SHAW RUGER 10/22 18″ POLISHED 416R STAINLESS BULL BARREL – .22 LR
Bull-Barrel Accuracy Without the Premium Price.
The Shaw 1022BSS18 is an 18″ polished 416R stainless bull barrel for the Ruger 10/22, button rifled, stress relieved and cut with a Bentz-style .22 LR chamber and a target crown. It's the smartest first step past the factory pencil barrel: a stiffer, match-style barrel from a respected barrel maker at a price that leaves room in the budget for the rest of the build.
The factory 10/22 barrel is thin, and it heats up, whips and wanders. A bull barrel adds the mass and stiffness that tighten groups and keep them tight as the barrel warms. Shaw drills, reams, button rifles and stress relieves every bore, then finishes it with a target crown, so you get the foundations of a precision barrel without paying for a name on the side. Use it for: first 10/22 upgrades, budget precision builds, plinkers, small-game rifles and youth or training rifles.
Built Right, Priced Right.
The 416R stainless resists corrosion and the polished finish gives the rifle a clean, classic look. The Bentz-style chamber is a long-time favorite for 10/22 accuracy because it feeds reliably while keeping the bullet well aligned with the bore. It installs on the standard fixed-barrel 10/22 receiver with the factory V-block. Prefer blued? See the Shaw 18″ Blued Bull Barrel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fitment, stocks, comparisons and building out your 10/22.
Will it fit my Ruger 10/22?
It fits standard fixed-barrel Ruger 10/22 receivers with the factory V-block mounting. It is not a 10/22 Takedown barrel assembly.
Will it fit my factory stock?
Usually not. A bull barrel needs a bull-barrel channel. The MDT Field Stock, KRG Bravo and MDT Oryx are popular choices. Confirm barrel channel clearance on any stock.
Which is better, Shaw or Green Mountain?
We only carry parts we trust, can stand behind and know are built with quality, so you're in good hands either way. Green Mountain barrels are a proven value choice too, including the 18″ fluted bull. Shaw's polished 416R stainless, button rifling and Bentz-style chamber make the 1022BSS18 an easy pick for a first upgrade.
What chamber does it use?
A Bentz-style .22 LR chamber, a 10/22 favorite that balances reliable feeding with accuracy.
Is it threaded?
No. It has a target crown and no threads. For a threaded barrel, see the Tactical Solutions X-Ring or Volquartsen Carbon Fiber Barrel, both 1/2-28.
What should I upgrade next?
Add our Viton Bolt Buffers for smoother cycling, a Picatinny scope rail, and a better trigger like the Volquartsen TG2000 or TandemKross Manticore. KIDD single-stage triggers are another popular upgrade.
Can I use KIDD or TandemKross parts with it?
Yes. The Shaw uses the standard 10/22 barrel interface, so it works alongside KIDD, TandemKross and Volquartsen internals. See everything in our Ruger 10/22 Parts & Upgrades Collection.
