Volquartson vs Kidd Barrels for 10/22

[powdergun]

Just wondering about these two types of barrels for an upgrade to my 10/22

i) Both seem to be around the same price point. Is one better than the other ?
ii) Any tips for where to get the best price from an online Canadian supplier ?
iii) Is it safe to assume ordering out the US is a big PITA ?

Thanks

I can put in a good word for IBI barrels, especially if you want a really accurate Canadian option.

Are they out of the US ? If so do they ship to Canada ?

Dlask sells Kidd, Sylvestre sells Volquartsen in Canada.
Not sure if who makes the most accurate barrel. My money went with Kidd, zero regrets.

I think volquartsen and Kidd use the same blanks

IBI in Chilliwack does 10/22 barrels too.

Kidd uses Lothar Walther barrel blanks.

Kidd uses Lothar Walther barrel blanks.

So does Volquartsen I think.

I had a VQ ultralite on an SBI receiver, swapped it for a kid ultralite. The Kidd had a better fit and finish, both shot great. Similar but each liked different brands. Neither liked SV. It’s pretty. It’s a toss up.
