Love the Kid products...on my 10/22, I just have a Kidd bolt and recoil buffer. I'll say both are excellent, and Tony's customer service is just amazing.
Does anyone know if the new recievers are going to be steel or Al? </div></div>
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: TexBone</div><div class="ubbcode-body">No sure what material but spoke with Mary on Friday and it will be a few more months before the receivers are available more purchase.... </div></div>
I spoke to Maripat (Kidd) this afternoon, and according to MariPat:
(1) The Kidd Receiver will only be offered in aluminum - Kidd does not plan to produce their receivers in CM or SS at all (I asked MariPat about this, and unfortunately it looks pet-in-stone for now. I did not debate her on the strength of steel versus aluminum for free-floating barrels as I felt that it would serve no purpose.
(2) The Kidd Receivers will have an integrated rear lug. MariPat said that the rear lug would be where the tang is on most rifles (like on the MOA Receiver). That seems to be the most logical and effective location
(3) The Kidd Receivers will have an integrated flat base (zero cant). I asked MariPat if Kidd was going to offer an integrated canted base, or if the Kidd Receiver would be offered with a standard Ruger top (without the integrated rail but drilled and tapped to accept Ruger or aftermarket Ruger 10/22 bases) and Maripat said "No". I told MariPat that a growing number of 10/22 shooters like to shoot to 200 yards and beyond, and that a canted base option would be a welcome feature or option but she seemed non-receptive to the idea.
(4) Initially, the Kidd Receiver will only be available in a complete rifle - the Receivers will not be sold separately until production ramps-up. These receivers while all have threaded barrels. The projected price of a complete rifle is $1,200.00. Projected timeframe is about 60 days.
(5) After the full rifles are in full production Kidd will also introduce a Kidd Receiver for slip-fit barrels.
(6) Kidd's projected price for the receivers is $650.00. But again, Kidd won't be selling the receivers separately until after the complete rifles have been introduced and are in full production. Once receiver production is ramped-up teh receivers will be a "stock" item for Kidd.
(7) The Kidd Bolt will be a design clone of the Ruger bolt, but will be CNC machined instead of cast. The firing pin will be pinned (like Kidd currently does on their tuned bolts, which are factory Ruger bolts anyway).
