Description
The Ruger 10/22 is one of the most upgraded rifles on the planet, and swapping the factory barrel is where most builds really start to come alive. True Precision's TP/22 bull barrel takes that idea and runs with it, giving you a 16-inch fluted stainless tube that fits the standard 10/22 receiver and instantly changes how the rifle looks, feels, and shoots.
What Sets the TP/22 Bull Barrel Apart
This one is machined from SHAW Match custom rifled blanks in certified 416R stainless steel, the same grade of gun steel used on serious precision rifles. The heart of it is a .22LR Bentz match chamber paired with 1:16 twist rifling. If you're not familiar with Bentz, think of it as the middle ground between a loose factory chamber and a tight bolt-gun match chamber. It's cut specifically for semi-autos, so it feeds and cycles reliably with standard ammo while still tightening up groups compared to a stock barrel. That flexibility is exactly why it's such a popular choice for 10/22 builds.
Compensator and Fluting on the TP/22 Barrel
Up front you get an integrated forward multi-port compensator that's internally threaded rather than the usual external 1/2×28. That internal threading lets you install adapter plugs to run threaded attachments or bypass the ports altogether, so you can tune the muzzle to how you want to shoot. The comp helps keep the muzzle flat and settle the rifle between shots, which matters when you're running fast strings or shooting off a bag. The precision fluting isn't just for looks either. It trims weight off the bull profile while keeping the barrel rigid, and it gives the surface more area to shed heat during longer range sessions.
Fit and Feel of the TP/22 Stainless Build
This is a heavy bull-profile barrel, so plan on a stock with a wide barrel channel to clear the .920 contour. Installation follows the standard 10/22 V-block routine with a 5/32 hex wrench, and it's a job most folks can knock out at the bench in a few minutes. Between the stainless finish, the fluting, and that integrated comp, it looks every bit as good as it shoots.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the TP/22 barrel fit my Ruger 10/22?
Yes, this barrel is built to fit the standard Ruger 10/22 receiver and the many 10/22-pattern rifles on the market. It is not intended for the 10/22 Takedown models. Because it's a bull profile at .920, you'll want a stock with a wide barrel channel to clear it.
How does the compensator work on the TP/22 barrel?
The compensator is integrated into the front of the barrel and uses internal threading rather than external 1/2×28. That design lets you install adapter plugs to add threaded attachments or bypass the ports entirely. The multiple ports help keep the muzzle flat and settle the rifle between shots.
What is a Bentz chamber and why does it matter?
The Bentz is a match-style chamber cut specifically for semi-autos. It sits between a loose factory chamber and a tight minimum-spec match chamber, so it reliably feeds a wide range of .22 LR ammo while still tightening groups over a stock barrel. In practice that means you get better accuracy without babying your ammo selection.
Is installing the TP/22 barrel something I can do myself?
For most people, yes. The 10/22 uses a simple V-block that's held by two screws you can remove with a 5/32 hex wrench. Lock the bolt open so you don't stress the extractor, twist the old barrel out, slide the new one in, and torque the V-block screws back down. It's one of the easier barrel swaps out there.
