lgh Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hmmmm. I wonder if it accepts Kidd internals? I'll contact them to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egd5 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Why?? What's the advantage? Looks like just making it easier to get dirt/junk in the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 The advantages? I dislike cleaning guns but also realize that a clean gun is a happy gun. The days of running a gun until it fails is OK for plinkers but not for competitors. To pull out the 10/22 bolt, just slip back the top cover and pull the bolt without dropping the stock and the trigger assembly. (Yes, it does come with the removeable cover.) If you plan on shooting Steel Challenge, you will need to run a patch through the barrel every 500 rounds or so. I've not yet ordered one since I'm waiting to see what "upgrades" become available. Not sure the receiver has a hole for the cleaning rod but would like to see one available. Not in a hurry to build another gun but I do want the next gun to be the "right" gun.

egd5 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 OH, if it has a top that can be closed then yeah, that's a good idea. I couldn't tell that from the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdawgbeav Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) I'm going to be working on a couple of new builds over the winter and with how much I shoot RFRO and RFRI this might be an awesome solution. .22LR is dirty, no matter who makes it. After a couple of competitions the rifle needs a cleaning. I'd love to see what everyone thinks of this as the next step forward in the 10/22 market... https://www.fletcherrw.com/product/opentop-11-22/ https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2021/10/04/fletcher-rifleworks-11-22-opentop-review/ ETA: doesn't look like this will work with the Wiland chassis as the rail sticks out too far...
