The Blaser R8 .22LR 1/2x28 Threaded Barrel is a premium rimfire barrel addition built specifically for the modular Blaser R8 straight-pull rifle platform. Cold-hammer-forged alongside its chamber out of highly tempered steel, this barrel guarantees optimal concentricity, extreme accuracy, and a long service life. It is engineered with a standard 17mm contour profile and includes a factory 1/2x28 muzzle thread, making it perfect for easily installing a rimfire suppressor or muzzle device. Designed to interface with the R8's rapid-change takedown architecture, the barrel can be swapped into an existing receiver layout in under two minutes using a single tool. This allows shooters to seamlessly convert their full-power big game hunting setup into an affordable, low-recoil option for precision target training and small-game hunting.
