Hello Gentlemen,

I have returned to seek your expertise once again. I just got a new 10-22 magnum with the intention of setting it up with a .17HRM barrel and also a .22 mag bull barrel that I might occasionally swap out. I have heard conflicting reports as to whether this is a true "no real gunsmithing required" barrel swap and would appreciate any feedback from those who have done it. I would also like to hear from anybody that has tried the newer (less expensive) bull barrels from Green Mountain and Butler Creek. As always any pertinent advice is appreciated.

Hey Coyote,
Do I understand you to say that the .17 barrels that GM sells (which are77/22) will fit the 10-22 Magnum? So far I have had a trigger job done and an extended magazine release installed by a l Gent who does it at the local gun show here in Austin. Trigger pull is now about1.5 pounds. I am trying to decide between GM fluted or possibly BC carbon fiber. Thanks for the information but clarify the above for me.
