1st time buyer of a kidd product & based on the features & quality of this barrel, won't be my last! - KIDD Innovative Design 10/22 20in Non-Fluted Match Stainless Steel Bull Barrel Bead Threaded And Capped

Unwrapped this barrel and my first impression was WOW and it got better from there. In addition to the beautiful and flawless blasted stainless barrel finish, the threaded barrel cap is amazingly attractive. A bonus that I was not aware of is the crown is recessed inside the barrel end. The barrel tenon is slightly oversized and even in diameter the entire length. The tight, even fit, assures there is no barrel droop and could probably do without the V-block, although it is good insurance to have it installed, you just won't need it to torque it to draw the barrel into place. I had to place the barrel in the freezer for a couple of days, heat up the Tactical Solutions X-ring receiver with a heat gun and tap the receiver onto the barrel with a rubber mallet.

I wasn't sure what trigger package I was going to use with my build? Well you guessed, I ordered a Kidd single stage trigger. Haven't shot this yet. As soon as the trigger arrives I will be heading to the range.

Thank you Optics Planet for having these items available and at a great price point.
