Your opinion on Kidd Barrel

ms6852 · 09-14-2009, 08:52 PM

I bought a ss 10/22 at a pawnshop and am going to customize it with a Claude Gatewood stock. The Kidd barrels are 20% off now and am considering using that barrel. Would like to know your opinions on this barrel good and bad.

I haven't heard of Kidd barrels, but then again, I'm fairly new to 10/22 customizing. I just purchased my first - a Green Mountain SS Fluted 18". I really like it and it goes well with my stainless receiver and applejack colored Boyds stock. Others that were recommended to me when I was looking:

Tactical Solutions (lightweight)
Volquartsen (nothing but praise from everyone I spoke to)
Butler Creek
Adams and Bennett

By the way (hope you don't mind me asking) - Where did you find a pawn shop in San Antonio that didn't charge a rediculous price for a firearm? I've been in several lately and I see a lot of rusty junk with high price tags. I used to find my best deals in pawn shops, but not lately. I'd really like to find another good one to frequent.

All the best,
Glenn

It was in Universal City, a stainless steel on synthetic stock with the original steel trigger housing. Paid $189 , the trigger had been replace with a power custom, just got lucky.

The Kidd barrel is considered to be one of the best. There are a number of very good barrels. Differences are probably small. You can probably buy on price and personal preference.
