Our two stage trigger weight is adjusted by turning the 1/16^th hex wrench in the rear of the trigger clockwise to increase the weight and counterclockwise to decrease the weight.  The top screw sets the weight on the 1^st stage; the bottom screw (#135) sets the weight on the 2^nd stage. When adjusting the weight, there is no need to adjust the .050 set screws on the side or the outer-rim slotted screw around the 1/16^th hex.  (See more instructions on the  page.)
 
Our single stage weight is adjustable via the plunger protruding out of the trigger guard in back of the trigger blade.  In order to access this plunger, the hammer must be up.  To
increase the weight turn the 1/16^th hex clockwise; this is a bit of a blind hole.  (See more instructions on the FQA-Videos-PDF page.)

Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of aluminum parts. Anodizing increases corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal.
      
Do I want a straight or curved trigger?

Two stage trigger: A curved trigger works with every type of stock and is highly recommended in a sporter style stock. A straight trigger is a great addition to a target stock with a pistol grip or the thumb hole style stock (benchrest, silhouette). The straight
trigger allows for a more natural placement of your trigger finger with the specified stocks.

Single Stage: has one trigger style and it comes in the same color as the trigger guard, we did a hybrid type style between curved and straight for this trigger blade.
      
Does the straight trigger come installed?

Two stage: Yes, we will install the straight trigger. If you already own a KIDD Trigger with a curved trigger, but desire a straight trigger, simply mail it to us and we can change it for $16.95 plus shipping.
      
Can I install the straight trigger myself?

Two stage: If your trigger was purchased in 2010 or later, you can probably do this yourself.
You must remove the trigger from the receiver so that you have a top down view. Pry out the main spring retainer, spring and strut from the top of the unit. Put the safety on so that the
hammer and sear don't become locked. With the hammer spring out of the way, you will be able to see two hex screws.  Loosen the 1/16th hex so that the trigger blade and dowel pin can be pulled back. Then put the new trigger blade in and do everything in reverse.
      
Why does the straight trigger cost extra?

Two stage:  The straight trigger blade cost more, because it is an added feature; we pay additional cost for the production of this product.
      
If I buy the KIDD Match Trigger today, when will it be shipped?

It will be shipped USPS Priority Mail signature required on the following business day.      

Two stage: Yes, you can order the KIDD Two-Stage Trigger with the magnum spring and make a note in the comments box at check out that the trigger will be dropped into a Volquartsen 17 HMR, and we will make the modification at no additional cost.
Single stage: Yes, there is no modification required.
  
Will the KIDD Match Trigger fit in a magnum rifle?

Two stage: Yes, the KIDD match trigger is a drop in unit without any modification. You will only need to purchase the magnum hammer spring. Single stage: Yes, there is no modification required.
  
Can I change the magazine lever myself?

Two stage and single stage: Yes, the magazine lever is a very simple change with our new interchangeable release system. It is as simple as turning a key. Watch the video on this page to help you. Click Here!

Yes, we guarantee all of our barrels will group a half an inch at fifty yards.
  
What length of barrels do you offer?

Our stainless steel rifle bull barrels come in 20 inches, 18 inches, and 16.5 inches, and our lightweight stainless steel rifle barrels come in 18 inches and 16.5 inches.  Our pistol barrels come in 10 inches and 6.5 inches.
  
How heavy are your barrels?
[20 inch � 3.5 lbs] [18 inch- 3.3 lbs][16.5 inch- 3.1 lbs] Subtract about four ounces if fluted.  Our 18 inch lightweight is 2 lbs and our 16.5 lightweight is about 1.14 lbs.
  
Does your 10 inch barrel come fluted?

No, we do not offer fluting for our 10 or our 6.5 inch barrels.
  
What is the difference between blued and ion bonded?

For our purposes, the bluing was not a strong enough coating on the bolt to withstand the movement.
  
Do flutes take away from accuracy?

Fluting adds a great deal of cool factor, but if ultimate accuracy is your goal, then stick with the standard bull barrel.
  
Is my barrel supposed to be difficult to install?

Yes, we set it up for a resistance fit. The following are the installation instructions:
First, make sure the receiver extension hole is clear of paint or debris. Start the barrel extension into the receiver getting the barrel dovetail cut lined up with the bottom of the receiver. If snug, apply some anti-seize compound to the extension of the barrel.  If the receiver will not slip onto the barrel with hand force, use a rubber mallet to lightly tap the rear of the receiver onto the barrel leaving it about a quarter inch out. Take great care in always keeping the barrel and receiver in line while installing. Finally, wrap some paper or cloth around the barrel and put it in a vice so that the dovetail of the barrel is facing up. Put a level across the dovetail and another level across the top of the receiver to make sure that both levels match. Then again lightly tap the back of the receiver to get the final seeding. Attach the v-block and screws, then tighten to snug about 10 inch pounds. Barrel and receiver should move as one and not as two pieces after installation is complete. By leveling the dovetail and the receiver, your extractor will be timed.
  
Are your barrels free floated?

We recommend free floating the barrel and bedding the receiver, if needed on a slip fit set up.
  
What if the barrel is touching the stock?

The barrel should not touch the stock in any way.
  
Is the KIDD logo on the barrel?

Yes, all of our KIDD Barrels have a KIDD logo on them.
  
When should I clean my barrel?

Clean the chamber more often than the bore. The accuracy of a .22 barrel follows a bell curve, so if it is too clean or too dirty, it isn't as accurate. Ammos make a bore"dirty" at varying rates so we don't have a hard and fast schedule to give you. However, run two magazines through the barrel when it is new or after cleaning,  to begin shooting a new type of ammo for fouling purposes. As the accuracy diminishes, clean it and then start again.

Bolt Questions

Yes, the firing pin and extractor are installed in the KIDD Bolt already.
  
Does the scalloped bolt help or take away from the accuracy?

No, it is strictly just for cosmetics.
  
Why do the black bolts cost more?

There is an additional cost because we pay an additional cost for the application on the Ion Bond.
  
What type of coating is on the black bolt?

We Ion Bond all of our bolts.
  
Will my bolt fit in a stock 10/22 receiver?

Yes, our bolt will drop in any 10/22 rifle.

The supergrade accepts a threaded barrel to the breach that should be purchased with the idea that it is not modular, due to the difficulty of threading a barrel. The classic accepts a slip fit barrel which makes it easier to switch barrels later on. With our new 2012 Receivers you now have the option to add a rear tang to your receiver adding another stability point to your action. 

No, we will only thread a KIDD Barrel to a KIDD Receiver.
  
Do I need the receiver pin kit when I buy a KIDD receiver?

No, our receiver is already countersunk to take our receiver pins. The kit is needed to countersink a Ruger receiver or clone so that the screw heads will be flush with the outside of the receiver. 

MOA stands for Minute of Angle. The MOA bases are only meant for the 2012 design of the KIDD Receivers. If you shoot from 25 to 50 yards the Zero MOA is the way to go. If you are shooting from 50 to 100 you should go with the 10 MOA and if you shoot 100 yard or more the 20 MOA will work the best for you. 

The rear tang is only for the new 2012 Design of the receiver. This tang addes another stability point to your action. The rear tang can be taken off at any time. If you purchase a tang there will be extra work that needs to be done to your stock. The rear of your stock will need to be inletted so the tang can drop in. KIDD does provide inletting services. 

Your complete KIDD Rifle will take about four weeks to ship depending on products in stock.
  
Why am I charged tax when I buy a complete KIDD rifle?

The 11% excise tax is a federal tax on all rifle manufacturers. You see the charge on our rifle because we do a semi-custom rifle and the tax is calculated on the cost of the rifle.

Your new Rifle will be ready to shoot. All you need is a box of bullets. Make sure you run two magazines through the barrel before looking for groups.
