Avoiding barrel droop — our engineering
Barrel droop is prevented by precision fit. KIDD uses a resistance-fit mortise-and-tenon where the tenon is held uniform in diameter and slightly oversized for a tight, repeatable seat in the receiver. The shoulder between the .920" contour and the tenon is machined as a clean step (not a ramp) so the barrel sits flush and fully supported. When fitment is correct, the barrel resists tilt and long-term sag.
Installation & break-in tips
• Prep: Remove paint/debris from the receiver mortise before install. • Lubricate: Apply a light anti-seize compound to the tenon to ease installation. • Seat: Start the tenon into the mortise, align the extractor slot, then turn the rifle over and gently tap the rear of the receiver with a rubber mallet to seat. • V-blocks: V-block screws only need to be snug — about 10 in-lb — enough to prevent forward movement without distorting alignment. • Break-in: Run two magazines through the barrel before evaluating groups; repeat when you change ammunition brands. • Cleaning: Keep the chamber clean, but avoid excessive bore scrubbing. Typical bore-clean interval: ~500 rounds (varies by ammo).
