Brownells makes one of the best aftermarket 10/22 style receivers on the market. If you’ve been keen to pick up one of these for a new 10/22 build, you might be interested to know that Brownells is making a limited production run of BRN-22 Silver receivers. The new finish is a clear hard coat anodize that perfectly matches stainless steel barrels and protects the raw aluminum underneath better than other finishes.

NEW BRN-22 Silver Receivers – Raw Aluminum Charm
The Brownells BRN-22 Receiver is ready to be the foundation of your custom rimfire rifle build. Each BRN-22 receiver is precision-machined from 6061 aluminum billet to exacting tolerances. Why machined instead of forged, like most commercial receivers? All you need to do is look inside at the smooth, clean interior to realize that a machined receiver can be held to much tighter tolerances for a precise fit with other parts. After machining, BRN-22 receivers get a tough matte black Type 2 hardcoat anodized finish (like the finishes found on many AR-15 receivers). There’s even a pre-drilled cleaning rod hole at the rear of each Brownells BRN-22 receiver for easy cleaning of the bore from the chamber, the PROPER way to prevent a cleaning rod from damage to the muzzle crown that can compromise accuracy.
- Stripped receiver ONLY
- Comes with V block and screws
- Machined from high-grade 6061 T6 aluminum billet
- Durable matte black hardcoat anodized finish or clear anodized finish
- Compatible with OEM Ruger® 10/22® components
- Cleaning rod access hole at rear
- Barrel and receiver sold separately
The Railed BRN-22R has an integral 0 MOA Picatinny top rail for extra security and versatility in scope mounting. The Smooth version has mounting holes that will work with standard Ruger® 10/22® scope rails.
Due to varying dimensions in aftermarket and some older factory aluminum trigger housings, fitting may be required.
The BRN-22 receivers are designed to work in conjunction with Ruger® 10/22® OEM bolts, and as such may not work with all aftermarket bolts.
The new receiver option is currently only offered in the flat top configuration (versus the integrated Picatinny rail version) however, the flat top edition is still drilled and tapped to accept Weaver and Picatinny rail adapters. The new finish option is the exact same price as the standard black finish edition and should only set you back about $120 when ordered directly from the Brownells website.
