Finally upgraded the internals of my marauder 10/22 which essentially concludes this project, here is a highlight of everything I did including getting a kidd trigger to work with the stock correctly.
-Replaced the standard skeleton stock with a 6 position adjustable stock with a 3 position adjustable check rest.
-Pinned the stock and installed a Dlask 12.5" stepped bull barrel with an XB5 flash-hider. The stocks button is removable so I just placed a fitted wooden dowel in the button to lock it.
-Replaced the front hand-guard with an Aluminium Quad rail variant and used a metal take down pin rather than a bolt for tool less removal.
-changed the flat head take down screw with hex socketed version and assembled an Allen key set that fits in the pistol grip compartment, so you can completely disassemble the gun with tools found in the grip.
- assembled a micro cleaning kit which includes a bore snake, brass brush, nylon brush, cleaning cloth and a small spray bottle with a CLP type cleaner. All of which fits into the compartment in front of the butt stock (must remove stock when pinned).
-Installed a black Kidd bolt and Black Kidd single stage trigger (Slight filing of the trigger housing and marauder bolt catch plate needed). The auto bolt release does not work correctly when you use the marauder bolt catch plate, until you file a small bump in the top pin hole.
And for laughs here is an old pic of it all bubba’d out with a 20” barrel.
