I am looking to build another upper for my AR-10 and want it in .22-250 if possible for varmint and hog hunting. Does anyone know of a company that makes barrels and/or uppers for a build like this? I want a 20-22" stainless steel barrel with adjustable gas block and lightweight mlok freefloat handguard.

- Start date
Patriot valley has the option right on their website.
This is the place I hear of most frequently.

Just keep in mind the amount of case taper the 22-250 has and potential feeding issues it may cause in a magizine if your loading more than a handfull of rounds.
What about a 22 Creedmoor?
I figure I am limited to no more than 5 rounds in the mag. My AICS mags are that way. I have never really heard a lot of good things about Olympic Arms but I will take a look.
Trying to stick with a caliber I already shoot and reload for.
Oly arms are ok. I’ve got two of there ar15s and they do what I ask of them every time! I also believe xcaliber makes barrels for them.
Olympic Arms is out of business. I’d get a .224 Valkyrie or a .204 Ruger AR if I were you.
Did you see the date on that article? January 26, 2017. They had talked of closing, selling and staying where they are, or selling and moving. After some restructuring of the business, they are still open. I have some friends that work there and some that did work there, one being head of marketing.

First of all, we’d like to apologize for any confusion that currently may exist. Circumstances since our original announcement made January 2017 have changed, and remain fluid. During this period of change, we’d like to assure you that Olympic Arms remains open and active, and that you may continue to purchase with confidence.
Current market trends are forcing a restructuring of operations and an inevitable downsizing. However, at this time our full intent is to continue uninterrupted operations and pursue a variety of options that allow us to move forward continuing our innovation in the AR15 industry, and the possible expansion into other arenas within the industry. No paths are off-limits to our consideration.
You may have heard or understood that Olympic Arms is in the process of entertaining offers for the sale or restructuring of the company. This too is accurate.

It is probable that whatever solution is found, Olympic Arms will relocate within the next calendar year.

Quite frankly, I have just been kicking this idea around myself, .22-250. If a 90 SMK @ 2700 is appealing, imagine a 95 SMK w/ .600 BC doing 2850 or so. It would probably work better in a gasser to just go .22-243 and hold more in a magazine. Where's my R&D lottery money when I need it?
That's what I arrived at and found out I reinvented the wheel, lmao.

Hmm. I would love that for varmint hunting. Can't find it on their website though.
I found another manufacture that makes them they have to models APF field 20 inch barrel and FDE with 24 in barrel 22-250
