bsa, I bought a Kidd barreled action when I put mine together. Barrel is a .920" bead blasted 18" match barrel with 1/2x28" thread.

You just can't defeat the darn thing. Run any ammo you want and it'll still make bugholes. Don't clean it. Same result. Throw a suppressor on the end. Same same.

Very dependable. They ain't cheap, but you get what you pay for.

If you bed the action and float the barrel like I had done to mine, and I know you can do yourself, you will be amazed. smile





Damn, that sounds great. My factory target barrel is so damn finicky it isn't even funny. It took trying about 15 different types of ammo to find what it likes. Now I have 2 kinds of ammo it really likes. I'll seriously consider the Kidd barrel down the road for sure. I know Kidd makes some good stuff for these 10-22's.

Jim, that looks like chit. I use the Volquartsen target hammer in my target model and it works great. Your trigger, however, doesn't look like it should have made it out the door.

Jim,

I received the VQ trigger kit and installed it today. The machining and finish was excellent on these parts.

That's good to hear. Volquartsen has always been affordable dependable upgrades. But when you contract out work you can loose QC if you don't stay on top of your contractors.

Very true! The pic of that VQ trigger you posted would certainly lose my trust. I'm glad VQ's QC appears to have improved. I'm a big KIDD fan when they produce parts that I need. Always quality stuff!
