Q:I want the most accurate barrel and what length barrel looking at 20” bead blasted I bench shoot ?
Asked by: Glenn guilliams
- 12/30/2020
A: We guarantee most of our barrels to group 1/2" at 50 yards. But when it comes to ultimate accuracy, I do recommend the 20" match bull over any of the others. The weight and harmonics of the barrel are superior.

Q:Could you tell us the type of threads that are lathed onto the end of the barrel with that option? Are they 1/2-28 or something similar? What is the length of the threads? Are they designed to accept the Ruger suppressor? Is there a flash hider commercially available that fits these threads? It looks like your KIDD items could help me build a really nice pack rat Terminator.
Asked by: Dan in Cle Elum, WA
- 7/8/2016
A: Thank you for your interest. The threads are 1/2"-28. The length is .4". This is a standard thread dimension so there should be plenty of options for suppressors, flash hiders, and muzzle brakes. Good shooting! KIDD
