Description
The True Precision TP/22 True Profile barrel is one of the cleaner ways to wake up a tired factory Ruger 10/22. It's machined from Shaw Barrels custom rifled 416R stainless blanks, wears a durable black DLC coating, and runs a .22 LR Bentz match chamber with a 1:16 twist. That combination is what separates a match barrel from a stock one: the Bentz chamber sits between a loose sporting chamber and a tight bolt-action match chamber, giving you real accuracy gains while keeping a semi-auto cycling the way it should.
What the True Profile Cut Brings to the Table
Instead of a heavy straight bull profile, the TP/22 uses a short taper that steps down quickly and then runs a long, straight section out to the muzzle. Parallel fluting trims weight and helps shed heat during longer strings, so you get the stiffness of a heavier barrel without carrying all the extra ounces. It's a good middle ground for a build you want to shoot off the bench but still enjoy hauling around.
Threads, Fit, and Chambering on the TP/22
Up front the muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, the standard pitch for rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices, so it's ready for a can or a thread protector right out of the box. The barrel fits both True Precision TP/22 and Ruger 10/22 receivers with standard tapered barrel channels, though it is not made for the Takedown variants. Because it uses a Bentz chamber, it likes to eat quality match or standard-velocity ammo. Hyper-velocity rounds with longer cases, like CCI Stinger, are best left out of this one.
Getting the TP/22 Barrel on Your Rifle
Swapping a 10/22 barrel is one of the friendliest gunsmithing jobs around. Lock the bolt open to protect the extractor, pull the two V-block screws with a 5/32 hex wrench, slide the old barrel out, and slide the new one in. A dab of grease on the shank and you're back in business, no lathe required. Pair it with decent ammo and a clean trigger and this barrel will show you what the 10/22 platform is really capable of.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the TP/22 barrel fit my Ruger 10/22?
Yes, it drops into standard Ruger 10/22 receivers as well as True Precision TP/22 receivers with standard tapered barrel channels. The one exception is the Takedown models, which this barrel is not designed for. If you have a standard 10/22, you're good to go.
Do I need a gunsmith to install this barrel?
Not at all. A 10/22 barrel swap is one of the easiest jobs you can do at home with basic tools. Lock the bolt open to protect the extractor, remove the two V-block screws with a 5/32 hex wrench, pull the old barrel, and slide the new one in. A light coat of grease on the shank makes it go smoothly.
What ammo works best with the Bentz match chamber?
The Bentz chamber is tighter than a factory sporting chamber, so it rewards you with better accuracy when fed quality match or standard-velocity ammo. Skip hyper-velocity loads with longer cases like CCI Stinger, since those don't play well with a Bentz chamber. Good standard-velocity fodder is where this barrel really shines.
Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?
It is. The muzzle comes threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard pitch for rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices. That means you can run a can, a thread protector, or a compensator without any extra machining.
