Lighten up my 10/22 trigger pull

[biggyfan1]

How can i lighten my trigger pull? im happy with the gun and the only thing i would change right now would be the trigger pull. I have an after market trigger but its just a drop in trigger just to replace the older one. Can i do the trigger work at home or is it just simply just buys parts and installing?

for me the trick was changing out the hammer not the trigger. i cant remember if i bought a power custom or VQ hammer but its an easy cheap fix. you should change out the mag release and bolt release too. its all the same place and pins. rimfirecentral.com has a ton of info that helped me

VQ has some great hammers. They advertise about a 2 lb trigger pull. Many shooters report getting a bit less than 2 lbs after it settles in. I bought one to install in my carbine project to get rid of the stoopid 9 lb trigger. I ended up stoning the stock hammer some to get about a 4 lb trigger which is great for hunting squirrels. Then I installed the VQ hammer into my Target model for Appleseed shooting. I recommend getting that and a VQ extractor, along with a Kidd buffer pin, and a Kidd guide rod and spring.

After that you will have a sweet smooth virtually jam free machine.

VQ is over priced. i run power custom parts and have a sub 2lb pull.

Look at hornet products. Sure they aren't as popular, but operate just the same as the spendy name brands. I got an entire assembly for under 70 bucks shipped for a 2lb pull setup.

I like hornet stuff - smoothing out, buffing metal using a dremel worked wonders for me. off course that was after reading up here and rimfirecentral. check youtube as well. good luck

I got the hammer and the difference was remarkable in an otherwise stock gun. An easy installation. Only other mod is a nylon bolt-stop pin and a different front sight (OEM was broken in a drop).

I replace most of the internals with the kit from Power Custom. Great quality, easy to install and affordable.

Stone the factory hammer. This means polishing and widening the notch that the sear locks into. You can get a great trigger out of the factory parts if you polish them to a mirrored finish and do it right.

My buddy came to my house last nite with a new 10/22. Showed him how to strip it etc.
Installed his new Hornet Product's "Plinker Special" trigger assembly.

It was pretty Nice. 3 1/2lb trigger pull. Alittle take up with ZERO overtravel.
He paid $86 shipped.

On a side note, I sent my trigger assy to Dan Brown yesterday. Should have it back sometime next week. $90 w/ Return shipping.
