Not only would you need the new target barrel but possibly a new stock since the barrel channel will have to be wider and I'm not sure the factory plastic stock can be modified enough.
Anyone wanting an aftermarket barrel for their RAR hold on for just a little bit I will have some information on just such a thing mid next week. kid...
Ok everyone I promised information on aftermarket barrels for the RAR so go check out the topic: Introducing Ruger RAK in this section. They are not self changeable per say but there is an option. I hope this helps the ones looking to re-barrel their RAR. kid...
I just had mine rebarreled with a Lothar Walther blank at my lgs. The blank was $200 plus $300 to have it machined.
I think the problem is that the barrels are pressed and pinned so it's not as easy as say 10/22 or cz 455 with barrel lug design where the average consumer can make the swap. I wish Ruger would have threaded the receiver n barrel. You can get an aftermarket stock and timney triger, it's a shame Ruger designed it where you can't just buy an aftermarket barrel. Imoa if Ruger had disigned for an easy barrel swap the American would have been just as epic as the 10/22
just got done putting a new barrel on mine my smith squared up my action and threaded it turned a barrel and put it all together no time for some ammo testing
I see where Shaw offers Ruger Rimfire Precision barrels. I cannot find replacement barrels for RAR rifles. Shaw Barrels
