Teaser: Changing a Ruger 10/22 Barrel
This YouTube video features Brownells Gun Tech™ Caleb Savant demonstrating how to replace the barrel on a Ruger 10/22 rifle. The tutorial covers essential steps like ensuring the firearm is unloaded, removing the stock, and then carefully removing and installing the barrel using a vise and hex wrenches. It highlights the importance of locking the bolt open to protect the extractor and provides torque specifications for reassembling the barrel and stock. The process is applicable to the Ruger 10/22 and compatible .22 LR rimfire rifles, including those built on a Brownells BRN-22 receiver. The video concludes with a reminder to test fire the rifle after the barrel replacement.
