You can have the bolt face, faced off to reduce headspace to minimum. You can radius the corner of the bottom of the bolt such that it consumes less energy while cocking the hammer. You can smooth the recoil spring guide.
With most 10/22 barrels, there is nothing wrong with them, other than an extremely reliable, but inaccurate chamber.
I had several modified, and have been entirely pleased with them.
