customers. These pursuits of perfection led to the develop- ment of the X-Ring 10/22 receiver. A solid billet of 6061 T6 aluminum is precision CNC machined with the same footprint as the Ruger receiver, but this is where the similarity begins and ends. The receiver has a mil-spec rail that accepts Weaver or Picatinny style rings and is milled as part of the receiver. In another unusual twist, the hardened steel bolt runs on a pair of custom springs, instead of the usual single spring. I am sure that this is one of the reasons that the bolt runs so smooth and true. I have run several thousand rounds through this receiver with nary a problem. A large custom charging handle makes it quicker and easier to chamber a fresh round as well as extract an unfi red round. To simplify cleaning and eliminate potential crown damage infl icted by inserting the cleaning rod through the muzzle end, a cleaning hole in the back of the receiver has been added. To further grab your interest and attention, TAC SOL (Tactical Solutions) has anodized the receiver in a variety of colors to suit the tastes of just about anybody. Since the key to improving accuracy is a good trigger, I
asked Timney to send me their new 10/22 trigger to try. Tim- ney didn’t just improve upon the original 10/22 trigger, but reinvented the wheel. Timney designed a single stage drop-in trigger with Tefl on-Nickel coated internal components that have been cut on state-of-the-art EDM machinery to extremely precise tolerances. Its gold clad housing harbors a completely redesigned trigger, sear and hammer that results in improved leverage and trigger geometry. This translates into a smooth and crisp trigger that breaks cleanly at 2.5 pounds. A light re- sponsive trigger such as this greatly enhances a barrel’s innate accuracy. Timney has done an outstanding job of providing clear and concise instructions in regard to replacing factory components with their trigger. I took my time and replaced the trigger in about thirty minutes. As we all are aware, the factory magazine release can be
diffi cult to activate in a hurry or if wearing gloves. With my big paws I am at a disadvantage under any conditions. TAC SOL solved this problem in a unique way that 10/22 users have never seen. Think lever action! A lever action magazine release not only increases the functionality, ease of use, and the speed of reloading, it just looks totally cool. In addition, the TAC SOL magazine releases come in the same vibrant colors as the receivers. This color-coordinating effort is carried on in their
barrels. Boasting the same stunning colors as found in the receivers, these 16.5" ultra-lightweight barrels feature pre- cision machined fl uted 0.920" barrels with a match-grade chrome-moly bore liner. This “light as air” barrel signifi cantly contributes to a lightweight 10/22 that puts the bullet where you aim, can be carried all day without fatigue, and is fast shouldering when that unexpected varmint pops up out of nowhere! An accuracy-enhancing 11-degree target crown adorns the muzzle. As an added low cost option, the barrel can be purchased already threaded for a suppressor (½ x 28 Class 2 threads) or a compensator/muzzle brake. If you consider what it costs to have a barrel custom threaded, TAC SOL is practically giving you the barrel! On top of this, TAC SOL includes a screw-on thread protector in case you don’t want to use the suppressor or brake all the time. To further enhance its custom image, the barrel features an oversize shank. With a

smidge of light sanding you can have a tight lockup between barrel and receiver, further ensuring top accuracy. To match our “blue theme,” Tactical Solutions sent me
