The Magnum Research Magnum Lite Barrel (brand part no. ABAR1022GT) is a 16.5-inch, threaded replacement barrel chambered in .22 LR and built around a patented uni-directional graphite carbon fiber construction for the Ruger 10/22. That carbon fiber wrap dissipates heat far faster than a bare steel barrel, running up to 43% cooler during sustained shooting strings, while shedding significant weight from the front of the rifle. It’s compatible with all Ruger 10/22 models except the Takedown, making it a straightforward drop-in upgrade for the standard-action 10/22 lineup.
