I have put a "Q" tip in a cordless drill with a touch of Flitz to polish up a sticky chamber. No problems with my Kidd...

    Gunsmithing Rimfire smiths? bedding question, Ruger 77/22

    If it were me, I'd pillar it and bed the first inch or so of the barrel....let it float...ammo could be a factor if throws a flier here and there. Check takedown screw torque?

    10/22 bedding

    Frequently Asked Questions This is from the Kidd website, scroll down to the barrel section. Also, only 10lbs torque on the v-block screws.
