Mine is impacting the chassis at exactly 6 o’clock. It‘s well centered in the barrel channel, left to right.
Mine is just like the janitors. Planning on giving the guys at krg a call tomorrow and seeing if I missed something.
I've shimmed the plate above the action screw with a positive effect, etc.
I did the same thing. Big rub one direction, and good to go as in your picture. I can't figure a reason not to do it this way, since it works better.Just got mine in and put it together and the barrel was contacting the forend. Took it apart too see if I messed up how the spacer goes (it fell out off the groove when I was putting the action in) and flipped the removable spacer upside down. Now it clears fine, but I’m not sure that’s how it’s supposed to be. It seems like it’s sitting up out of the chassis too far. do you guys have it thick side up or thick side down?
@derek1ee How thick is your stock action block? Mine measures .201" and my .920" barrel is free floating with no contact between the action and barrel blocks. I do use a gunsmither block that eliminates barrel droop, which might have a slight impact.
If I place the action in the stock without the action block in place (so it's supported by the length of rail under the back half of the action), the barrel is a hairs width from touching the chassis at the front. So even with the stock action block, it's elevating the front of the action and the only other support is a single contact point (on each side) at the very back of the action.

Maybe, but now it is oriented as in your picture above. Is that the right way or the wrong way?I think the problem is your barreled action is tilting up too much.
Yeah, that's about where I'm at. It's floating nicely now that I've futzed with it, but I don't want to chase a stock and dump a bunch of money and time into this to make it functional. I'm debating just requesting a return/refund and buying something nicer. It stinks, because I want to love it so badly, particularly for the price point. But I imagine I may be further ahead to just drop the big money on a McMillan and be done with it.The plastic definitely needs to be sanded. It's sharp. I'm not willing to touch mine until I know I'm not gonna return it.

The only problem I am having is the 10 round magazines are not dropping out. I have to push them out from the ejection port, with very little effort. However I don't want to try and remove the stock to sand anything. So I am hoping in time the magazines will wear down the rough spot that is catching. which does not feel like much. Over all I feel lucky and got one that works. Hopefully the new butt stock comes out soon, it is way to short !!!
Is yours the classic Kidd or the newer supergrade?
If you don't mind me asking, what fitment issue did you run into on your stock ? I have a grey Krg Bravo arriving Monday, my build is all KIDD classic with the rear tang. Thanks for any information ! Jay
I added a shim to get 1/16" of clearance at the front, but now the rear of the receiver seems loose in the chassis. The increased angle of the action in the chassis must decrease contact at the rear. I hope the fix addresses the fact that the action isn't going to sit parallel in the chassis. I guess this is why the guys with a rear tang on the action aren't having issues.
I shimmed until there's 1/16" of barrel clearance at the front of the stock, not that I added a 1/16" shim. Sorry for not being more clearI think that's too much shim. In my experiments, I need 0.01~0.015 extra thickness. 1/16 is 6 times that.
Please send us an email with your information. We are working on this now and will send out a new part as soon as they are availableI got my Bravo and tried it with my two 10/22s:
Both barrels touch the aluminum chassis. I shot a couple of mags with my Supergrade, shook my head at the groups, and put it right back in my B&C stock. I was excited when I took note of the extra mounting plate because I thought, "Surely KRG included a thicker plate for folks like me." Nope. Both plates are the same size.
- Ruger receiver + 16.5" Kidd
- Kidd Supergrade + 20" Kidd
So now the Bravo goes on the shelf to gather dust. Nice concept but man...the execution here.
Is this part just going to angle the action/barrel up in the chassis?Please send us an email with your information. We are working on this now and will send out a new part as soon as they are available
Is this part just going to angle the action/barrel up in the chassis?
Yes, there will be a new mounting block that can be used to raise the front of the action. We have also seen some instances where the rear of the receiver is not a tight fit. We will also provide a solution to create a tighter rear fit for those that experience this.Is this part just going to angle the action/barrel up in the chassis?
Read some of this thread again and wonder if anyone is running a Gunsmither barrel retainer? They have fixed a huge number of barrel to stock contact issues. Not saying everyone one has the drop but if you haven't physically measure checked then you can't day you don't either. Even on a Kidd. Blastfamy, I know.
Do I have to ask for this separately?Yes, there will be a new mounting block that can be used to raise the front of the action. We have also seen some instances where the rear of the receiver is not a tight fit. We will also provide a solution to create a tighter rear fit for those that experience this.
No, we will send you both.Do I have to ask for this separately?
any pics of the pieces? mine hasn't arrived yetI received my new mounting block today. Problem solved. Thanks.
I put it together. I don’t feel like taking it apart. The kit consists of a thicker top mounting block and two shims. The shims are for a loose fitting receiver. I did not have that issue. I only had the barrel not free floating problem.I have been anxiously watching the usps tracking lol.
