@Kfxguy has made multiple carbon fiber tension barrels and posted target pictures.

Then there are carbon fiber performance 10/22 derivatives like

Bergara BXR

 

Ha! I just finished one up tonight. This is probably the most heavy duty one I’ve done. It weighs 20oz and I used a 2mm wall sleeve and everything fits tight. I did not shorten the chamber YET. My plans were to shoot it before and after and record the difference.
@ op, if you bought that factory ruger carbon barrel, I’m interested in seeing how it shoots. I’ve heard mixed things on the super expensive volquartson barrel and I e heard nothing on the summit barrels although they do look nice.

 

Expecting ups tomorrow.

 

I wanna see some good pics of it!

 

I considered a CF barrel for my Takedown Charger but the reviews I read convinced me to go in another direction. I wasn't disappointed in what I got... love it. But I hope you love what you get too. Following this.

 

LGS has a Carbon Fiber 10/22 just waiting on the owner to price it... If in line with most shops I'll be taking it.

 

just make him an offer. Worst he could say is no. Or yes, however you wanna look at it!

 

If its a tight fit , Just be careful on how you put it in the receiver, no pounding on the barrel. Put barrel in vice , Clamps onthe breech end and pound on the back of the receiver.

 

Thanks, most times it’s the little things that get us. I worked from home today so I could be here when it arrives.

 

If I have a "problem" barrel, I put antiseize on the chamber end that slides in the receiver, hold the barrel in my hand and tap on the receiver with a rubber mallet. Really an issue, I may hit the barrel lightly with some 400 grit and heat the receiver a little bit (130 ish degrees) and try again .

 

well Here it is. Yea I know , it’s not offered in SS. Very tight fit ( I didn’t beat on the barrel). stock fit almost as tight. Haven’t picked out sights yet.

 

Reciever in the oven at 250 F and the barrel in a bucket of ice water. Soak both for an hour. That barrel will slip right into the receiver, no mallet required.

 

Didn’t touch it or the receiver with a hammer. Heat gun on the receiver did the trick. I was afraid of heat on the barrel. Newbie Carbon fiber guy. Thanks for the tips though.

 

I'm jealous. Thats beautiful! I'm gonna have to build one of those barrels. I'm going search for some carbon tube like that. I have a nice stainless barrel to build it out of. Imagine that splatter in a lime green with a line green trigger. hmmmmm......

 

Robbed Peter to pay Paul. Stole scope from another outfit. 19.6 ounces for the scope. going To use scope to determine accuracy of the rifle first. Then I’ll see.

 

Looks good, scope might be a little too big for that size gun tho. well proportion wise. And I can't find a 24mm diameter forged carbon tube. only 22mm and 25mm. bummer

 

Scope is coming off after I determine accuracy. Looking at a reflex or red dot.

 

Zeroed, functioned checked and very satisfied with accuracy. So temporary Trs-25 red dot until I find it’s permanent one. Scope back on its original . Once I zero and shoot it with red dot I’ll post pics.

Did you weigh it with the red dot?

 

Thanks. I figured it'd be light.

 

My factory model weighs 3.8 lbs. with TRS25 and a empty magazine so comparable.. that comes out to 3 lbs 13 ozs.

Haven't gotten mine out to shoot yet, I did pickup a Hawke 4x mildot scope to use maybe...gotta see if I get the accuracy I want from the red dot first. Silver receiver looks good with that barrel and stock.

Mine did very well cci sv, Tac-22 accuracy was good but feeding was single shot. Went back to cci and no failures to feed. at 50 yds with cci I was still under an 1” With the occasional flyer. Having to get used to such a light rifle.

 

First addition On the way. A summit-precision ported muzzle comp. I know, I know but I like the looks.

PORTED MUZZLE COMPENSATOR

Our Ported Muzzle Compensator was designed to provide shooters with industry leading features to fit the needs of their style of shooting. Especially when shot timer reliability is a necessity, our family of compensators will deliver. Key features include: Self timing jam nut, no shims or crush...

That should help prevent any shoulder pocket bruising.

 

One hole at 25 just like my Deluxe Sporter with stock barrel. Accuracy is everything.

 

I'm on other forums and on one of them people complain about the bruising they get from a PCC chambered in 9mm. Seriously, I can't make this up.

But about your bruising, as you rightly understood, just kidding. I can understand it for looks.

They need to do some pushups.

 

 

If that’s with using a red dot and not a scope, I’d say it’s pretty good.

 

I almost bought one but not a fan of the speckled stock so I’ll be assembling one. Going with a OD green Magpul stock and ordered a receiver Friday.

 

I didn’t think I’d like the stock either, but when it came and I seen it I changed my mind.

 

My parts gun. Haven't shot it yet still snow and wet here.
Orginal Grey Birch 12.5" CF Barrel before they moved to the US.
Ruger Receiver and Internals BX Trigger, Bushnel Red Dot . TC Magpul Stock, modified Barrel channel. 3lbs 15oz

 

Just so you know, magpul now sells those barrel channels separate for the bull barrels. Under 20 bucks.

 

@Kfxguy installed a Mueller APV. Best I could do spent my allowance on the barrel and stock. Swapped to my VQ trigger , the Kidd silver one is not resetting for me. I’ll test it in another outfit later.

 

I really like that! I always wanted to do a silver receiver and scoped rifle. Looks killer!

 

Well I bit the bullet. But, on something else. I been checking s&p and they have been out of stock. I’ve really been wanting to see what the Kidd barrel hype is about and I got an email today that they were having a sale plus a coupon code for an additional 11% off. The silver barrel, ultralite threaded was a few bucks cheaper than the black but out of stock. ETA for shipping was 22-30 days. We all know how optics planet and shipping is….so in stock was the black one and I ordered it. $252 shipped plus tax. From Kidd the same barrel is $345 shipped plus tax. I guess you can say it was hard to pass up. Maybe later I’ll get one of these barrels. I still want one.

 

finally ordered a KIDD barrel?..hey, congrats on that...guess what, I did too

I ordered a silver fluted KIDD ULW for $220 shipped...it wasn't threaded though

I've been thinking maybe it's time I build another set of Raptor twins, with KIDD ULW barrels this time around..

 

Just got my Ruger carbon fiber barrel in today and got it mounted. Also have the BX trigger group, BlackHawk Knoxx Axiom R/F stock, and a basic cheap red dot for now. Total weight is 3lbs 11.3oz (no mag). Stock barrel was 28.85oz, new Ruger CF barrel measured 16.5oz. Need to get it out to the range and see how it does. Balance feels very neutral.

(Pardon the messy work table, had some bike parts on it when I took pic)

 

I bought the Ruger carbon fiber rifle and I love it. I can shoot it offhand better than any other rifle I own. I am old and weak so less shaking and wobbling around. It's my favorite 10-22. BTW, using a bushnell red dot on it.

 

I finally got to handle a Ruger Carbon Fiber at the range Monday, and I have to say I was impressed for the price. The MOE X is just what I was missing for my LW build from last year. So, it arrived yesterday. Swapped out the barrel tray for my Volquartsen CF barrel then went to slip in the receiver/barrel/trigger group. Took a few to get it in, very tight fit as others had stated. Next was to check for free float. Perfect! Big improvement ( fit & feel ) over my modified Ruger polymer stock.

BTY, if I were to do it all over again, I would go with the black & silver combo. Beautiful!
