Tactical Solutions X-Ring 16.5" Open Sight Barrel for Ruger 10/22
The Tactical Solutions X-Ring Open Sight Barrel
combines lightweight construction, precision rimfire
engineering, and traditional iron sights in one
distinctive Ruger 10/22 barrel.
At approximately 15 ounces, the 16.5-inch X-Ring
features a fluted 6061-T6 aluminum exterior,
chromoly steel bore, adjustable rear sight,
fiber-optic front sight, and 1/2-28 threaded muzzle.
It delivers the substantial appearance of a .920"
target barrel without the weight of a comparable
full-steel design.
Lightweight Barrel. Full-Size Target Profile.
The X-Ring uses an aluminum outer structure
surrounding a rifled steel bore. Tactical Solutions
pairs this construction with a 1:16 twist,
hand-finished chamber, and 11-degree target crown.
Integrated open sights distinguish the 1022OSMB
from conventional optic-only target barrels.
The rear sight is adjustable for windage and
elevation, while the fiber-optic front sight
provides a highly visible aiming reference.
Tactical Solutions vs. KIDD and Volquartsen
Tactical Solutions, KIDD, and Volquartsen are
established names in the Ruger 10/22 aftermarket,
but their barrel designs address different
priorities.
The X-Ring emphasizes lightweight construction
and integrated sights. KIDD is widely recognized
for precision rimfire barrel engineering, while
Volquartsen offers premium match-barrel designs
with a variety of materials and configurations.
Pete's Pillars also carries the
Volquartsen VC10NC-28 Stainless Match Barrel
,
an 18.5-inch .920-profile design representing
a more substantial stainless steel alternative.
Complementary Ruger 10/22 Components
Pete's Pillars manufactures practical American-made
parts for the Ruger 10/22 alongside its catalog of
premium aftermarket components.
Our
Pete's Pillars P7643-BLK Viton Bolt Buffer and Trigger Pin Kit
includes a resilient Viton bolt buffer and
two stainless steel trigger assembly pins.
The buffer cushions rearward bolt contact
and helps reduce mechanical action noise.
Another notable Ruger 10/22 component is the
Volquartsen TG2000 Trigger Guard Assembly
.
Its billet aluminum housing, wire-EDM-machined
internal components, and approximately 2.25-pound
trigger pull distinguish it from conventional
factory trigger assemblies.
Ruger 10/22 Stocks and Chassis Compatibility
The X-Ring's .920-inch contour requires
appropriate barrel channel clearance.
Pete's Pillars carries several stock and
chassis configurations for the fixed-barrel
Ruger 10/22 platform.
For MDT Oryx owners, Pete's Pillars also
manufactures the
PPFL-ARC Full-Length ARCA Rail
,
featuring a continuous ARCA mounting interface
and integrated QD sling cups.
Stock, receiver, and barrel-channel compatibility
should be verified for the individual rifle.
This X-Ring barrel is not the 10/22 Takedown model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both manufacturers offer Ruger 10/22-specific
stock configurations accommodating target
barrel contours. The X-Ring uses a .920-inch

construction with integrated open sights.
