The Titan Spike is here finally!

Hello Gents,

We have just released our latest upgrade for our Titan 1022 Stock... the Titan Spike Anchor.

This simple device gives your Titan stock a second point of engagement to increase consistency and accuracy. It's very easy to install and with the supplied tools, you will be able to tune it for the best performance for your action.

The Spike actually presses down against the rear of the 10/22 receiver and holds it in place. You will need to play around with how much pressure to put on it but we have found 8-15 inch pounds works well.

One thing to keep in mind is the Spike is a SPIKE, so it will mark the back of your receiver. If you do not want a mark on the back of your receiver then don't use the SPIKE : )

If you receiver has a cleaning rod hole, the Spike will fit without a problem.

Here are some pics- let me know if you have questions or thoughts. I'm here to help!

Best,

Michael V.

(Btw- you can purchase it here: www.victorcompanyusa.com)

We've been getting great feedback on the Spikes. Solid accuracy increases.

If you don't have a Kidd or other way to lock down the back of the action, it's best to use a Titan Spike to hold it down.

It's super easy to install in a Titan, only takes a couple minutes.
Looks a lot easier than the rear hold that I made that indexes with the cleaning hole on my raptor stocks.

Won't it go blunt after a number of tear downs for cleaning.
I was kinda thinking along these lines.

I don't care that there is a divot in the receiver per se. But what would happen over time is that every time you take apart, to achieve the same tension upon reassembly, you are going to need to screw the spike in a hair farther.

Over time, the divot is going to get bigger and bigger until it potentially becomes detrimental.

Now, I think that is solid logic. The question is how many cycles would that take? 50 or 5000?

Would love to see a pic of where is marks the receiver at.
Good request- here is a pic of a Tac Sol X-Ring Receiver with a Spike mark...

Mr. Victor I really like the idea of the spike but i have ask if in your testing if you guys machined out a ledge where the spike made contact to the receiver? Something simple like just and dimple that would mate up with the spike for a cleaner look and more uniform contact? Simple enough that many of us could simply do with a small drill bit and chamfer a dimple made from light drilling?

Hi Downman74,

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking? I wouldn't suggest adding a ledge to the receiver if that's what you mean. The Spike's tip will simply find where it wants to make contact and hold there.

That does seem like a reasonable request but one must consider how many, how should I say, non-handy people are buying these. I can see the jig sliding into pilot hole with Bubba using his hand drill flopping all around. Then he's pissed because "why did you make me do that" For those of us that have done a lot of mods such as drilling, grinding, cutting or such should be able to make a small self quite easy. Dremel is your friend but only with a steady hand.

Hi everyone,

I've been running a Kidd bull and FTG in a Titan for a while, getting MOA groups, and after finding out - with some delay;) - about the spike anchor, I decided to get it and install it, to see if I can further improve the accuracy of my 10/22.

Mind you I started out with a clean Titan install - barrel perfectly centered - but, as I take the spike that final 1/2 turn I can see the barrel shifting to the left, to where it is almost in contact with the stock - it looks awful.

Because of the struggle the barreled receiver has been in and out of the stock several times, and the spike hits the back of the receiver in the same spot every time, with the spot, at least to the naked eye, perfectly centered on the receiver - widthwise.

I'm following instructions to the letter, btw. - how can this be defeated?..

TIA!:)

Not an expert on the spike but do own a Titan.

My guess is that your receiver and the shelf in the stock that the receiver rides on are not true to each other. Under normal (non-spike) conditions, this is not an issue for you. But with the spike, the receiver is being driven into more perfect contact with that shelf and that is causing the shift.

First: See what Victor has to say.

Second: If Victor's fix doesn't work (which seems doubtful, I am sure he's got a solution that WILL work) I'd bed that shelf area in the stock with some JB Weld, essentially making the shelf fit your receiver. But, that's just me, I have an addiction to JB Welding things. I defer to Victor.
