The Ruger 10/22 16.1-inch Carbon Fiber Sleeved Barrel (Ruger part no. 90989) is a precision-rifled, cold hammer-forged .22 LR barrel built for 10/22 platform rifles. The stainless-steel core is wrapped in a carbon fiber sleeve, making it lighter than a conventional steel alloy barrel while staying more rigid to reduce vibration. Manufactured by Ruger, this 16.1-inch bull-profile barrel weighs only 1.05 pounds and is threaded for the addition of muzzle devices, with a thread cap included. It is a strong option for 10/22 owners chasing better accuracy without adding weight.
