Description
The KIDD Complete Bolt for the Ruger 10/22 is one of those upgrades that pays off every time you pull the trigger. It's machined from billet steel on CNC equipment, then properly headspaced and set with correct firing pin protrusion, so each round feeds the way it should and every primer strike lands the same. The result is cleaner ignition, fewer light strikes, and an action that just runs better than a bunch of stamped factory parts ever could.
What Sets the Scalloped Silver Bolt Apart
The scalloped cuts along the body are the obvious eye-catcher, and they give this version a distinct look that stands out against a factory 10/22. Beyond the styling, the surfaces are radiused and polished to cut down on friction as the bolt cycles, which makes for a noticeably smoother running action. The scalloped bolt tips the scale right around 6.4 ounces, and the whole thing is hardened for durability so it holds up round after round.
Dropping the KIDD 10/22 Bolt Into Your Build
This is a genuine drop-in part. It slides into any KIDD .22LR receiver without modification and works just as well as an upgrade in a factory 10/22-style receiver. The compatibility runs across the whole 10/22 family, including standard 10/22 rifles, the Charger, and Takedown models. If you're putting together a build or freshening up an old plinker, it goes in without gunsmithing or hand-fitting.
Why the Details on This Bolt Matter
KIDD builds these with a tool steel firing pin and extractor, a real step up from factory stampings. The firing pin is pinned to keep it from shifting, which is what gives you that consistent, repeatable primer strike people notice at the range. It ships ready to run with the firing pin and extractor already installed, so there's nothing to source or assemble before it goes into the rifle. For folks chasing better reliability and accuracy out of the 10/22 platform, this is a well-earned favorite.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the KIDD scalloped bolt drop into a factory Ruger 10/22?
Yes. It's designed as a straight drop-in upgrade for factory 10/22-style receivers as well as KIDD receivers, and it goes in without modification or hand-fitting. It fits across the 10/22 platform, including standard 10/22 rifles, the Charger, and Takedown models.
What comes installed on the bolt?
The bolt ships complete with KIDD's pinned firing pin and extractor already installed. There's nothing else to buy or assemble before it goes into your rifle, so it's ready to run right out of the package.
How is this bolt better than the factory Ruger part?
It's CNC-machined from billet steel with proper headspacing and correct firing pin protrusion, then radiused and polished for smoother cycling. The tool steel firing pin and extractor are a real upgrade over factory stampings, and the pinned firing pin delivers a more consistent primer strike for reliable ignition.
What's the difference between the scalloped and matte versions?
The scalloped bolt has machined cuts along the body that give it a distinct look and shave a touch of weight, coming in around 6.4 ounces versus roughly 6.5 for the matte. Functionally both are excellent, so it mostly comes down to the appearance you want for your build.
