I need some guidance in selecting a trigger or drop in trigger assembly.

I want one with no side to side slop. Also as little "creep" as possible, none is preferable. I would like it smooth and adjustable.

Am I asking for too much for the 10-22?

Go over to 'rimfirecentral.com'. You will find answers to just about anything regarding your 10-22.

I tried to register with rimfire central, They have not emailed me, sending the link that it takes to allow me to post.
They said they did, but I never got it. lI am logged in over there as "shuvel", same as here, but I am not allowed to post. If a member from here would make them aware of this I would appreciate it.
My Email is cajun7@bellsouth.net
Thanks again

You can send me your trigger group and I can get it down to 2.5# and very crisp.

I think this is what you are looking for.

Hawktech Arms also sells trigger kits from most of the main guys (PC, Volquartsen). I've bought several parts through them and I've always gotten them really fast. Plus if it requires something like an additional after-market part, they'll tell you.

Check out Kidd below. I just got one. I have not been to the range yet but I have only heard great things about them.

I've tried a bunch of triggers, from the DIY parts to the complete assembly (Jard). In my Opinion, the best bang for the buck is a rework by TT Shooter or Clark. Better than the DIY stuff and you don't need to mess w/ it. They're on par with the Volquartsen which is over 2x as much. If you need the best, Kid is it with the Jard close behind. All depends on what it's worth to you but don't think you can spend $ and get a $$$ result.

Thanks everyone. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions.

There is no better feeling than doing the trigger work your self though!!!

My thoughts exactly Izzy.

Shuvel,

No way bragging, but years ago I dropped the big bucks on my 10/22...

The Volquartsen Trigger Guard Assembly 2000



Volquartsen Trigger Guard Assembly 2000 Ruger 10/22 Black - MidwayUSA

Cost me more than the damn gun.

That said...not a 100% plus, cause can't let ANYBODY shoot this gun...lol

The trigger, too perfect,TOO LIGHT, and CRISP, zero over travel.
It took me time to learn to handle safely....
That said....Freaking love my choice!

Best guess, turned my gun 2-3x more accurate in my hands.


NO WAY SAYING BUY ONE....just sharing "MY DETAILS WITH MINE"

Others have posted good advice, for less cash!
So YET AGAIN, not pushing what I bought,just sharing

BlkHawk73

Tried the Vol one and it's a good thing I got mine at 1/2 price. For the same $ I can get a rework that's just as good if not better. Basically paying for the name on that one.

TMD

I have to side with IZZY. You can take a factory trigger (plastic or metal) and make it just as good as the store bought ones for virtually nothing but some time and effort. Of course anyone who drops more on a trigger than the gun will never admidt to this.

IZZY

Doing your own trigger work does come at a price though!!

I know after doing a few of my own, I ended up doing my Brother's, my Dad's, my buddy's, his Dad's & my Father in law's.
On second thought, maybe buying the parts would be better!

supereagle

shovel im a member of rfc i can walk you through it to make it 2.5

supereagle

sorry its shuvel i can help have built a lot of 10/22 s 1/4 groups at 100yds

shuvel

Thanks for offering. I just may attempt the trigger this coming week, I surely would appreciate any advice you will offer. Ive watched the ruger 1022 trigger job video 3 or 4 times (that fellow sure did a fine job on that video).

I guess whats in the back of my mind is the Kidd trigger. It really looks impressive but I've been fooled before (lotsa times)
I think I would want a single stage trigger as I've never shot a two stage trigger and I am wondering how the single stage kidd compares to the Volq.

I would guess a good do it yourself job wont have an adjustable trigger, Or could it???
You can email me at cajun7@bellsouth.net

Thanks a lot IZZY!!!!! Looks like some good tips

I don't know why i couldn't receive emails from Rimfire Central. Never had that problem before. I believe they are using the same software as this forum.

anyhow....Thanks again!

I would agree with Ghostt about the volquartsen TG2000. I did the mods at rfc on the trigger group of my SR22. I was happy with the results but it was still a plastic POS housing and although I dont mind plastic toilet seats, in firearms (to me) it has no place. The TG 2000 has worked flawlessly for several thousand rounds, might be a bit pricey but the pull is as low as I think you can safely go and its consistant and the product is well made.

BlkHawk73

Guess all those Glocks, HK's Sigs, XD's etc are all worthy of being recycled into a toilet seat also.

TMD

No wonder I'm a CRAPPY shot...

shuvel

Well, I went down to cabelas to pick up a trigger gauge, and while I was there I picked up the Power Customs sear/Hammer/etc kit.

When I got home I took the action apart and lo and behold....Ruger has "improved" the hammer the "improved" version doesn't use the little bushing/spacers, it is all one casted part.
Since it is spacerless the new Power custom piece I bought can be returned.

At the present I have it down to 4 1/2 lbs (from 6lbs). I'll call it quits for today and see if I can get some 4000 or 5000 grit lapping compound. Thanks for everyones help.

BlkHawk73

Kidd now makes a single stage and from all reports thus far it's as nice as the 2-stage.

Still don't understand the hype of the Volquartsen. Gotta be another case of people buying a name over everything else.

varoadking

Yes, indeed...I have two of them myself...good stuff...

I just put a trigger kit in my 10/22. Pre-travel adjustable hammer and sear kit from Power Customs as well as a new aluminum over travel adjustable trigger from Power Custom as well. They work GREAT together. All slack is taken out. Crisp 2.5 # pull. I purchased the kits through MIDWAY USA Hammer & Sear for $71.99 (part #949322) and overtravel adjusable trigger was $22.99 (part # 748474). I baught a E.R. Shaw blued bull barrel (.920") with bentz match chamber from MIDWAY USA for $100.00 and Hogue stock. Also purchaed an aluminum trigger housing from Tactical Innovations (Tactical Innovations Inc. - Idaho Official Website - Guns, Gear &) for $50.00. I get 1/4" to 1/2" groups (depending on weather) at 85 yards.

Bulldog is the 1/4 to 1/2 groups from bench OR Prone??

shuvel

I was able to sell the Power customs hammer/sear kit, by installing it in my son-in-laws 10-22. His factoryu was sent at 8lbs and its down to 3.25 he is happy with that. I probably can get it down more by polishing both hammer and sear.

I worked somemore on my rifle, I got it down to 3 1/2 lbs, but I don't like the feel of it. at this time I'm believing that when I get it to where I want it at 1 lb (more or less), It'll still feel sloppy. I might spring for the Kidd in the morning. Hell, its only money

Thanks, I check my spam folder every time I check my mail, because good email has ended up in my spam folder. The trash folder is stuff I have deleted only, but this also was checked since I was awaiting an email from rimfire central.
Do you know if there is a way to get in touch with an administrator, or have one get in touch with me???

Thanks again

Roy
