Our Assessment: The Ruger 10/22 is a well-known rimfire semi-auto that has a huge following, and has spawned various aftermarket stocks, barrels and trigger assemblies that combined can easily exceed the purchase price of the rifle. This rifle is an example of a factory-custom rifle from Volquartsen Customs Ltd., one of the best makers of Ruger 10/22 custom parts and accessories. It is in Excellent condition with about 99% of its finish remaining. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The barrel is an aluminum THM tension bull barrel with Volquartsen’s I-fluting and a 16-hole muzzle brake which is threaded to the barrel with a barely visible seam. This promises to be a very accurate rifle and with its light weight and compensator, this should be qick-handling with little muzzle movement making it ideal for any sort of rapid-fire smallbore competition. Just add a scope or red-dot and you’ve got yourself a fine little plinker. Please see our photos and good luck!
