This barrel is basically new, with a round count of at least fifty but certainly less than 100 rounds. I bought the rifle a few years ago and it shot like crap. I floated the barrel and it shot the two loads I had to experiment with between .50 and .75 for five shot groups. Then I put it away in the safe with the intent of working up some loads, but never did because come to find out I have no pressing use for a .223. The rifle has now been used as a donor for a 6mm project so this barrel is available. $100 shipped and insured, payment by USPS money order.

Vary interesting, I did not know ruger did any RL(ultralight) stainless 223’s. Was this a skeleton stock model?
This barrel would look nice on my Hawkeye rl action that currently has a 204 barrel on.

So, it came off of an older Ruger RL with a wood stock and the black forend tip????

This would be off a KM-77RLP, the stainless/Zytel synthetic version.

Roger that.
Thanks

The rifle was made the last year of production before they became Hawkeyes, so 2007 or thereabouts? It had the regular plastic stock.

Somewhat off subject but I bet one of those models should look great in a swapped factory walnut rl stock!

GLWYS!

I’ll bet it has a 10 twist to the rifling??
Or maybe even slower ??

I'm betting it's the 1-12". I have a Ruger Compact in .223 from around 2001 and it's a 1-12".

Yep, it’s 1/12.

Still available.

up again

Do you have the stock that was with it? I’m interested, but would need both. To be honest, I would love the whole gun. PM if you have anything more than just the barrel. Thanks
