EABCO Subsonic Ruger 10/22 Barrel

Subsonic 10/22 22LR Accuracy Barrel® Blue (.920)

  Our EABCO Threaded 10/22 Accuracy Barrels® have threaded 1/2x28 muzzles to fit Muzzle Brakes and Suppressors. Custom thread protectors are included, order muzzle brakes separately. This "Fast Twist Subsonic" barrel features a 1:9 rifling twist to stabilize slower, subsonic .22 ammo such as: Aguila 60gr SSS Super Sniper, and standard velocity "Target" ammo that generally shoots under 1050 fps. Subsonics are preferred by accuracy lovers because they don't lose any stability as the bullet slows down (High velocity ammo flutters as it passes through the sound barrier).

  Long Range Considerations... The popularity of PRS22 and NRL22 competitions has opened up some serious discussions about using faster twists on 22 LR. The standard 1:16 rifling twist  has always worked fine for traditional 22 LR match shooting distances. But the longer distances of 100-300 yds are thought to perhaps need a faster twist to maintain stability. It's not confirmed yet but it certainly can't hurt.

  The "slow and heavy" bullet approach puts a TON of whack on small game, too. Just ask any old timer about how his old 22 short seemed to kill squirrels better than 22 LR ammo. Subsonics do the same thing only they fit properly in a 22 LR chamber and give much better accuracy because of it.
