Measure base dimensions before trying to install! - TRYBE Defense Ruger 10/22 .22 LR Threaded Rifle Barrel

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.
