Don’t know if GM is gonna make any more , but these guys Rimfire Sports & Custom
still have a few gm barrels in stock, but no 28 s

 

I was hoping for a 28. I'll check them out. Thx.

 

They have a 24 inch fluted sporter, and a 24 inch running boar. The running boar is excellent.

 

I currently have a running boar and love it. I need another 10/22 like a hole in the head. The 24 inch stainless tapered barrel might be fun though.

 

Shaw makes Green Mountain Barrels, just buy direct from Shaw Barrels.

 

I did not know that. Interesting.

Thank you for the info.

 

Here you go. longest gm I know of. Now from my understanding gm wont honor warranty if not bought directly from them. I have 3 I have bought from here and never need the warranty.

Currahee, I have been eyeballing that very one!

The warranty was the only reason I hadn't pulled the trigger yet. I guess I'm not so worried about the warranty. I have never had a bad aftermarket barrel.

You have to like the length of that barrel. I could poke the critter before shooting him. Actually, I just want to try a really long barrel just for fun. The length cuts down on the volume. I would like to try a suppressor, but am unwilling to pay the tax stamp at this time.

Thank you!

 

I've been wondering the same thing, if GM has dropped making 10/22 barrels.
I have a 20" SS GM Sporter tapered barrel that is great, really like it on my SS Sporter setup.

Been waiting for the Blued version to come available and no joy for a quite while now. Only saw one on ebay and didn't want to buy that way.

Midway has Shaw 18" blued Sporter barrels on sale, so bought one. So...., the GMs should be available again?
My SS Sporter is in a black hogue stock and love the look. That said, I fancy having a wood stock blued Sporter and will add this barrel and a wood stock to a synthetic carbine I already have.

 

I happened to look at Green Mountain's site earlier today - I pop in occasionally to see if the semi-mythical 28-inch stainless bull barrel is in stock.

The good news is there is a 10% sale on everything through the end of April; the bad news is there are only a very few 10/22 barrels in stock. If you happen to be looking for any of those in-stock items, though, enjoy the discount!

For what it is worth, I also noticed an announcement on the site that read, "We do not have an in-stock date for any of our
out-of-stock parts at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your patience." Not sure if that bodes well or ill for future production.

 

Unfortunate if they are getting away from doing these 10/22 barrels, I think their barrels are more traditional (which I like) but that might not match demands with all the newer stuff out there.
Will experience what a Shaw barrel can do here eventually. Like GM, I read some good, some bad on Shaw as well. Glad I got my GM 20" SS Sporter barrel when I did. I also have a GM 18" blued bull that was used for a bit and removed to try a summit CF barrel, was thinking about parting with it, but maybe not now! I guess I'm part of the problem, I wanted a CF barrel too!

 

I ran across an interview back in March with the owner of Green Mountain, and one of his comments was that 90% of their business was to industry customers. Not surprised their retail side may have some availability issues if their focus is on contract sales. I guess we hope the barrels we're looking for get back into the production schedule.

Thank you for the article!

 

I'm not sure what this will mean in terms of Green Mountains own barrel sales. Guessing availability won't get better. Can't blame T/C for wanting them, really.

This could be good news.

 

I suppose there are many agreements among barrel makers, but I can attest that Green Mountain most assuredly makes barrels up in northern New Hampshire. Coincidentally, though not a 10/22 barrel, I just bought a .17 tapered octagon barrel blank from GM just last week. I have had uniformly great results with the GM barrels I have owned, though they were all blanks; no drop-in barrels. They are properly stress relieved, button-rifled barrels that machine crisply and predicably. Interestingly, the Lothar Walther barrel blanks I've machined, like the ones Kidd, VQ, and Clark use, are quite hard to machine...nice barrels but a pain to machine. I don't think being harder is necessarily better on rifle barrels.

 

Let me show my total ignorance: What in the world would be any advantage of a 28 inch .22 LR barrel??

 

1. I've been fascinated by long 10/22 barrels since Urban Rifle Supply used to sell 29 inch barrels.
2. Very quiet without needing a suppressor.
3. Uniqueness - when did you last see a 28 inch 10/22 barrel?
4. The heart wants what it wants. 🧡

Qualitative reasons, to be sure, but ones that are meaningful to me.

 

!That is all I could figure! Thanks.

 

I think TC just bought them.

 

Update from T/C on why they bought Green Mountain. My interpretation on what that means for Green Mountain in-house barrel sales is that the more successful T/C is, the less likely they'll be selling 10-22 barrels retail. As more of their production shifts to their owners barrel needs, less production capacity for everything else they do.

 

The good news is they showed a 10/22 barrel on the rack and he said they are going to continue to support the Ruger community.

 

I wonder if the TCR 10/22 will make a comeback? Those are highly respected. This could end up being interesting news as far as 10/22 barrels go.

 

I hope so…I would love to see a T/C made LVT, with a 19” SS GM HT barrel on it from the factory

 

Plentiful selection of Green Mountain barrels here.
I might have to buy one just in case T/C mixes things up somehow.

Interesting that of the 30 GM barrels listed on that site, 17 are out of stock. Probably not a bad idea to get one of the 13 models in stock if it is something you are looking for.
