Muzzle breaks can be found on most assault rifles and large caliber rifles. They keep the muzzle from rising up in the air after you shoot the bullet. That isn't much of a worry on a gun with a small caliber bullet like a .22LR or really any rimfire round. You can use muzzle breaks to make your rifle look extremely cool, usually for less than $30.

A number of websites sell muzzle breaks for the 10/22 rifle. Your best bet would probably be Volquartsen Custom. It offers a couple of muzzle breaks, all for under $75. These are meant to reduce noise, muzzle rise, and recoil. None of these are really an issue on a .22LR rifle, but they do look great which is really what you're going for.

The Volquartsen Custom stabilization module is supposed to increase the accuracy of your bullet. No one is 100% sure how well this works and it honestly sounds a lot like a gimmick. At $48.30 you might be better off just buying a muzzle break that looks better instead of betting on something that may or may not work. It really isn't all that much money and you can see for yourself if it improves your rifle's accuracy if you want.

Tactical Innovations sells a 10/22 muzzle break just like the one on some AR-15's. It is extremely cheap at $15 and looks quite good on a tactical styled 10/22. It is made of steel, but doesn't do much more than look cool on the end of your rifle. It is supposed to hide the rifle's flash, but once again, it's a .22. Can't be too much flash to hide.

Mounting Solutions Plus offers the muzzle break I have on my 10/22. It looks really nice on my rifle, which is basically an exact copy of a Mini-14. I didn't personally pick out the muzzle break. It was on the rifle when I bought it at the pawn shop. Either way, my muzzle isn't rising over my head and it looks really nice. If you have a wood stock on your 10/22 you just might want to buy this muzzle break.

These are just some of the options you have available to you for you 10/22. Remember, you bought a Ruger because you wanted the after market choices that Remington and Marlin just don't have. Shop around and find a muzzle break that you like.
