Hello fellow CGNs,
I wanted to do a bit of a review on the Kidd 10/22 trigger kit. I purchased one about a year ago from Jo Brook. The kit cost ~135$ before shipping. I admit it was hard spending half the value of a 10/22 on a trigger kit but I figured it was worth a try. Hopefully this will give a little information to anyone thinking about purchasing one of these kits. Since the time of purchase I have put maybe 1500rds though it.
The kit is simply a new hammer and sear. The have a very interesting notch design that is notably different from the factory design. Installation is pretty straight forward. Anyone capable of disassembling the trigger group will have not problem installing one of these kits.
The quality of the trigger pull is pretty darned good. I would estimate that I advertised 1.75lbs pull weight is pretty close. Its a bit lighter than the accutrigger on my savage. I admittedly do not have a lot of experience with high quality triggers so it is tough for me to give a good representation. There is a little bit of movement before the trigger breaks (like a 2-stage). The trigger break itself is crisp and clean. There is a moderate amount of reset.
How does the trigger compare to high end match grade triggers? I do not know. Is it an improvement over the factory trigger? I would say its an absolute night and day comparison. I am still thoroughly impressed with it.
Reliability was a concern when I bought it. I had read Jeff Quinn's article "Building the Perfect Semi-Automatic Rifle" and he had kept the factory Ruger trigger group. This was a result of a bad experience he had with an aftermarket trigger group where it failed to reset after every round. I have not had a single issue with the Kidd trigger kit to date (knock on wood).
Well I think that about covers it. Your mileage may vary.
