Re: 10/22 threaded barrel
I can't help you with threading your factory barrel, but I went with a Kidd barrel and have been pleased. No suppressor yet however so it's just wearing a compensator (thread protector).

if your existing barrel shoots well....have it threaded

Re: 10/22 threaded barrel
Oodin, whose compensator are you using and how are your groups?
With my Kidd bbl, I was shooting 1" 10shot groups at 100yds, but I had to take my thread protector off because it messed with my accuracy. After a few shots, it would loosen up. And even with it tightened, I still think that the muzzle tension was causing some inconsistencies.
Kidd stuff is great.
BTW, it was only after I fit my suppressor that the thread protector would work loose. I think that he normally has some high threads near the shoulder to keep the thread protector from backing off.

I like the tactical innovations personally, but you could have a smith thread your barrel for less.

Re: 10/22 threaded barrel
I see you are planning on threading your barrel... if not... KIDD all the way.

I'm using a Tactical Solutions compensator. I haven't shot for groups, I set this 10/22 up as a fun plinker with a lightweight barrel and red dot sight. I did just check now and the comp was loose (no thread locker at all, hand tight) after my range session yesterday. We were only plinking out to ~25 yards though and the cans didn't notice the difference
OT: Took two new guys out shooting yesterday, they'd never shot a gun before.

Re: 10/22 threaded barrel
I cant remember the 'smith that does it, but when he threads a barrel he backbores the barrel and recrowns before the threaded portion to avoid the swelling that occurs when the muzzle is threaded.
