ruger 10/22 takedown model barrels

[HighGround260]

I was thinking about getting a ruger 10/22 takedown model. I was wondering if it uses standerd 10/22 barrels as I like to get a threaded one to run a can on. Anyone know?

Not sure about swapping barrels, but you can buy a threaded takedown .

It does not use standard 10/22 barrels.

I have a threaded one. I like it a lot, but the barrel was way over threaded for my sparrow or outback. I did not measure, but it had to be at least .75 inch of threading on there before my smith fixed it for the sparrow.

That may be something to watch out for. Other than that its been great.

I have a threaded 10/22 (not a takedown) and had the same problem. The threads are much longer than standard so you'll have to either shorten the barrel, get a custom muzzle device, or live with exposed threads. The takedown models with threads that I have seen still have open sights, which I think is ugly. Mine has a smooth barrel and looks much nicer. I took off the flash suppressor and added a custom thread cap.
