Volquartsen Custom Firearms has debuted their latest offering with the new Open Sight Lightweight barrel for the iconic Ruger 10/22 pattern.
Volquartsen Custom Firearms state “Volquartsen Firearms continues to expand their line of precision rimfire barrels for the 10/22® platform with the release of the new Open Sight Lightweight Carbon Fiber Barrel.
The Volquartsen Lightweight Barrel with Open Sights features an XS Ghost Ring Rear (ID .191″) with a Williams Gun Sights fiber optic front sight (.060″ diameter available in red or green). This combination lends itself to fast and easy sight acquisition.
“The Lightweight Carbon Fiber Barrel with Open Sights for the 10/22® sets the standard for a lightweight barrel – bull barrel match accuracy at half the weight,” commented Volquartsen Firearms Marketing Director Chad Wittrock. A stainless-steel barrel fitted with a woven carbon fiber tube creates an air space between the barrel and sleeve, helping the barrel stay cool under rapid-fire conditions.
The rigidity of the carbon fiber tube allows the barrel to be put in tension, minimizing barrel vibrations typically found on smaller barrel diameters.”
