I have been adding accessories to my Ruger 10/22 rifle. In addition to the fantastic Tapco Intrafuse 10/22 stock, I added a Barska Muzzle Brake/Flash Hider. This is marketed under several brand names, but, I think they are all the same.
Does a .22 rifle need a muzzle brake or flash hider? No, but I think it looks good on my Ruger 10/22 Taptical (Tapco Tactical) rifle! And at only $10.00 on sale at Amazon.com, it was a very affordable addition.
The quality of the body is very good, but, the set screw and supplied Allen wrench are crap! The metal is so soft that it easily strips when you try to tighten it enough to stay in place. It happened to me. The hex opening at the top of the set screw deformed enough to not allow it to be tightened. No problem! Just head down to the hardware store and get a new one.
I first tried the “big box” hardware stores. What a waste of time. They don’t have crap as far as true “hardware” goes! They suggested to try an auto parts store. I tried one of those, too! They suggested to try a local hardware store. You know, one of those that have been around for decades and have several rows of screws, nuts, bolts, and any imaginable connector. Luckily, there was one in town.
Sure enough, they were able to match the set screw. It took a while, but the person helping me would not give up. It is an unusual size, but, here it is in case anyone reading this has the same problem:
4mm x 5mm x .70-thread
The metal on these U.S. made set screws are very hard. They didn’t show any signs of weakening when I really put the torque to it. I will post a review of this and other accessories on an upcoming review of the Ruger 10/22 Taptical rifle.
proficiently and effectively.
