Squirrel getter for the wife, from a factory carbine? I’d start with the above barrel, a spring pack from KIDD, bolt buffer, and a home trigger job. If silencers are out of the budget, a linear comp from Kaw Valley Precision should reduce some noise, then grab your belt sander and taper the bolt to remove a little excess mass. Lose that barrel band as well.
While not target grade ammo, Aguila Super Extra SV has always given me minute of squirrel head to 35 yards through nearly every .22 I’ve sampled it in and at a reasonable price. You’ll definitely want to try various ammo though, as differences most certainly exist.
I’ll add...rare are the times I’ve needed or taken shots beyond 30 yards for squirrels in more than 35 years of hunting them. As for head shots, some fellas from Tennessee will be along shortly asking why you’re shooting their favorite part of the squirrel, his brain. Not on my menu but they seem enamored with it.
