10/22 trigger upgrade questions

[arrowshooter]

I am also in the BX camp. I have two and both are a smooth 2.75# and a definite upgrade from factory. Plus you end up with a complete spare trigger group to fiddle around with.

I also have a Brimstone, but.........

Another perk to the BX is if you find a store that stocks them on the floor you can actually test the pull due to how Ruger made the packaging.

What is the easiest way to lighten trigger pull for 10/22?

1) remove sections of spring a little at a time?

2) Polish sear/ hammer surfaces? I don't really want to remove material much, just polish.

3) something else?

Also I saw this tandemkross kit which says lightens trigger. But cost is $125ish and I really don't want to spend that much. Certainly do. It want any of the expensive triggers out there.

This is for my hammerli b1 which uses 10/22 trigger. Thx for any help. I don't knwo
Much about these triggers.

There are a few options for triggers. As another person has said, the BX trigger is pretty good, I'd go with that.

I know you have gone a certain direction, but…

1) I have gone the BX22 trigger route on 2 10/22's, and am plenty happy with them both.

2) My brother used the Volquartsen hammer, and that trigger is NICE!

Just in case your current path doesn't quite work out for you.

I ended up ordering the Mcarbo spring kit for $12.95 (Labor Day code isn't working for some reason). They claim it reduces weight by half. We'll see how it goes. I put their spring kit in my Stribog .22 and weight is at 1lb 14 oz average.

How did you end up liking this kit? I'm torn between this and the BX.

I recently installed a BX trigger in my 10/22 and the difference is night and day. Its probably some of the biggest improvement per dollar spent I have ever done.

Should have bought a passel of the BX triggers way back when BiMart was closing them out.

$40 around 2016 or so...

Actually I assumed my hammerli b1 trigger was same design as 10/22 since it takes 10/22 triggers but it's totally different. So the Mcarbo springs don't fit.

I have two of the BX triggers. Definite improvement over the OEM. Each is a 3 pound trigger with a wee bit of creep. Super easy to install - basically a drop-in.

Late to this thread ...

Back in the days of Brimstone they actually preferred the polymer housings over the metal. They stated the tolerances were much better making it easier to get to the specs of their famous Tier 1 trigger.

I wish they were still in operation, this area could really use a.good smith.

I've used the big Volquartsen on a couple of my 10/22's and have been happy with the results. Very smooth and light. It's just disappointing that the little kit cost as much as a whole rifle use to cost.
