Here's one of mine. All KIDD, except for the stock -- an 18" LW barrel (Threaded), two-stage trigger, and scalloped bolt. All in a Ruger Walnut carbine stock heavily massaged by Evan Koch (ek-marlin-424). Evan also did the grip cap, and Chaser did his wonder-polish on the buttplate. It now wears a Leupold VX-2 6-18x40 AO Fine Duplex scope.

I have owned many KIDD and Ruger 10/22 builds over the years and currently stand at six -- four KIDD and two Ruger (though when I say Ruger it usually means receiver only, with a KIDD bolt and trigger). The only KIDD-only build I have is the one above. The reason for that? I have three very nice finger groove stocks that simply will not allow opening the barrel channel to accept a barrel greater in diameter than a traditional sporter. Just not enough wood there. If I have one gripe with KIDD is that they do not offer , and I believe never have offered, a sporter contour barrel. The closest is they're tapered stainless, but still too heavy.
