Tactical Solutions Performance X-Ring Barrel — 16.5" | Spiral Fluted 6061-T6 Aluminum | .920" Bull Profile | Threaded 1/2x28 | Matte Black | Fits Ruger® 10/22® & TacSol X-Ring | SKU XRBRLPERFMB | UPC 879971009042
Turn your rimfire into a lightweight tack-driver. The Tactical Solutions Performance X-Ring Barrel pairs a spiral-fluted 6061-T6 aluminum exterior with a .920" bull profile and 16.5" length to deliver excellent balance, heat management, and precision—without the front-end weight. Finished in a durable matte black, threaded 1/2x28 for muzzle devices or suppressors, and compatible with Ruger 10/22® and TacSol X-Ring rifles, this barrel is a premium upgrade for plinking, steel, small-game, or precision rimfire competition.
Why Upgrade to the Performance X-Ring
Lightweight, lively handling: Aluminum outer construction sheds ounces versus full-steel bull barrels for faster transitions and less fatigue.
Spiral fluting = function + form: Flutes increase surface area for cooling and add stiffness relative to weight, while giving your build a distinctive high-end look.
.920" bull profile stability: The classic heavy contour tames harmonics for consistent accuracy with match or high-quality bulk .22 LR.
Threaded 1/2x28: Ready for popular .22LR muzzle brakes, compensators, and suppressors (where legal). A thread protector is commonly used when running bare.
Matte black finish: Low-glare coating stands up to range use and blends seamlessly with modern receivers and stocks.
Direct fit for 10/22® & X-Ring: Drop-in compatibility (gunsmith fitment always recommended for best headspacing and performance).
Built for Accuracy, Balance, and Suppressor Use
Cleaner sight picture: Reduced muzzle weight steadies the rifle off bags, bipods, or barricades.
Heat management: Aluminum shroud and spiral flutes help dissipate heat across long strings, keeping POI shifts in check.
Suppressor friendly: The 1/2x28 threads interface with most rimfire cans; verify baffle clearance and re-zero after installation.
Ideal Applications
Rimfire steel & NRL22-style matches seeking a fast, stable barrel
Small-game hunting where carry weight and quick shots matter
Bench and plinking with enhanced precision over stock tubes
Trainer builds mirroring the ergonomics of centerfire rigs
Installation & Setup Tips
Verify clear & safe. Separate barreled action from stock.
Fit the tenon: Slide the barrel into the receiver; align extractor cuts (if applicable) and torque the V-block per spec.
Headspace check: Use proper gauges if available; test function with dummy rounds before live fire.
Threaded device: When adding a brake or suppressor, ensure concentricity and use a quality crush/peel washer or shim kit if the device requires timing.
Zero & ammo test: Rimfires are ammo-sensitive—test several loads to find the best accuracy node.
