finish to the barrel and do some light polishing to the receiver to make it work. It is also noteworthy that the oem Ruger barrel was difficult to remove. Know that it is not a simple plug and play! However, it does seem to function well.

Easy install smooth process good product. Was simple to install.

As others had stated, the shank that rests in the receiver was big. Original target/bull barrel measured about .009 smaller and I believe that’s accurate. I froze the barrel and still had to pound into receiver. Marred the finish of the barrel when I had to twist it slightly to align the barrel wedge block cut out. After cleaning, 100 rounds, and another cleaning, it has functioned flawlessly. As others have also stated, best accuracy is about .75-1.0”” at 50 yards from a bench sled, not terrible, but not good either. Hopefully that improves with more break-in. Overall, it was cheap, lightweight, and shorter than factory barrel, but still not really worth the hassle to install and accuracy should be much tighter from a bench sled at 50 yards.

Casings get stuck and nothing extracts. Gunsmith said extractor slot was milled too far from the bore, likely QC issue. Contacted Trybe, no reply or confirmation they even got my emails. Now I get to pay to have it re-milled. Awesome.

Received and installed this barrel yesterday. Install was straight forward, barrel fits tight and may need some massaging to go in. Got the barrel in the receiver with a little effort, then worked it in with a rubber mallet. When the mallet stopped working, it was close enough to install the V block and pull it in the rest of the way. Used my laser boresight device after install and the red dot was only off a little from where it was. Can't wait to get it on the range and put rounds through it.

So for so good. It was a bit of a tight fit to install, had to get to the point the barrel clamp would reach and then use it to finish install. Accuracy seems good with 40 gr bullets seems to like the high velo stuff. Shot like 40 rounds and it didn't even warm the barrel. I'd recommend it.

Fits tight and chambers to the bolt. Love the suppressor threads

I tried 2 of these. The finish is fine, but the 'butt' of the barrel that inserts into the receiver is too large in diameter. The OEM is 17.45mm and this item is 17.60mm. I tried to reach the company but their website says 'contact the seller' - couldn't find any support email or phone number. I did buy the other model of this that says 'heavy', this one is pencil, and the heavy fit my Ruger 10/22 Target well. I was shooting MOA groups at 100 yrds with it. I cannot recommend this barrel due to poor QA I assume.

Product description uses both the words bull barrel and pencil barrel, this is deceiving. It is not a true bull barrel but a standard pencil barrel. I got a different one for my 10/22 target that uses the words bull and heavy and is a bull barrel and fit correctly. I retuned this for replacement and waiting to see if the new one fits, that it was just poor QC on the first one. Receiver end was 46.74mm while the OEM barrel is 45.54mm. I will update this positively if the new one fits. So far OP service is good, just put me behind 2 more weeks.

Diameter of base that inserts into my receiver was tight. Too tight. Maybe 1/1000"-2/1000" over specs. I appreciate snug, but this was too tight. I feared I would damage the muzzle or crack the receiver, but I was too stubborn/committed and kept on (too late to undo). It stopped with a 1/32" gap between receiver and base of bull barrel. This barrel can never come out. Thankfully, the thread protector at the muzzle is very robust. I feared I had damaged the muzzle/crown or receiver, but I committed to testing for accuracy/functionality first. Now the good news. It shot 3/4" groups at 50 yards, it looks good, finish is really good. I like the black nitride finish on stainless steel, which complements my stainless steel-look receiver. Feeding was flawless. No ejection problems. Be sure to check dimensions of your receiver and the barrel with a micrometer before you stubbornly try to install your barrel. Would've been rated 5 except for base dimensions.
