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)

Could just resharpen it when needed or just buy a KIDD receiver?
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.
Thanks, Nedsled :) - "we" won't be bedding anything;), the very thought terrifies me:D... I can see myself compromising and using tape, however.

...but one day that may change - I'm aware of the benefits, and strongly suspect that - in general - bedding is the only way to reach full accuracy potential for most rifles, but, by getting overall good results (.5 MOA with centerfire, and .7-1.0 MOA with rimfire) across my arsenal ;) I've been able to weasel out of learning how to do it so far.

Thanks again for the suggestion!:)

It IS terrifying the first time you apply epoxy to a firearm with a "hope" they will come apart the next day. But once I did it and it worked, it kind of became an obsession. I bed everything now. Scope rails, scope rings, stocks, etc.

Always thinking up stuff to bed. Maybe those water glasses are not perfectly flush with the countertops! Better break out the JB Weld.

Oh well, chalk up another generally useless expertise; the drying and flow characteristics of JB Weld.
I'd call the nice folks at Titan and see what they have to say.... can't hurt.
I recently purchased a Titan with the spike. I tried using the directions that came with it and got OK results. On the second try I set the 10/22 action screw torque first then tightened the spike to about 10 inch pounds and got best groups of 1/4" at 50 yards with SK Rifle Match. Good enough for me.
(Kidd 16.5" match barrel and Kidd 2 stage trigger group)
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.
Is it correct to say that you wouldn't use BOTH the Kidd anchor and the Spike? Basically Kidd anchor for a Kidd receiver; Spike anchor for any other receiver? @Michael Victor

Correct. Either one or the other. Not both
