RickT Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 I have the faulty bolt still in hand. Been too busy to send back to Kidd; they were more than willing to ship me a replacement bolt so no problem with Kidd. It's a complete mystery since both rifles work with one of the original bolts and the new bolt. Alien influence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg K Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Do you know what the difference was between the 2 Kidd bolts? Did Kidd indicate that they had made any change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickT Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 No evidence whatsoever that the bolts were different or had changed. The bolt I gave up on had seen 10's of thousands of rounds with no sign of wear whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBingheim Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Well no joy with the suspected hammer strut issue. I relieved some of the frame where the strut was making very minor contact. I also took a file to the relief hole that the strut protrudes from - it looked like the strut was maybe rubbing against the opening. The rifle was still experiencing the same malfunction. I swapped the Volquartsen trigger parts back in and it runs just fine. I'm not sure what else to do but reach out to KIDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
