jbooker82 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I am currently in the process of building a 10/22. It is going to be all Tony Kidd parts. (www.coolguyguns.com). Black anodized single stage trigger, black anodized receiver with 0 MOA scope base, black scalloped bolt, Stocky's Eliminator Cobalt Blue laminated stock (might go for a black Hogue). The barrel is going to be a Kidd polished fluted threaded stainless steel barrel. I have been thinking about having it blackened. What are my options? I was thinking about going with a Black Nitride finish. It is a hot salt bath that actually makes the barrel surface harder which is suppose to preserve the hand lapped bore finish. H&M Metal Processing is who I was looking at having it done by. They said the barrel would be $100 bucks but they have a minimum order of $200. I though about sending the bolt in and having it done as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2otoofast4u Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Im not real up on the KIDD stuff. They have a reciever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo-Banshee Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 That's a lot of disposable money for a 10/22! Your better off with an ar platform and buy a .22 bolt.... I did see a cool 10/22 takedown in camo for $379 At a local sporting good store tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 AR's are gay Im a 10/22 freak but have yet to use any of the KIDD stuff. I did go look at their sight and looked at their recievers. The screw mount rail system is a joke. If you're going to build a NICE gun, start with a quality platform. Ive been using these guys http://www.tacticalinc.com/receivers-parts-c-774_606.html stuff for awhile now and have a couple rear charge handle and a side charge handle reciver of theirs and the rail is machined into the reciever, not bolted on. Im currently doing a couple recievers from their 80% setups. Ill post a few pics of those when Im done with one of the guns. Heres a picture of one of my rear charge handle setups from them. This one has a VQ trigger in it. I will be using a KIDD single stage in one of the next ones to compare side by side to the VQ stuff. On paper they are very similar both in performance and price.

jbooker82 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) That's a lot of disposable money for a 10/22! Your better off with an ar platform and buy a .22 bolt.... I did see a cool 10/22 takedown in camo for $379 At a local sporting good store tho! I had a T.D. on order and started buying hop up parts for it. It got to the point where the only thing I was going to be using was the Ruger reciever and barrel. It was talking a while to get in so I ended up calling and canceling the order. I figured that I had just as well get a reciver and a barrel and build it my self. I didnt really need a 22 that breaks in two.

Nice looking .22. I havent ever really had super nice 10/22. They have been run of the mill all stock rugers. I already ordered the reciever. I didnt really think about the machined on vs. bolt on rail. I will have to see how it goes. I am not going to be doing competions. Its going to end up being a way over kill plinking gun. That stock is pretty much the one I am getting only its going to be blue and not hollewed out behind the thumb hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad one ton Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have a quick question, not to hijack the thread or anything but have any of you heard if the scandium finish on the S&W's are worth a fuck? Im not really even sure what scandium is, but was looking at the S&W 386 XL hunter. TON! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 i need me a 10/22 the henry isnt cutting it anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hey oneton, the scandium is an alloy i believe kind of in the weight range of magnesium. My buddy is a serious 3 gun nut and he has a scandium frame revolver with titanium cylinder and it is unbelievably light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberneck Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 yep and most of that weight is probably the cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I got all my parts and put it together tonight. Looks pretty good. I am going to leave the barrel polished stainless. I will post up some pics once I get the scope mounted. I have a Nikon 3-9x40 Pro Staff Rimfire scope. Waiting on the rings. I went with low matte Warne Maxima Quick Detach Rings.
