The KIDD fluted stainless 10/22 barrel (brand part no. KIDD-22BRL-SS-F-18-BB-TC) is an 18-inch match bull barrel for the Ruger 10/22, bead blasted, fluted and threaded 1/2×28 with a thread cap installed. KIDD Innovative Design starts with a blank bored and rifled by Lothar Walther in Germany, then finishes and hand laps it in-house and cuts the chamber with a proprietary reamer for smooth feeding. KIDD guarantees half-inch five-shot groups at 50 yards, and its precision convex extractor slot keeps the extractor aligned with the case rim to head off the extraction problems that plague aftermarket rimfire barrels. The fluting is mostly cosmetic on a .22 rimfire, as KIDD says plainly, but the heavy bull contour steadies the rifle for repeatable aiming and the flutes give it a distinctive look. For a 10/22 headed toward rimfire matches or a suppressor, it is the barrel to build around.
