Dedicated .22lr 10.5” barrel with carbine FSB

Not a true dissipator, but still very cool. This is a Kino configuration from BCM. It's a carbine length gas system but a Mid length sight base. You get optimal gas timing with a more convenient sight radius. I got this same upper for one of my SBR's.

Very cool, but this is 5.56. I need a dedicated .22lr

Ugh - you did say dedicated and not "with conversion kit". Regardless, I have that very upper as an SBR and it is very slick.

Here’s the 4.5” pistol I’ve spent way too much money on for a .22lr but it’s one of the most fun guns I have.

That is slick. What is that folding brace you are using? Definitely one advantage to using a dedicated 22.

I was also thinking about getting a set screw FSB and dimpling an off the shelf 10.5 barrel. It won’t be battle durable, but should still work since it’s only a .22lr. Without the gas block shoulder it might be a little tricky getting in exactly the right spot. Are there any good companies still cutting and threading barrels for a reasonable price? Right to Bear has a dedicated M4 clone that would work perfect if cut down to 10.5”

It's a range toy, don't worry about the setscrews. I have a couple of FSB's that I used set screws on and they haven't moved even though they get knocked around.

It’s the new Midwest folder with a Gearhead Works Tailhook.

It’s the new Midwest folder with a Gearhead Works Tailhook. With a Vortex red dot we were ringing a 6” plate at 100 yards offhand with every shot.

What about a 9” barrel? https://www.righttobear.com/rtb-dedicated-22lr-kit-9-barrel-stainless-bolt-group-charging-handle/

True - you don't need 29" OAL if it's a rimfire.

That’s a nice barrel, I have the 4.5 on my pistol. For this build I want a FSB and carbine hand guards for the Colt Commando look.
