    Ok, so I have built up a few 10/22s with bull barrels, factory barrels, different stocks and internals. Recently I saw a post on rimfire central about a company(zimmerman arms) that takes a GM barrel barrel blank and turns it down to a .750 diameter and threads the end. Since I'm stuck with a few extra factory stocks, I thought I would drop one in and see how it shoots. It is also fluted and is supposedly lighter than a stock sporter barrel. It sound to good to be true, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. The only down side I can see is that it might get a little hot when rapid firing. Anyhow, I will post some pics when the rifle is complete and probably post a product review thread as well. In the meantime, If you have heard of them or used them let us all hear about it.

    No pics yet but my barrel came in last night. They don't include a thread protector, so I am installing a birdcage flasher hider(AR type). I will put out a range report by monday or tuesday on its shooting performance. In the meantime, I will try to take some pictures and put them up. This barrel looks sooo cool even on my factory synthetic stock, definitely something to see.

    Zimmerman match ss barrel

    Ok, so here it is mounted on a factory syn stock(90s style). If this barrel shoots like a "match" barrel I am going to be very pleased. Even if it doesn't, at least it looks like a million bucks.
