Light. strong. - Volquartsen Firearms 10/22 22 LR UltraLite Barrel

I wanted to wait to review this after I shot it for groups, but Volquartsen is known to be accurate so I don’t foresee that being a problem.

The thing you will first notice about this barrel is that it is LIGHT! I weighed it at just over a pound on my scale, and the bull barrel I was replacing weighed 2lb 11oz so the gun points much easier.

The barrel into the receiver was a very, very tight fit (which probably helps accuracy) and the cutout on the barrel for the extractor is large just in case you don’t line it up just right.

What I had to do was start the barrel into the receiver, and then install the receiver back into my stock and strike the barrel on the ground to get it to go in the receiver. This sounds awful I know, but I defy you to find another way that doesn’t involve striking the barrel. It’s carbon fiber so it’s tough.

At the end of the day it was in, and looks and feels great. Now I just have to shoot it. My old Shaw match barrel was very accurate but was not threaded to accept a silencer. This is the barrel to get as the added weight of a silencer will be offset by the weight savings of this.

Just buy it already!
