Barrel reproofing

https://www.wilson55.com/auction/lot/lot-598---ruger-10-22-22lr-semi-auto-rifle-serial/?lot=205178&so=0&st=10%2022&sto=0&au=592&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=0&mc=900&sc=911&pp=96&pn=1&g=1

Hi all, considering purchasing the linked 10/22 at auction - but it's a bit of an oddity.

It's serial links it to being a model 01117 - 10/22, Blued, 18.5" barrel

But this one is silver/stainless (or perhaps bead blasted receiver?), with a black trigger, rail and blued barrel.

The barrel is also 16" - with a dovetail for the rear sight, and no front sight. The barrel behind the threads also has a little lip.

The auction house says there are no proofing marks near the muzzle, just what seems the be the original, and no extra proof marks by the breach - but to me this appears to be a shortened and re-threaded barrel.

How do I check this? And a side note, what would the consequences be if this is an unproofed barrel?

Many thanks

Buying first gun

Hi all,

Recently got my FAC and looking to purchase my first file rifle soon.

I'm after a used Ruger 10/22, and sort of realised I have no idea what to expect, what to look for etc when looking and buying

I've found 2 or 3 that I like the look of, all of which are over an hour drive from me as I appear to live in an RFD deadzone (excluding shotguns)

Any tips or generally what to expect very much appreciated

Barrel swap procedure

Morning all, recently got my FAC so now on the hunt for my first firearm(s).

I really want a Ruger 10/22 with a 15"-16" barrel, but they seem to be hard to come by.

So how difficult/expensive is it to have a barrel swapped either by an RFD - or what is the process if I did/can do it myself?

Thanks in advance
