TANDEMKROSS Comet Lightweight Barrel for Ruger 22 Charger - Black/Black

Upgrade your rimfire pistol with the ultimate balance of speed, accuracy, and utility. The TANDEMKROSS Comet Lightweight Barrel for the Ruger® 22 Charger™ is a premium, competition-ready upgrade engineered to transform your rimfire build.

At the core of the Comet is a precision-machined stainless steel barrel designed to withstand heavy round counts and harsh range conditions. To cut weight without sacrificing structural rigidity, the steel barrel is encased and held in tension by a rugged, aircraft-grade aluminum shroud. This tensioned setup ensures excellent harmonics and tight shot groups, even during rapid fire.

The standout feature of the Comet barrel is its fully integrated shroud, which provides direct M-LOK® mounting capability. This eliminates the need for bulky aftermarket handguards, letting you mount bipods, lights, lasers, or specialized optics directly to the barrel profile.
