I work in the spindle industry....let me just say I was truly surprised to angular contact bearings. They roll awesomely. I wonder if there needs to be more preload than just gravity but thats what i do
It took some testing to get it where I wanted but thats the fun part

Neat Stuff - Wickedly Smooth Bearing Setup
This is an excellent way to break the standard KYL practice: solid build quality, slick bearings, and top-quality AR material. The target teeter-totters like a metronome when it's set up. The only suggestion during the installation of the components is to lightly lubricate the main shaft and gently tap (use a rubber mallet) the bearings onto the shaft to get them started. The edge of the shaft has an edge to overcome. The lubrication facilitates the bearings to slip into place.
Thanks for the feedback and tip. I checked my current inventory and they were difficult to get the bearings on. I changed the process to taper one end of the shaft and make assembly MUCH easier. Thanks again, with feedback like this I can make improvements instead of everyone just suffering through it!

Excellent
This is a very well made product. It is heavy duty. I'm expecting it to last a long time. It is a great addition to my shooting range at the farm.
I wasn't expecting to have to install the bearings on the shaft. It wasn't any issue for me but you should be aware of this detail. I assume most firearms enthusiast would have the skills to perform this task without issue. FYI I placed the shaft in the freezer over night and the bearings slide right in place without needing to be pressed.

Most fun rimfire target I've used.
Great design and quality materials. This is still very new to me but I'm sure it will be my favorite for a long time. Thanks!
