Description
The Ruger 10/22 is one of the most upgradeable rifles ever built, and swapping the factory barrel is the single biggest jump in accuracy you can make. This True Precision TP/22 bull barrel is machined from Shaw Barrels custom rifled 416R stainless blanks, cut with a 1:16 twist, and finished in a deep Black DLC coating that looks as good as it shoots. It drops right onto the 10/22 platform using the factory V-block, so you're not sending anything off to a gunsmith.
What Sets the TP/22 Bull Barrel Apart
The heart of this barrel is the .22 LR Bentz match chamber. It runs tighter than a factory sporting chamber, which means cleaner, more consistent engagement with your ammo and noticeably better groups downrange. The Bentz spec is widely considered the sweet spot for semi-auto .22s because it balances match-grade accuracy with reliable feeding. Pair it with quality standard or high-velocity .22 LR and you'll see what this thing can do.
Fluting, Comp, and the Black DLC Finish
True Precision runs precision fluting down the bull profile to trim weight while keeping the barrel stiff and stable through longer strings of fire. Up front you get an internally threaded integrated forward multi-port compensator that helps flatten muzzle rise. That internal threading is the clever part, since it accepts adapter plugs and future True Hybrid Adapter Inserts so you can run 1/2×28 muzzle devices or bypass the ports when you want. The Black DLC coating is hard, corrosion-resistant, and holds up to real range and field use.
Dialing In Your 10/22 Build
Installation is about as simple as it gets. Pull the action from the stock, back out the two V-block screws, swap barrels, and torque it back down. If you're running a factory wood stock, keep in mind the bull profile needs a stock with a .920 barrel channel to clear properly. This is an American-made upgrade built for target work, small game, and anyone who wants their 10/22 to punch above its weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the TP/22 bull barrel drop right into a Ruger 10/22?
Yes. It uses the factory V-block mounting system, so installation is a matter of pulling the action from the stock, removing two screws and the barrel block, swapping barrels, and torquing it back down. No gunsmithing required. Just make sure your stock has a .920 barrel channel to clear the bull profile.
What kind of ammo works best with the Bentz match chamber?
The Bentz chamber is tighter than a factory sporting chamber, which is what gives you the accuracy edge. It runs well with quality standard-velocity and high-velocity .22 LR match ammo, and that's where you'll see the tightest groups. It's generally not the best home for hyper-velocity rounds.
Can I put a muzzle device or suppressor on this barrel?
The integrated forward compensator is internally threaded to accept adapter plugs and True Precision's Hybrid Adapter Inserts. That setup lets you mount standard 1/2×28 muzzle devices or bypass the barrel ports when you want. It gives you flexibility to tune the muzzle to your build.
Why choose the Black DLC finish over stainless?
The Black DLC coating is a hard, corrosion-resistant finish that gives the barrel a deep, low-glare black look while adding durability. It holds up well to range sessions and time in the field. If you want a sleek, blacked-out build, this is the finish to grab.
