Barrel for a PWS T3 action?

[jvencius]

Can anyone recommend a barrel, other than the PWS tube, that works well with a PWS T3 Summit action? I bought one a couple weeks ago to build into a suppressor host for on-the-sneak squirrel assassination but since the T3 has dual extractors I'm not sure if any old 10/22 barrel will work or if I have to use a barrel only from PWS? I don't have anything at all against PWS barrels but want to make sure that, since I'm spending $250+ on a rimfire barrel, that it's a wise and properly-researched purchase so I don't want to exclude a barrel maker I didn't know of. Kidd was at the top of the possibilities but I just called them and the lady who answered the phone (and who spoke with Tony) said that she wasn't sure if one of their tubes would work with a dual-extractor bolt.

I have a pws action with a kidd 20'' bull it works perfectly and is super accurate,less than a 1/2 inch gun at 50 yards. i used 2 of the pws shims between the barrel and action and it likes to eat wolf ammo after i tested a bunch of other subsonic ammo.

Good to hear--I know PWS says their actions are compatible with all 10/22 accessories (to include barrels) but my feeble little mind couldn't figure out how the dual extractors would work with a single-extractor-cut barrel. I'll most likely go with a threaded 16.5" barrel since I'm generally a fan of shorter/stiffer tubes and this rifle will wear a suppressor once we get settled at the new Casa JV and I can do the legal stuff to jump into the NFA world.
