Lol thanks. I put my 10/22 together before the factory B-TM models were available. That also meant I had to find a model where iron sights were included with a threaded barrel which was hard (there is or were two, 31113 and a Bass Pro exclusive). Only downside I ended up with was not getting a 16.1" (?) inch barrel like the factory models and instead an 18.5". But I ended up with a much more complete rifle anyways so whatever. Once the factory built 10/22s came out I noticed just how many features they were missing compared to mine since I had to dig through the Samson catalog over and over again while I waited for my 10/22, Samson parts, other improvement parts, etc. Still really don't understand why Ruger or MGE (it's their exclusive model) don't just take that barrel and send them through one more process to give them a dovetail and include the $26 barrel band and a $25 heat shield on a ~$700 10/22 model. Not sure what gun they may have used that barrel on before (IIRC an anniversary model used it) but why skip the dovetail on this model? Also pic does not fit thread, actually the opposite.
