I have a modle 20 rifle in 22 cal and would like to change barrle,but can't find anything on squire bingham.
I would like to know if there is a chambered,contured barrle available for it..If so where might I find it..
Or what would work for a substitute with out too much machining. The reciver mesures .755 inch diamiter and 1.23inch long.

thanks for any help

Welcome, fellow Canadian, I believe Squire Bingham is a Philippine based company(maybe I am wrong) so parts could be hard to find in Canada.

Assume the thickest part of the barrel is less than .755", most .22 heavy barrel is thicker than that. If I were you I'll find a gunsmith, bring the rifle and a .22 barrel, see if the smith is willing to turn the barrel into the same contour as the SB barrel( given that the smith have a good lathe).

Thanks for input. Yes they are made in the phillipines.

The part where the barrle and action come together mesures .775 diamiter. Most barrles I have looked at are only .560 in this area.
The action and barrle are pined together... So I wonder if One could machine a sleave to take up the diff. (.560 to .775)

Or I am going to have to get a blank and start from scratch.

Cooydog,
What is the length of the barrel though?
Barrels for Ruger 10/22 out there is very abundant, even factory skinny barrels start with a .910" base, but they are fitted differently. You might have to set the barrel back and turn it into the shape you want.

Factory 10/22 tapered barrels is only 18.5" long but aftermarket heavy barrels are longer, some 20", some 22", they cost a bit more since they are heavy barrels.

Well.....the length is bout 10 inches...

the previous owner cut it....an 18.5 would work i guess.. I could say put a 1.5" flash supresser to get the length over the required totall 18.5" needed to be leagle.
