Question about Victor Titan and Kidd receivers

[Lawless]

Does the Titan rear tang option for Kidd receivers use the bolt visible just rear of the trigger in the stock to secure it? I assume the part in the stock comes out by removing the screw and then the Kidd receiver and tang are put into place and the action screw and rear tang screw are put back into place.

I could not seem to find a picture of it or video anywhere.

I have mine in an aluminum bed modified Tacticool but the cost of getting it inletted for the rear Kidd tang isn’t awful far from a new stock.

You are correct. The part comes out and the titan rear anchor bolts to action and then fits into the stock, the rear screw locks it in. Best 10-22 setup that is made IMO.

Our Titan 1022 stocks were designed for the Kidd with our Kidd Compatible rear anchor. The secret to this is you can torque the rear anchor (with the bolt behind the trigger guard) to give it just the right amount of tension and you will get insane groups. Every rifle/ammo is different but our rifles like it around 13 inch pounds of torque. Others have found they like more than 20!

Here are some pics to help understand how it works:

IMO, this is the best set up for a Kidd 10-22

@Michael Victor I know about the Titan and have considered it. I know it is a well made stock and have shot a rifle with one. Very stiff and I liked it in almost every way.

If I may be bold, the issue about it I do not like is the angle of the buttstock sloping down and not being parallel to the bore. I know it’s a small detail on a fine product and I’m a definitely picking nits. If I bought the stock, the tang, the rail for my bipod, I’d have $250+ in switching when I like my current stock and just want a rear tang.

If I were starting from scratch, I would go with it without thought.

Thank you for the post and for making a great product in a world of mediocrity.

Thank you Lawless for your honest feedback. Always appreciated.

As for the buttstock angle, I'm pretty sure it is 100% parallel to the bore. (If it's not, it's only very very slightly off) However in our pictures it may look like it slopes down due to the spherical distortion of the camera lens. Wide angle lenses bend long lines so they look curved in photos. We try to correct for it but some photos are worse than others.

Thank you Michael, it is rare that a company owner is as directly involved in online discussions as you. I own a business where customer service is the highest priority and I really appreciate your ethic. -Paul
