KIDD Auto Bolt Release

Messing with the bolt mechanism on the Ruger 10/22 is a huge hassle and as far as I’m concerned a safety issue. My 14 year old who shoots junior rifle and has his own CZ 457 bolt action hates how it works which led me to research, albeit late to the party, to get a remedy. I chose to try KIDD and it was a very smart decision. After purchasing a new BX trigger I ordered an 1) auto bolt release, 2) bolt buffer, 3) extended mag release and 4) receiver pins. I installed all these items on the BX trigger and had it installed back on the stock in about 45 minutes taking my time. I am by no means a gunsmith. After everything was put back together we tested and my son and I cannot believe how much these items make a difference. Simple release of the bolt, quieter operation with the viton bolt buffer, very smooth operation of the extended mag release and the receiver pins don’t fall out with the KIDD ones. Now I’m thinking of getting the “KIDD Trigger Kit” and rehabbing the original trigger setup. Out of control the wife says.

Installed this in my factory trigger assy while making upgrades to my 50yo rifle almost solely due to the review comments at this site. I changed out the mag drop lever at the same time. Only recommendation I have is to not fumble the installation by losing control of the process and have almost all of the trigger mechanism parts fall out on the bench.

Quality product and fast shipping!

Great product! This is a huge improvement, over the stock bolt release. Just pull back and send the bolt home.

I had heard good things about Ruger, so I bought a 10 22. From the get go I was absolutely underwhelmed by the stock bolt release mechanism... Blindingly frustrating, trying to get that bolt to slide forward ..... I watched YouTube videos on how to remove the little plate, file the little valentine heart piece down etc, with no luck! I looked online, found that you guys had an after market plate that you said would do the trick. I am delighted with the result!! No more battling the bolt/bolt release tab etc .... I'd recommend this part to anyone! (I had called Ruger customer service to complain, they said they were aware of the problem, but the 10 22 was used by Boy Scouts etc, and they seemed to think that the mechanism as is, would be a good safety feature!) Good job Kidd!
