Description
This combo is built for anyone who wants their .22 to disappear into a backpack and come out shooting tight groups. Tactical Solutions took their well-earned reputation in the rimfire barrel world and matched their X-Ring Takedown barrel to Magpul's clever X-22 Backpacker stock, giving you a compact, lightweight platform that drops right onto a Ruger 10/22 Takedown or the TacSol X-Ring TD VR receiver. The barrel is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a .920 diameter target contour, hand-chambered for .22 LR, and finished with a target crown and chromoly bore for the kind of accuracy TacSol is known for.
What the X-Ring Takedown Barrel Brings to the Table
At 16.5 inches it keeps the profile trim, and the fluting sheds weight while helping the barrel run cooler through long plinking sessions. It comes standard with a fully adjustable rear sight and a fiber optic front, so you're ready to run irons out of the box, and the 1/2×28 threaded muzzle means a suppressor or compensator twists right on. The twist-and-lock connecting hardware makes install about as painless as it gets, and the barrel drops the barreled weight considerably over the factory steel tube.
Why the Magpul X-22 Backpacker Stock Rounds It Out
The Backpacker is the real trick here. Its hollow buttstock captures the barrel and forend when the rifle is taken down, locking the two halves into one tidy package that stows in a pack, a truck, or a bug-out bag. Built from reinforced polymer, it carries interchangeable standard and optic-height cheek risers, a hinged stock compartment that holds up to three spare 10-round magazines or a mag and a 50-round box, a waterproof grip compartment, a MOE SL non-slip rubber butt pad, and optional QD sling points.
Put the two together and you've got a takedown .22 that's fun to carry and even better to shoot. It's a natural fit for backcountry hunters, campers, pack rafters, and anyone building a compact truck or trail gun that stays ready to go in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this X-Ring Takedown barrel and stock combo fit my rifle?
It's designed for the Ruger 10/22 Takedown and the Tactical Solutions X-Ring TD VR semi-automatic takedown rifles. This is a takedown-specific setup, so it won't work with a standard non-takedown 10/22. The barrel drops in with twist-and-lock hardware and the Magpul stock accepts your existing takedown receiver.
Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?
Yes. The barrel comes with a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle, so a suppressor, compensator, or muzzle device twists right on. It's a popular pairing since the whole point of a takedown .22 is quiet, compact backcountry fun.
How much can the Magpul X-22 Backpacker stock hold?
The hinged buttstock compartment stores up to three spare 10-round magazines, or you can reconfigure the divider to fit one magazine and a 50-round box of ammo. There's also a separate compartment in the pistol grip for small gear like an oil bottle or basic kit. Ruger factory rotary mags fit best in the storage slots.
Will this barrel shoot any .22 LR ammo?
It's hand-chambered for .22 Long Rifle and runs standard and high-velocity loads, including hotter rounds like CCI Mini-Mags and Stingers. As with any semi-auto rimfire, it pays to try a few brands to find what your barrel likes best for reliable cycling and tight groups.
