Kidd Match barrels

[Brocolt]

I'm looking for a Kidd Match barrel anyone know any dealers who have them in stock?

 

[Thumper69]

Dlask.

 

[Brocolt]

out of stock, need a barrel in stock from somewhere in Canada

Fabsports carries them, but nothing showing in stock right now. Maybe if you contact them they can tell you expected re-stock.

fabsport use to get stuff in monthly where Dlask always seems to be sporadic at best.

 

[Brocolt]

wayupnorth Do you think the Dlask Target Chamber barrel can do under 1/2" at 50 yards with good ammo? I know Kidd can.

 

[Thumper69]

JoBrooks sometimes gets Kidd stuff.

 

[HeliMD]

The dlask barrel are capable of 1/2 inch at 50. They are heavy but a great quality barrel.
Also give mystic precision a shout he has Mc Gowen barrels in Stock most of the time.

Talked to Dlask they placed an order for some Kidd match barrels and will be here in about 3-4 weeks

Ordered my Kidd MATCH barrel tonight, it's going on the TacSol X-Ring, this better shoot 1/4" groups @ 50yds or it's getting the EE

Make sure the barrel/receiver fit is tight. Better be darn sure before you start sanding anything. I believe a good receiver/barrel fitment is critical in all 10/22 rigs

if it's not the first thing to go is the X-Ring

i had a good talk with Joe from Dlask a couple years back and that was the #1 thing he said to me.
if the barrel isn't tight in there its no good.

Putting the barrel in the freezer works very well if it's too tight.you can also use a heat gun on the receiver but I didn't have to. I just froze the barrel and gently tapped it in. Much better than sanding.

if it doesn't fit. I'm not sanding it. I'll just buy another receiver

Not sure you understand. Tighter is better. If it absolutely doesn't fit its okay to sand it. Generally you want to heat the receiver and cool the barrel. You may have to beat that suck pretty good to get it to fit.

I fit a McGowen barrel on a Dlask receiver with no sanding. I later got a Kidd UL and tried to fit it without sanding. There wasn't anyway that it would fit. I had no choice but to sand it. I had the barrel in the freezer and the receiver in the oven at 200F.The Kidd barrel shank is a little oversized so that you get a tight fit. Having to sand is a good thing. The trick is absolutely minimal sanding and make sure its friggin tight.

yes I understand, I have read reviews & seen KiDD install videos also I'm not a fan of hitting the crown to install. also the other trick is to sand it even all around so it's not lopsided

Please let us know how it shoots. I am seriously considering a similar upgrade.

Tap the back of the receiver instead of the crown. Just make sure it's a rubber mallet
