Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 FJ Fedderson is a reputable barrel maker. Especially for the Ruger 10/22 and CZ model .22 rifles. He only lives about 30 minutes from the bunkhouse. Do any of you fellers use one of his barrels on your 10/22? I understand his barrels rival any of the well known brands, including KIDD. Any info you might share is appreciated. Thanks. EDIT: See updated post dated 7/30 ..........Widder
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 The very best shooting 10/22 bbl I have ever run! Loves std vel CCI ammo. He is now making rec'rs too. OLG
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 Howdy OLG. A friend of mine took his CZ 452 and put a Fedderson barrel on it. He says its noticeably more accurate. His shop is basically down the road from me and I think I will make a visit tomorrow. Talking with them today, it appears they have what I am looking for: 16.25" BULL barrel, stainless and threaded. I might have to take a copy of my FFL with me....... just in case..... ..........Widder
Hillbilly Drifter Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 where is he located? Link? My CZ 452 shoots terrible
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 Drifter, if my memory serves me correct, his website is: fjfedderson.com He's located in Loudon, TN. Thats just a little west of Knoxville and the Maryville area. His listed phone numbers on the website are: 865 / 408-1545 800 / 726-7388 .........Widder
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 The bbls are a bit heavy. I use mine to shoot flies at 50 yds. Take a look at his 10/22 rec'r. OLG
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 OLG: good morning. I've looked at those receivers on the website and they look impressive. Do you have one of those receivers also? I plan to visit his shop and use some of the 'Bunkhouse Boss' money. This afternoon, I could be back on the farm sighting a new barrel..... ..........Widder
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 He has rifles built and ready to go. You can even test fire at his shop. OLG
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 I didn't know that I could test fire any of them because the lady at the front desk didn't mention any of that. Anyhow, I bought his stainless, bull barrel, 6.25" and on of his nickeled receivers. VERY impressive workmanship. ..........Widder
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 We expect a full report with pictures. OLG

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 I wish I could talk about being a 'crack shot' but heck, I can't even hit the flying birds at a Cowboy match with my 12 ga. Lumpy: I got the nickeled receiver also. Its got the picatinny rail built into it. This thing is SOLID. I'm gonna put it all together in my 'sky blue' Boyd's stock that has 'stippled' type checkering. Beautiful stock. ..........Widder
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Hint-Use some copper anti-seize on the part of the bbl that fits inside the rec'r. OLG
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Posted July 28, 2017 Thanks for the info Lumpy. Great minds think alike because I already done it before I saw your post. My bolt is much smoother working inside that nickeled receiver. Looking forward to seeing just what it will do on small targets at 30, 40 and 50 yards. ..........Widder
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Posted July 28, 2017 For now, I'm using a NIKON 3-9 with AO, fine crosshair with TINY dot. Or it looks like a tiny dot where the hairs cross. (I don't think its really cross hair). I've got it sitting in a Boyd's stock. When I test it out, I plan to test it with free floating barrel and also with a minor pressure point out close to the end of the forestock. Do you have any suggestions? ..........Widder
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Go with it, Nikon is great glass. You may(or may not)want to look at Vortex Also try different action mounting screw torque with the stock. I run mine at 15 in/lbs. Make sure the TD screw is not touching the bbl. I run my 'V' block bbl clamp screws at 10 in/lbs. OLG
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Posted July 29, 2017 Great minds do still think alike. I was gona test mine with those torque lb settings. I'll let you know the results, hopefully within a week or so. ..........Widder
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Posted July 31, 2017 UPDATE: 7/30 I've installed my new Fedderson barrel and the Fedderson nickeled receiver, which helps smooth up the action. So far, it shoots very well. Here is the surprise: it functions (feeds and ejects) the CCI QUIET ammo. I didn't change out any springs or change out any internals. Nor did I mess with any springs. But that little jewel will let me put 10 CCI QUIET .22's in the mag and run em out like a normal .22's I may load up my BX-25 mag tomorrow and pop off 25 rounds of QUIET ammo just for the fun of it. Its almost like having a suppressor on a rifle. The only drawback is that the QUIET ammo isn't as accurate as I would like. LUMPY: how do you like that info? ..........Widder
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Do you use a recoil buffer? You should. Just think how much fun that would be with a suppressor...... OLG
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Posted July 31, 2017 YES, I use a recoil buffer. I might suppress it later, but just don't want to spend the $$ for that right now. ..........Widder
Chili Ron Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Howdy, Beyer has a second twist available it might be for the quiet load, don't know. Might be worth checkin out. Sounds Purdy good so far. Best CR

My CZ 452 shoots terrible I am surprised your CZ 452 shoots terrible. I have a Silhouette model and at 100 yards off sandbags with Remington match ammo it is a tack driver. I believe a test target is included in the box it cames in.
