Description
Anyone who has pulled a barreled action out of a 10/22 stock knows the routine. Tip it the wrong way and the factory push pins slide right out, sending your trigger group tumbling toward the floor. KIDD Innovative Design put an end to that headache with a set of threaded receiver pins that thread a small screw into each end, locking everything down so the pins stay put no matter how you handle the rifle.
Beyond convenience, these pins are built slightly oversized compared to the factory pins, which tightens up the sloppy tolerance between the pin and the receiver holes. That snugger fit stabilizes the trigger guard and improves overall bedding stability, which is exactly what you want when you are chasing tighter groups on a precision build. The pins and screws are steel, and the whole design comes from Tony Kidd's shop, a name that carries serious weight in the 10/22 world.
Why the KIDD Receiver Pins Earn Their Spot
Installation does require a light countersink on the outside of the receiver pin holes so the screw heads sit below the surface of the receiver. That is where the included 82 degree countersink bit comes in. You slip the trigger guard into place, run the pin through with a screw already on one end, then thread the second screw on with the supplied hex wrench. A word from folks who have done it: keep those screws finger tight and skip the torque wrench, since they only need to seat against the taper.
Built for the Serious 10/22 Build
This is a favorite among competitive rimfire shooters and anyone assembling a custom rifle where every detail matters. It pairs naturally with KIDD triggers, receivers, and other upgrades, but works just as well on a standard 10/22 platform. If you are tired of babysitting loose pins during assembly, this kit solves that problem for good.
Installers report the pins go in without a fuss and leave the trigger group feeling genuinely secure once buttoned up. It is a small upgrade that punches above its weight for a serious build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the KIDD threaded receiver pins actually fix?
They stop the factory push pins from sliding out when you tip the barreled action to the side, which normally drops your trigger group. Each pin threads a screw into both ends so it stays locked in the receiver. They also run slightly oversized compared to stock pins, tightening the fit and stabilizing the trigger guard.
Do I have to modify my receiver to install these?
Yes, the install requires a light countersink on the outside of the receiver pin holes so the screw heads sit below the surface. The kit includes the 82 degree countersink bit you need to do it. Take your time and do not go too deep, since the screws need to seat against the taper to hold properly.
How tight should the screws be on the receiver pins?
Finger tight only. The screws just need to seat against the countersink taper, so there is no reason to crank down on them. Over-torquing does not add security and can cause problems, so leave the torque wrench in the drawer for this one.
Will these fit any 10/22, including older receivers?
They are designed for the Ruger 10/22 LR and standard 10/22-style receivers. Most builds accept them without issue after countersinking. Some vintage or non-standard aftermarket receivers can behave a little differently, so if you are working with an unusual receiver it is worth checking your dimensions before you drill.
