Ruger 10/22 Take Down

[One Shot]

Does anyone know if the barrels can be swapped out on these? Or switched over to a heavy barrel?
I'm currious if the barrel is attached to the forend besides the barrel band.

The bbl is for now proprietary, It locks in to the receiver using a cam type lug on the bbl to a female socket on the receiver. Nothing that cannot be fab'd up with milling machine and lathe. Don't expect the aftermarket bbl's to be under $150-200 once they hit the market. When they do, some beta testing will probably happen as not all head space might be the same on the take down 10/22's. Browse rimfirecentral and see what the rimfire version of AR nutz are saying.
