Probably the most exciting thing to come out of this year’s SHOT Show, to me anyway, is the new Ruger 10/22 Takedown with factory threaded barrel and flash suppressor. It maintains all of the features of the original Takedown 10/22 except in a black-finished alloy steel and with the addition of the aforementioned threads and A2 birdcage style flash suppressor.
The 1/2×28 threads mean that, in addition to taking any AR-15/M16 style muzzle device, it is also ready to have a .22LR can added. Since I’ve been wanting to see how the Takedown 10/22 works with a suppressor for a while, this is the perfect opportunity for me to beg plead and cajole for a T&E model from Ruger.
So – if you guys at Ruger are listening, shoot me an email. I’d love to take one for a test drive!
