			I've always  thought the barrel band on the 10/22 was a bad feature on an otherwise terrific design.You  can relieve  them, as described above, so they don't  contact the barrel, and  that may help.
 On my 10/22, I  did relieve the barrel band, and  glass bed  the V  block area. Then I  got a decent trigger  on it, and installed a good scope on good  mounts. None  of the stamped  tip off crap  mounts! I discovered with a decent trigger  pull and  good optics, mine shoots  quite well - well enough for any small game I  might  hunt with it. So, I've never tried after market barrels or stocks.
