10/22 Muzzle Brake

ppppppppppp

Why?

For reduced recoil and muzzle climb. Duh, Stoopy.

Yeah those .22 punish the shoulder. :lol: a .22lr is smaller than a .223 so it should work just fine.

actually, i thought i remembered reading that .22lr is actually .224 diameter but maybe that's .22mag.....not that it should affect being able to use the muzzle break, just something interesting.

it might not be an issue, but it also might not help like you want it too. the holes in a MB are designed to move a specific amount of gas and if that isn't there, the only added benefit you might get is the extra (nominal) weight on the barrel.

I think MB's are a good idea if you plan on doing some rapid fire shots and want to stay on target. it kills me how far apart my groupings are during rapid fire some times....

.22lr projectile diameter is .224"
.223/5.56 projectile diameter is .224"

I don't normally pick nits.. but the name of the cartridge does not always indicate the exact diameter of the projectile. (another big example would be .50BMG's .510 diameter projectile)

@Shocknm - If you are looking for a tacticool addition for the 10/22, I'm sure a wicked looking muzzle brake would appeal to such taste. I might avoid an overly large brake, as the added weight may change the harmonics of the barrel and affect long-range precision.. though for a plinker rifle, this is probably a moot point. So long as the threads match, I can't see why this couldn't be done. (I've seen photos of folks with brakes on their 10/22, and a bunch of other rimfire firearms for that matter)

I've always felt that spending dollars trying to make a 10/22 appear like an AR-15, is akin to trying to make a VW bug into a Porsche 911. No offense, but it just makes me chuckle.

A "muzzle break" attached to a .22LR isn't going to do squat as far as taming recoil. But, if you want it for "looks," have at it.

this is what VQ says about one of their compensators:

Aligns exiting barrel gas so it surrounds and stabilizes the bullet for increased accuracy. Turned from lightweight aluminum so it won’t change the balance or feel of your rifle.

I think it would make for a great stocking stuffer for a little dude

[protoolsnerd]

I agree , great little Tacti-cool gift for a young shooter. What about a new trigger ? Small, fits in a stocking well...whole bunch of choices for a 10/22 .

[Stoopy]

.22 long rifle bullet diameter is .222 inches.
.223 bullet diameter is .224 inches. You will have an extra .001 inchs all the way around. You will be good to go.

Any issues with using a 1/2-28 muzzle brake intended for .223/5.56 on a factory 10/22 Ruger 1/2-28 threaded barrel?
Just making sure...

Your Post is a little early for April Fools!

my dad put a Porsche engine in a bug....it was impossible to burn out even with full RPM's...just took off like a bat out of hell and pinned you to the seat. killed alot of cars in the quarter mile with that thing

the only advantage to having a MB on a .22 is reduction in barrel rise.

IJMO, of course !!

Thanks guys, for the feedback and input. We're gonna do it !

Porches are nothing more than fancy VWs,,, I had a 1974 911 for a while !!!
