Re: Green Mountain
I've tried five green mountain barrels. They seem to be hit and miss, but it really depends on what kind of accuracy you're looking for. At $199, I'd say that the Kidd barrel is a better deal because you're pretty much assured that it's going to shoot well.
The next thing I'd look to is the trigger. I've read a lot of posts regarding drop in upgrades or methods of modifying the existing trigger and some of them work pretty well and are an appreciable upgrade from stock; but if you want the absolute best 10/22 trigger, bar none, get the Kidd two stage. We've been using these on our builds and once you try one, you'll never want to shoot without it. It literally makes the Volquartsen look like a POS.
