Taurus TX22 Competition Conversion Kit – Limited Edition OD Green Cerakote | Optic Ready Upper | 5.25" Threaded Barrel

The Taurus TX22 Competition Conversion Kit in OD Green Cerakote is a complete, assembled .22 LR upper assembly that converts a standard full-size Taurus TX22 pistol to the optic-ready TX22 Competition configuration. It pairs a 5.25" threaded bull barrel with a barrel-mounted optic system, so your red dot stays fixed while the slide cycles.

Confirm your model before ordering. This kit fits standard full-size Taurus TX22 (.22 LR) pistols and Taurus TX22 Competition pistols. It does not fit Taurus TX22 Compact models. The firearm frame and magazine are not included.

If you already own a full-size TX22, this kit gives you the TX22 Competition upper without buying a second pistol. It's a factory Taurus upper assembly that arrives fully assembled: OD Green Cerakote slide, 5.25" threaded bull barrel, recoil spring assembly, one multi-footprint optic plate (already installed), and mounting screws. TX22 Competition owners can also run it as an alternate-color upper on the pistol they have.

What sets the TX22 Competition design apart is where the optic sits. On most optic-ready pistols, the red dot rides on top of the moving slide. Here, the optic plate mounts to the stationary 5.25" bull barrel, so the optic stays fixed while the slide cycles underneath it and the slide isn't carrying the optic's weight.

The barrel is threaded 1/2x28 and ships with a thread protector. If you'd rather shoot irons, the kit has a white-dot front sight and an adjustable rear. The slide is finished in OD Green Cerakote, a ceramic-based coating applied for abrasion, chemical, and corrosion resistance, and the barrel is matte black.

This is a limited production run made exclusively for ShopTaurus.com, and future batches aren't guaranteed once it sells out. The kit is backed by the Taurus Limited Lifetime Warranty. Install it by field-stripping your pistol as described in your Taurus TX22 owner's manual, and have a qualified gunsmith handle it if you have any question about installation, fit, or function.

Key Features

• Complete TX22 Competition upper assembly – Arrives fully assembled with the slide, 5.25" threaded bull barrel, recoil spring assembly, multi-footprint optic plate, and mounting screws, so you aren't sourcing parts one at a time.
• Barrel-mounted optic system – The optic plate mounts to the stationary barrel instead of the reciprocating slide, so your red dot stays fixed while the slide cycles and adds no weight to the slide.
• One multi-footprint optic plate, already installed – The kit comes with a single factory optic plate, already mounted, that's cut to accept multiple red dot footprints, including Trijicon RMR, Holosun 407C / 507C Series, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, Vortex Venom / Viper, Docter / Noblex, Burris FastFire, and C-More STS / STS2. It's one plate, not a set, and no additional plates are included, so confirm your optic's footprint before ordering.
• 5.25" threaded bull barrel – Heavy bull barrel in matte black with 1/2x28 muzzle threads. A thread protector is included to cover the threads when nothing is mounted.
• OD Green Cerakote slide – Ceramic-based coating applied for abrasion, chemical, and corrosion resistance. Over a black TX22 frame it gives the pistol a two-tone look.
• Adjustable sights – White-dot front sight and adjustable rear sight let you shoot the kit with or without an optic mounted.
• ShopTaurus.com exclusive, limited production run – The OD Green Cerakote slide is produced in a limited batch, and future batches aren't guaranteed once this one sells out.
• Taurus Limited Lifetime Warranty – Backed by the Taurus Limited Lifetime Warranty.

FAQ

Will the Taurus TX22 Competition Conversion Kit fit my TX22?

It fits standard full-size Taurus TX22 pistols and Taurus TX22 Competition pistols chambered in .22 LR. It does not fit Taurus TX22 Compact models. Please confirm which TX22 you own before ordering.

Does the conversion kit come with a frame, magazine, or red dot?

No. The kit includes the complete OD Green slide assembly, the 5.25-inch threaded bull barrel with thread protector, the recoil spring assembly, one multi-footprint optic plate (already installed), and mounting screws. The firearm frame and magazine are not included, and a red dot optic is not part of the kit.

Which red dots fit the Taurus TX22 Competition Conversion Kit?

The kit comes with one multi-footprint optic plate, already installed, that is cut to accept multiple red dot footprints, including Trijicon RMR, Holosun 407C / 507C Series, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, Vortex Venom / Viper, Docter / Noblex, Burris FastFire, and C-More STS / STS2. It is a single plate, not a set, and no additional plates are included. Check your optic's footprint with the optic manufacturer before ordering.

How do I install the TX22 Competition Conversion Kit?

The kit arrives as an assembled upper that goes onto a compatible TX22 frame in place of the factory slide assembly. First confirm the pistol is unloaded, then field-strip it following your Taurus TX22 owner's manual and verify proper function before live fire. If you have any question about installation, fit, or function, have a qualified gunsmith do the work.

What is the thread pitch on the barrel?

The 5.25-inch bull barrel is threaded 1/2x28, and a thread protector is included. Threaded barrels and muzzle devices, including suppressors, are regulated by federal, state, and local law, so confirm what is legal where you live before ordering.

What is the difference between the conversion kit and the stripped slide?

The conversion kit is a complete, assembled upper with the slide, barrel, recoil spring assembly, multi-footprint optic plate, and mounting screws. The Taurus TX22 Competition Stripped Slide Assembly in OD Green Cerakote (304-0006-03) is the same slide sold on its own as a completely stripped slide.
