Mike’s Stocks barrels?

[mudholestomper]

I’m aware of the usual recommendations when it comes to quality 10/22 barrels, but I really don’t want to spend $425+ on a barrel.

I was gifted a 10/22 takedown and I want to make a decent backpack gun out of it. It’s got a nice trigger and a Boyd’s thumbhole stock, but I have a Magpul Hunter for it now. The stock is odg, and I’m going for either the black on odg or fde on odg aesthetic.

I want to get a threaded 16” bull barrel and a lightweight scope for it. I found Mikes Stocks on eBay. He sells blued fluted takedown barrels for $225ish.

Does anyone have experience with his barrels? I don’t need world class accuracy, but reliability is a big factor.

Thanks for any input!

I have no experience with Mikes personally but the barrels stock numbers are preceeded with KSA (Keystone Sporting Arms). They made the Crickett I believe then got into 10/22 barrels. From what I read their Cricketts were very nice shooters. I haven't seen much on the 10/22 barrels but they seem legit. It appears they have what you want for the right price; give 'em a shot.

Well dang, that’s a great piece of insight. Thank you for sharing.

I confirmed with the seller that they are KSA barrels. It’s also in the full description.
