The Magnum Research MagnumLite 10/22 Barrel (brand part no. ABAR1022GT) is a 16.5-inch .22 LR replacement barrel built with the company’s patented ULTRA aluminum carbon composite construction. Magnum Research engineered the composite to dissipate heat faster than steel, so the barrel stays cooler through long rimfire strings with no change in zero — the drift that plagues heated steel barrels simply is not part of the design. The result is a lightweight upgrade that transforms a factory Ruger 10/22 into a faster-handling, more consistent shooter. Among rifle barrels, the MagnumLite favors 10/22 owners building a lightweight trainer or squirrel rifle that holds its zero hot or cold.
