You're going to love it. There's a few more so you'll probably get tired of them. The #1 mod would be to install a Kidd trigger, unreal. You can do the auto bolt release yourself and the bolt buffer. I have a video on that too but haven't loaded it yet. The trigger job is a must in my opinion.
You can keep up with demand one of two ways ... increase production capacity (more tooling, more employees and obviously more cost) or increase production with existing capacity (i.e. cutting small corners here and there by speeding up the production line). It's more profitable to opt for the 2nd option and as long as we keep buying them, they will keep producing that way.
mass production can be compared to watered down whiskey,,just isn't as good,,but I can't complain about any Ruger I've ever had.,,still yet it's good to know about things such as this bolt replacement.Good video
That's a good analogy. It's going to happen when they crank up the production line.They're all good rifles but can be made better. The differences in these two bolts were so obvious I had to show them.
The difference is $35.00 for a factory bolt and $ 120.00 for the KIDD bolt. Sure they’re better quality but you pay for it and functionally the differences are minimal at best.
Sir, thanks for the video! I ordered mine today for a back up/practice Steel Challenge rifle. Not the scalloped one, but I'm REALLY looking forward to getting this thing! Thanks again. Loved watching.
MyHollowpoint I used their Single Stage trigger kit last weekend in Steel Challenge, got 2 new qualifying scores and set a personal record on a string in "Smoke and Hope" at 1.80... this company is one I trust, and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of quality you're getting! Thanks again for the video!
+houseoffire72 You're going to love that trigger. I have one in one of these 10/22. All the KIDD products I have used are excellent. Thanks for watching.
It might be a little smoother, but if you don't do anything to the mating surface on the receiver, it's not going to make much of a difference. also, you should change the buffer pin if you want to quiet it down a bit.
@@MyHollowpoint Those threaded receiver pins are so handy. I’ve got the full kidd set up with a single stage trigger assembly. Definitely some of the highest quality aftermarket 10/22 parts around.
It looks really good .. If the time delay for getting a suppressor is any sign of what our government run healthcare is going to be like we are in real trouble!
Couldn't believe the difference. Staying healthy is wise for a young man like yourself but I doubt you'll do that. Best go ahead and sign up for Obamacare, it'll match your phone,lol. ;)
That surely is a well made bolt. It's videos like these that put your channel among the truly big ones! Congratulations on the 6,000 hump. I guess I won't be seeing you around my little channel anymore:)
For the bolt. Can we just spray paint it? Would it do any harm to the gun? I just don’t see the point on spending over a hundred on a bolt that is just different color or design.
That is a sweet 10/22. Looking forward to see it completed along with the suppressor. I didn't know you could use primer only though. I didn't think it would cycle unless you are planning on doing it manually. I was watching some of the Olympics [ biathlon ] last night and was impressed with their rifles as well. Probably high dollar.
MyHollowpoint Never heard of a short bolt. Will a 10/22 cycle primer only and shorts with this installed? Sounds like a neat setup. Almost be like having a suppressor. Thanks.
After seeing it on video, I will have to get one now but thinking about it, to get a true fit it would be better to get the KIDD receiver along with the KIDD bolt.
That's very true. Damn near didn't get the bolt put back in because the KIDD bolt is exact and the Ruger receiver isn't. The Kidd receiver is as finished as the bolt I'm sure.
Good looking bolt , looks well made. It's to bad these gun companies do "just enough" anymore, especially for prices we pay for their product. Looks great Chuck !
Man that sucks about the stock bolt you may have just got a bad one,the new bolt is a nice upgrade might do that to mine down the road.A year and still haven't got your suppressor dang that's gonna suck when I get one.
I think the FFL probably kited the money for about 4 months. We'll see. He lost a customer in any event.Rugers bolts have been pretty rough lately. Still run but I'm trying to get rid of as much noise as I can.
Everytime I disassemble it I do a little polishing on the inside of the receiver. The KIDD is just a great quality made bolt. I'll be shooting when that damn suppressor shows up.
If ruger put that much work into the bolt, Trigger assembly, Barrel, stock and sights you would not have any thing to complain about and nothing to do. and you would be broke trying to buy one. For the money you can't beat them and it keeps many other companies making accessories in buisness, we call this the American dream. enjoy.
Chuck have you checked out the Cabot line of 1911s all machined no hand fitting they start at 5000.00 on up? Maybe well machined guns are future of firearms !
I know what you mean. He must have the patience of Job. Every time I go into one I do a little smoothing with wet/dry sandpaper. I could never get them to look as good as his. Let us see the results :)
I was really disappointed by my Ruger 10/22 takedown quality--the stock looks like it came out of the mold with no finishing, the upper receiver (stainless) was scratched out of the box, and the bolt action was not smooth. It also has jams with the casing halfway out of the chamber and the next round hung on it with some ammo (I even changed the extractor to the Volquartsen brand with same problem). Very disappointed Ruger !
The machining looks like it was done in someone's garage. Some of the receivers are rough as a cobb. Could be part of your problem. That extractor doesn't have a great deal of room for error. If the bolt isn't running true. Volquarsen makes good stuff too.
You gotta do a trigger upgrade as well. The bolts definitely important, but the factory trigger ruger makes might be even more trash than the bolt. I mean it’s plastic for Gods sake.
When you buy a gun for a little over $200.00 you aren't going to get the kind of quality that you are expecting. You paid almost for that Kidd bolt as you did for the whole Ruger rifle.
"Thank God y'all didn't get to witness that!" 😆 Oh buddy, trust me, I feel your pain. I have a 10/22 target Lite and the tolerances are extremely unforgiving (likely due to poor machining on Rugers part), and getting that damn bolt in and out is the most infuriating thing I think I've ever experienced (and I've been shooting for over 30 years and have lots of guns in my collection - none of which give me any trouble, so it's not like I don't know my way around a gun). It just goes with the territory when you own a 10/22, sadly. Here are a couple of things that I've picked up along the way that I think may I help you: After removing the trigger group assembly and bolt stop pin, turn the rifle upside down over a table (preferably with a small soft towel underneath) and pull the charging handle to the rear as you normally would to remove the bolt and give it a gentle shake while using a spare finger from either hand to keep the guide rod straight while gently rocking the bolt back and forth with whatever fingers you have left until it finds its sweet spot and drops out (you might have to jiggle the charging handle a little bit). Alternatively (I prefer this method because it's easier), you can keep the receiver upside down to see what you're doing and then pull the bolt to the rear as you normally would, gently lift up just enough to allow the guy rod and charging handle to slide forward/home underneath it and this will remove the tension on it. Then just turn the receiver upside down as in step 1 and give the bolt a little wiggle and it should drop right out with ease. Getting it back in, unfortunately, isn't quite as easy, but I've found that after you retract the charging handle and guide rod assembly and are ready to drop the bolt back in (again making sure that you hold the guide rod straight with a spare finger to prevent it from cocking at an angle), try to drop it in flat rather than dropping it in at the rear and then tilting forward like that instructional videos always show (otherwise the bolt will almost never clear the rail inside of the receiver). With either your thumbs or whatever spare fingers feel most comfortable for you, gently rock the bolt back and forth while jiggling the charging handle until the bolt finally drops in. If needed, you can also take some fine grit sandpaper and smooth/chamfer the edges of that rail inside of the receiver to reduce hang-ups though with practice this is seldom necessary. I hope this helps, and congrats on that beautiful new Kidd bolt and guide rod assembly - I've actually got a set on order myself as we speak!👍🇺🇸
I wonder why there's always a shitstorm in the comments, nevertheless, good video, looking to build a target rifle and I'm now considering options, how did the bolt hold up?
I laugh because of my own struggles with getting my 1022 back together. You would have laughed along with me the first time I disassembled the trigger group. Long before there was any RUclips to turn to for enlightenment. Just the schematic in the owners' manual.
This one has a Kidd buffer in it. My next vid will show making the buffers for cheap.I'll have to check into the nylon, I made some out of 1/4" tubing and 1/8" steel rod.
MyHollowpoint Pretty bolt. You can buy a nylon bolt stop pin for around $11, or you can make a one yourself. RUclips search: "Cheap Ruger 1022 Mod: Nylon Bolt Buffer or Bolt Stop". Cost < $1. The nylon will quiet down your bolt considerably. Cheers
There appears to be a very big difference, Chuck!! Better send that up and let me shoot it for you... Just to get it broke in!! Oh and send ammo too!! ;-) Thanks Uncle Chuck!! ;-)
I wouldn't abuse her!.. Chuck!! She is built tough!! Part of the breaking in is to make sure that your beautiful rifle will function in all types of weather and temperature conditions!! ... ;-) No abuse.... just some good hard use!! I would oil her down good before I send her back!! ;-)
Nice, but at 2/3 the cost I paid for my entire 10/22, I’ll keep the factory bolt. Don’t have the ammo to shoot it anyway. Am thinking about one of those Kidd charging handles tho.
I paid $149 for it about 5 years ago. A 1979 model. Only thing I’ve done to it is clean it up and install the Tech-Sight SR 100 sights on it. The Kidd charging handle does look nice tho. Someday, I’ll actually find some ammo and get inspired to purchase the charging handle.
Thank you for sharing and the sub. Sometimes the sub process gets lost in the shuffle, from time to time I stumble on someone I coulda sworn I was subbed to :)
I deleted my prior comment and I hope you took no offense to it...Its a good thing that there are upgrades out there so you can make it the way you want!
This kidd bolt is more than my entire 10/22 it's nice but for the money it's just not there...but then again if your hands shake that bad you need all the help you can get...
Has anyone tried polishing the factory bolt, after you buy all aftermarket parts you could have bought three 10/22, 122 dollar bolt in a semiautomatic rifle just sounds like a waste of money you don’t gain any performance just looks and an empty wallet.
Depends if you value your time or not. If you value your own time at $0 per hour then the decision is completely different than if you value your time even at $10 or $20 an hour. I am not telling you what your time is worth, just consider the idea in your decision making
At 5:00 you are telling me about cuts "measured in thousandths"? Really? How about ten thousandths (.0001") What a slap in the face to Kidd, thinking he turns out crap like that. You have no clue about precision machining or its importance. Not a reference to the .042" headspace that a bench rest quality part is machined to. Thank God you do not do his PR work or advertising! ....end of factual rant.
Tactical Fred- I bought a 2nd stock 10/22, it's crap. Constantly jams, stovepipe and FTE's.. I was going to use it as a back up/practice rifle for Steel Challenge matches. I ordered a new bolt from KIDD about an hour ago. I KNOW it will fix the issues I'm having w it.
I bought a much older 10/22 second hand in a LGS for $180 mainly because I liked that it had a metal trigger housing and barrel band. My brother thought I was nuts since a new one is like $220. But the bolt in my old one doesn’t have all the casting and machining marks. I have vertical play in the firing pin but not side to side. Now I am wondering if the old ones were just made better or if this one had work done. I’d still like to get the firing pin pinned but otherwise is ok.
the choice is obvious, until you try assembling kidd parts in, and then see how their charging handles fit like fucking bullshit in your coffee cup. good luck on you cutting more than 1 to 2 decibles even with that kidd crap in your gun. want a precise 10-22, then buy one custom made in full, and pay for it. Or want a cheap 22 that works pretty dam good before you go tossing kidd shit in it. buy one at your local gunstore.
The Kidd is in one of my Rugers right now. I always have a hard time gunsmithing anyway but usually get it done. I checked into a custom build and it was $1600 with a 6 month wait. I'll pay but I'm not waiting 6 months for anything.
Good stuff. I just bought my first 10/22 so now I'm stuck watching your videos for life. LOL.
You're going to love it. There's a few more so you'll probably get tired of them. The #1 mod would be to install a Kidd trigger, unreal. You can do the auto bolt release yourself and the bolt buffer. I have a video on that too but haven't loaded it yet. The trigger job is a must in my opinion.

....and KIDD will make great money too! It must be good for the economy! Now it all makes sense:)

Just get a Teflon bolt stop pin. That's where most of the noise comes from suppressed. Bolt slamming open then slamming closed
I've put some buffered bolt stops in all my 10/22's , just haven't loaded the video's yet.
Good bit of info thanks for sharing..! just picked up a KIDD 2.5# single stage trigger. Next will be a bolt for sure then a bull barrel
+houseoffire72 You're going to love that trigger. I have one in one of these 10/22. All the KIDD products I have used are excellent. Thanks for watching.

Volquartsen makes great products also 👍
@@MyHollowpoint all billit CNC machined and with very slick DLC coating, round firing pin and sharp claw extractor... love mine.
One of the problems with mass production.Nice looking new bolt.
Very true. Their old models do not have this sloppy of work. Guess they're making them too fast now to keep up with demand.
This vid was a good part of my getting one of these for myself, thanks.
The Plinker's Lodge It’s just a better bolt 👍
@@MyHollowpoint Oh, and don't forget to order the handle at the same time (oops). I got the same one you show with the nice scroll work.

Primer only will have to be cycled by hand. Volquartsen makes a 10/22 short bolt. Toying with that idea too, already have their 10/22 short magazine.
MyHollowpoint Never heard of a short bolt. Will a 10/22 cycle primer only and shorts with this installed? Sounds like a neat setup. Almost be like having a suppressor. Thanks.
megajeeplover Have a look here: www.volquartsen.com/products/155-22-short-kit-for-10-22. Don't know if it will cycle a hot primer only round.
That's a well made bolt! I'll keep that one in mind when I start upgrading my 10/22!!
Thank you. I chose this one because my experiences with Kidd products have shown them to be quality products.
Like the finished product.I have the scalloping on my Winchester model 70 bolt
It's a better bolt by far and adds a little bling. A little bling makes ya feel younger :)
I'm happy for you young fellar
Just looking at it, you can see the difference in quality. Nice upgrade Chuck
With Ruger it just shouldn't be so obvious. They should try harder :)

i the jeweled look too! never seen one done for a 22lr.
This one is deeper than a jeweled and should last forever as much as I shoot :) You can really see the difference in the quality.
send this vid to Ruger!
Gee like night and day. Thank you for the video.
They really are. Surprised me,. I never gave it much thought till I saw the difference.
Good looking bolt , looks well made. It's to bad these gun companies do "just enough" anymore, especially for prices we pay for their product. Looks great Chuck !
Couldn't believe the difference till I went to change it out. Downright sloppy work by Ruger. Didn't expect the difference to be that great.
Man that sucks about the stock bolt you may have just got a bad one,the new bolt is a nice upgrade might do that to mine down the road.A year and still haven't got your suppressor dang that's gonna suck when I get one.

That scallop edging looks great.
Can't wait to hear it at the range.

Everytime I disassemble it I do a little polishing on the inside of the receiver. The KIDD is just a great quality made bolt. I'll be shooting when that damn suppressor shows up.
Im right there with you, On the 20th i will have been waiting 10 months
I blame most of my problems on the FFL. The wait is just too long. It's just a novelty item for gawds sake :)
Yes , its a $200 permission slip
If ruger put that much work into the bolt, Trigger assembly, Barrel, stock and sights you would not have any thing to complain about and nothing to do. and you would be broke trying to buy one. For the money you can't beat them and it keeps many other companies making accessories in buisness, we call this the American dream. enjoy.
Very true and it gives me something to do :)
Chuck have you checked out the Cabot line of 1911s all machined no hand fitting they start at 5000.00 on up? Maybe well machined guns are future of firearms !
I've drooled over them but the practical side of me just won't let me "pull the trigger". :)
I agree I will stick with my Kimbers for now.
Great bolt review uncle Chuck. The Kidd products offer a quality part way above the oem. All you need now is subsonic ammo and you are good to go.
Thanks Nick. I've got 1500 rounds of primer only coming next week. Couldn't believe I actually found some online.
★★★★★
Nice comparison Chuck! That 10/22 is looking GOOOOOD!
Didn't realize what a difference there was till I went to install the Kidd. My older 10/22 has a much better bolt. Haste makes waste.
Thank you for this video
You're more than welcome. It'll be easy for you if you have steady hands :)
Nice job Chuck Sunday Blessings to you and the family
Thank you and the same to you and yours.
Great info thanks for sharing sir.
Thank you. Didn't expect to see that much of a difference when I went to make the switch. Like day and night.
Im sure that will make a big difference in your gun. Quality part for sure.
Like day and night. I've yet to get anything from Kidd that wasn't top shelf quality.
I've noticed the same thing on my 10/22. Think I'm going to go all djalkaline1 style and polish the shit out of it.

yup - we should get better quality out of the box.
How does it shoot?
It shoots just fine. Don't really notice a drastic change.

+ely336 Yes. If you scan through my miscellaneous playlist located on my home page you'll see many videos.
You gotta do a trigger upgrade as well. The bolts definitely important, but the factory trigger ruger makes might be even more trash than the bolt. I mean it’s plastic for Gods sake.
I've replaced every trigger on every Ruger 10/22 I own.
Nice looking bolt. Quality
Thank you. You can even see the difference at 480, I should have loaded in HD but that's a 3 hour process with DSL :)
When you buy a gun for a little over $200.00 you aren't going to get the kind of quality that you are expecting. You paid almost for that Kidd bolt as you did for the whole Ruger rifle.
It's a nice option for those that don't mind paying it.

Thanks for the info, at some point I probably did those steps but after "wrestling that pig" how can I remember, lol. :)
good info
Still can't believe the obvious difference between poor and very good :)
Ruger could put in a kidd bolt in their rifles but it would double the price. Moving the cost out of the mainstream of 10/22 buyers.
True. But it's an option for people that can afford it.
I wonder why there's always a shitstorm in the comments, nevertheless, good video, looking to build a target rifle and I'm now considering options, how did the bolt hold up?
The bolt is still doing fine. I liked it because it wasn't a plain jane looking bolt.
Bah, ha, ha!!! "Thank God y'all didn't get to witness that!"
Nothings easy around here :)
I laugh because of my own struggles with getting my 1022 back together. You would have laughed along with me the first time I disassembled the trigger group. Long before there was any RUclips to turn to for enlightenment. Just the schematic in the owners' manual.
I struggled all along but learned a lot :)
A bolt buffer will quiet it down more than a new bolt . I make mine out of nylon 1/4" bolts.
This one has a Kidd buffer in it. My next vid will show making the buffers for cheap.I'll have to check into the nylon, I made some out of 1/4" tubing and 1/8" steel rod.

There appears to be a very big difference, Chuck!! Better send that up and let me shoot it for you... Just to get it broke in!! Oh and send ammo too!! ;-) Thanks Uncle Chuck!! ;-)
Would you take good care of it or make it live in the cold? I'm thinking you would abuse it and like me, it's too handsome for abuse :)

Nice, but at 2/3 the cost I paid for my entire 10/22, I’ll keep the factory bolt. Don’t have the ammo to shoot it anyway. Am thinking about one of those Kidd charging handles tho.
Then you got your rifle at a steal! I've got ammo but don't have the damn suppressor! You'll like the handle, it's easy on the pinky :)

Ok I don't know how I haven't subbed you b4 now your in my Gplus circles. Any way subbed ya now.
Thank you for sharing and the sub. Sometimes the sub process gets lost in the shuffle, from time to time I stumble on someone I coulda sworn I was subbed to :)
I deleted my prior comment and I hope you took no offense to it...Its a good thing that there are upgrades out there so you can make it the way you want!
I'm still pissed,lmao :)
Kidd 👍🏻
I'd say it's more indication for gumbo! Get to shooting!
.....and they're better than dove...I'm told :)
What do you expect for a 200 dollar rifle 😊
A good rifle and I just made it a better rifle. :)
dam im getting sea sick
You gotta be tough to ride on this boat ;)
So, what your saying is, it's like a glock.
Sloppy but works great.
It's better than a Glock but not by much :)
Glocktards.
Putting their arguments in all the wrong places.
Sloppy stamped gun that works. Unless you have mine.
Lol!
Why did buy a ruger for? To compare a forged bolt to a cnc bolt, time is money! Buy all parts and stop comparing apples to bowling balls!
Fiddling with stock parts ie: triggers, bolts, springs is fun.
Yes I agree
amigo cuanto vale ese rifle
It's a Ruger 10/22, I use it at night when an armadillo starts tearing up the lawn :)
This kidd bolt is more than my entire 10/22 it's nice but for the money it's just not there...but then again if your hands shake that bad you need all the help you can get...
True.
Rex. You can buy a 10/22 for $100? In what world are you living in?
@@mitchelltstrains4799 big 5 has good sales here and there and picked my up from the display when store moved to a new location...
Has anyone tried polishing the factory bolt, after you buy all aftermarket parts you could have bought three 10/22, 122 dollar bolt in a semiautomatic rifle just sounds like a waste of money you don’t gain any performance just looks and an empty wallet.
I just like fiddling with them.
Depends if you value your time or not. If you value your own time at $0 per hour then the decision is completely different than if you value your time even at $10 or $20 an hour.
I am not telling you what your time is worth, just consider the idea in your decision making
At 5:00 you are telling me about cuts "measured in thousandths"? Really? How about
ten thousandths (.0001") What a slap in the face to Kidd, thinking he turns out crap
like that. You have no clue about precision machining or its importance. Not a reference
to the .042" headspace that a bench rest quality part is machined to. Thank God you
do not do his PR work or advertising! ....end of factual rant.
I'm a layman not an engineer, try to get over it.
Shiny
Shiny things fascinate you?lol. :)
MyHollowpoint If shiny things fascinate her, she oughta be absolutely awe struck if she ever saw my head without my cap... lol
Just looking at this vid makes me nervous. I hope you shoot better than you point.
+Charles Stokes I don't. Can't hit the broadside of a barn. Don't waste your time.
there's a guy at my club who's hands shake like that. he wins most of the pistol shoots
what is the point of this comment, mr. stokes.
@@MyHollowpoint That is uncalled for ! He may have had a TIA or a mini stroke . The video was very informative and helped me a lot as well as others.
It's an essential tremor I've had since I was 17, glad you liked the video.
You are basically comparing a $250 rifle to a $1050. The bolt alone cost almost half what a new Ruger rifle will cost
Tactical Fred Yep. I get a lot of aftermarket parts for these things.
Tactical Fred- I bought a 2nd stock 10/22, it's crap. Constantly jams, stovepipe and FTE's.. I was going to use it as a back up/practice rifle for Steel Challenge matches. I ordered a new bolt from KIDD about an hour ago. I KNOW it will fix the issues I'm having w it.
I bought a much older 10/22 second hand in a LGS for $180 mainly because I liked that it had a metal trigger housing and barrel band. My brother thought I was nuts since a new one is like $220. But the bolt in my old one doesn’t have all the casting and machining marks. I have vertical play in the firing pin but not side to side. Now I am wondering if the old ones were just made better or if this one had work done. I’d still like to get the firing pin pinned but otherwise is ok.
Stop juggling the bolt around
I quit 4 years ago.
the choice is obvious, until you try assembling kidd parts in, and then see how their charging handles fit like fucking bullshit in your coffee cup. good luck on you cutting more than 1 to 2 decibles even with that kidd crap in your gun. want a precise 10-22, then buy one custom made in full, and pay for it. Or want a cheap 22 that works pretty dam good before you go tossing kidd shit in it. buy one at your local gunstore.
The Kidd is in one of my Rugers right now. I always have a hard time gunsmithing anyway but usually get it done. I checked into a custom build and it was $1600 with a 6 month wait. I'll pay but I'm not waiting 6 months for anything.
Stop shacking.
Learn to spell.
How much is this bolt and will it fit the 10/22 takedown? I made some minor upgrades to mine and I saw this exact roughness on my bolt.
It was $99.95 I believe. It's a great bolt and the quality is obvious.
A little pricey but looks beautiful. I hope it does fit a 10/22 takedown.
Doce Mendoza It'll fit any Ruger 10/22.
