Could just resharpen it when needed or just buy a KIDD receiver?
Not an expert on the spike but do own a Titan.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!![]()
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.Thanks, Nedsled- "we" won't be bedding anything
, the very thought terrifies me
... 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 arsenalI've been able to weasel out of learning how to do it so far.
Thanks again for the suggestion!![]()
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 VictorWe'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.
Correct. Either one or the other. Not bothIs 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
