Upgrade the guide rod and spring in the 10/22® bolt handle assembly
Includes guide rod
Interchangeable tuning springs: (white spring=standard, red spring =10% increase, no color=10% decrease)
Precision ground guide rod is made from hardened tool steel and held to 2/10,000" tolerance throughout its entire length. The rod is nitride treated which gives its surface a 70C rockwell (harder than a file) surface hardness. Guaranteed the smoothest and slickest guide rod in the industry. The three springs come in varying tensions for the ultimate modification. With this kit, KIDD provides a standard spring tension then includes, a 10% lighter and 10% heavier spring for tuning your cycling. We recommend that the KIDD Bolt Handle also be purchased with this kit in lieu of trying to cut the factory bolt assembly.
Packaging includes:
guide rod
three tuning springs

I bought two. One for my 10/22 and one for the take-down model.I put the regular strength spring in the take-down, WOW so much better I enjoyed it. I experimented and put the stronger spring in the 10/22 carbine. Three FTE, my using bulk federal ammo. Gonna change to the other spring. Fantastic products, also bought the extend release, and charging handles. Thank you KIDD these upgrades are gonna keep me at the ranges more.

Kidd parts are quality
Much of Ruger's factory original parts work, but can, and should be made to higher quality. the Kidd spring and rod are one perfect example. the ruger's handle is short, the rod is bent, painted and gritty, and the spring is cheap and unevenly compresses. the Kidd bolt is longer, the rod is smooth and perfectly straight, and the three included springs compress evenly. it not only makes for a smoother action mechanism, it allows me to feel every shot, giving me feedback on each round fired. I shoot about 500 rounds per week.

Target Shooter; 10/22 Hobbyist
The KIDD Guide rod really smoothed out the action. The ability to tune your action to your ammo is very nice also.Although I leave the subsonic spring in all the time. If I were to shoot CCI Stingers I might go up to the 10% extra power spring.

Wow
You don't realize how warped the old guide rod is until you take it out and look at it. I didn't buy the cocking handle so I cut the old rod and slipped the factory handle on the new rod. Works like a charm and wow the action is super smooth now.

Amazing.
The quality of this rod and spring kit just could not be better. You just cant know until you hold this guide rod and the factory one in your hand. The factory rod has a visible bow to it, while the Kidd rod is totally straight. The surface of the rod and spring is so smooth it moves silently with no oil, and collects hardly any powder residue even after hundreds of rounds. Install this and cycle the action a few times and you will know you made a great purchase.

Q:
I have the standard spring and get stove pipes with target/standard velocity. are the springs rated for the ammo?
Asked by:
Ralph
- 7/21/2016
A:
Hi Ralph, Thank you for your purchase. The standard spring should be good with your ammo. Perhaps there is something else causing the stove pipes. Why don't you give us a call at 830-557-5433 to discuss other options such as a temperamental magazine, dirty chamber, or checking the extractor.

Q:
what spring so a 10/22 will cycle?
Asked by:
Earl Bennett
- 2/27/2016
A:
Generally, the action will cycle with any of the three springs. The ability to tune the timing helps those customers on the outer edge of proper cycling due to the possible tolerance stacking issues in their action combined with the particular ammunition they are using. Good shooting! KIDD

Asked by:

A:
It is meant to assist with proper cycling and in that way can help accuracy, but it doesn't specifically help accuracy like a quality barrel would. Good shooting! KIDD

Q:
When reusing the factory cocking handle with a Kidd guide rod and Kidd replacement spring, should I reuse the small steel bead between the spring and handle- like on the factory assembly?
Asked by:
garney
- 4/14/2016
A:
I would recommend using our guide rod for the interchangeable system (of course right) but if you use the factory rod the bead will not need to be replaced if using our handle. Good shooting! KIDD

Asked by:
Mike
- 9/3/2018
A:
You will not need a clip to hold the spring onto the rod. It is kept in place when you drop it into the receiver with the bolt. Watch our video and this will help you with the install.

Q:
I got a bunch of your upgrades for my 10/22, great stuff. I have the spring set, I’m wondering about the ability to “tune” to the ammo through the springs, what are the data on tuning through the bolt springs? Is it simply that the lighter spring with faster ammo will slam around too much compared to a heavier spring? I know it might not cycle subsonic or maybe even standard with the heavier spring. I’m wondering about the overarching philosophy of use of spring tuning, this has been hard to research. I’m just trying to get my project ultimate nys 10/22 as good as I can get it, (pending a large order of standard velocity ammo.) Also if you have a recommendation/guidelines regarding the springs and different feet per second ammo. Thanks for your time.
Asked by:
Tim
- 3/3/2019
A:
The springs should be marked with a small amount of paint on them. The white springs comes in the tube with the guide rod already installed on it. There is one spring with no paint which is the one you can use with subsonic ammo and a red spring is recommended for high velocity ammo.
