[QUOTE="tug, post: 5788612, member: 4692"] I use a .920, 16 inch, non-tapered barrel in a Hogue overmolded stock. In a .22, especially with a short .920, there is very little value in free floating. I use the standard single screw mount with a better screw. I always shoot suppressed. There are several shortcomings that a monolithic barrel and receiver overcomes. The scope is unitized to the barrel. There is zero variance between the barrel and the magazine mount (receiver) increasing reliability. The bolt face can be perfectly square to the back of the barrel. The 10-22 barrel/receiver interface was designed for ease of assembly, not accuracy. There have been a million ways tried to overcome this issue. Parts, gun-smithing. Some of it works pretty well. But in the end, if you don't thread the barrel to the receiver, there will always be a little play. If you go this route, make sure you drill a cleaning rod access hole in back of the receiver.
