Where to find used trigger group for 10/22

[lewdogg21]

So I have an old 10/22 that doesn't fire more often than it does. I've guessed it down to light primer strikes so rather than keep monkeying around (in case it's not), I wanted to buy a new (used) trigger group. I remember them being like $30 and fairly abundant but recently I looked and they are now around $60 and hit and miss.

Where do you suggest I monitor for one? I have a forum account at rimfire central but where else?

Why not send what you've got to brimstone and get a decent trigger while it's being troubleshot?

I bought this 2 years ago to replace a jacked assembly...the reason got the rifle for $100. It has run flawlessly. Drop in and go.

If you're doing a full replacement, then the Ruger BX Trigger group is the most cost effective; 2-2 1/2 lbs, fairly crisp, direct drop in. https://grabagun.com/ruger-25.html

That said, light strikes are rarely caused by the trigger group. The most common problem, if the trigger used to work right, is carbon build-up in the chamber (carbon ring), which can be cured with a thorough chamber cleaning (not just a few passes with a bore brush or bore snake). I use bent 22LR rifle bore brush, bent so that the threaded end becomes the handle. Coat with Hoppes #9, Kroil, or whatever your favorite bore solvent is, and scrub the chamber from the breach thoroughly, then let it sit to allow the solvent to work. Then go back and scrub some more, then finish up cleaning the bore as usual.

You're basically getting rid of the carbon ring that keeps the round from seating fully, which doesn't allow the firing pin to provide a good impact tot he rim:

I scrub the chamber every few hundred rounds at the range to keep anything from building up.

- ^ Yup, scrub chamber
- Remove firing pin, clean pin, groove and spring
- Be sure the bolt face is not caked up with gunk.

I will try that. Thanks for the advice.
