Timney 10/22 Trigger

[Ruger Rick]

Anyone have experience with these triggers? Im looking to put in an aftermarket trigger on the 10/22, and some of the ones I looked at advise against using hyper velocity ammo.

The product description on these Timney triggers describe their metal parts as being coated with an advanced teflon nickel coating that resists wear. So does that mean I can use Hyper Velocity rounds such as CCI Stinger and Velocitor, without them destroying the trigger job?

Or should I just stay with the stock trigger?

My stepdad recently purchased one of these for his 10-22
It is installed, we have yet to launch lead with it installed yet

Both the hammer spring and the recoil spring help hold the bolt closed when fired.
The various triggers often use a softer hammer spring to reduce the trigger pull weight.
This can allow the breech to open too soon as there is not enough total spring pressure to keep it shut with the higher pressure rounds.

That said, the Timney drop in unit is really easy to install and has a great trigger pull.

I have one. It's pretty awesome and my groupings have really improved. Really easy to install as it's one piece.

I also bought it in green since it was 20 cheaper

Doubled something fierce at first. Had to get back in there and crank everything down nice and tight.

Thanks, fellas. I appreciate the feedback.

For the $$ vs results, I can't imagine it being better than the Clark Power Custom parts kit. http://www.clarkcustomguns.com/1022parts.htm#743

Put one on >5 years ago, happy as can be.

On my 10-22 I went with parts from Volquartsen
not a full drop in trigger group

I believe I did the hammer and sear Im might have done some other parts
^^ that route was cheaper than buying a full trigger group

though I can see the advantage to each in that the new 10-22 are using a polymer trigger group, you could swap out the polymer

I upgraded my trigger and did it my self. It is way better than stock and my groups are much tighter.

See, thats the thing. Clark's is one of the sites where they advise against using hyper velocity loads. The CCI Velocitor and Stinger are my 2 favorite loads.

How would you rate the ruggedness of the Clark trigger?

A co worker of mine said a trigger upgrade is probably the best upgrade to a 10/22 that I could do, sooo, here I am!

Nice!!!

I stoned and polished the stock hammer in my 10/22. Got it down to about 3.5 lbs. Feels lighter than that. That is the cheapest way to go.

If you can afford it, get the KIDD trigger. But, it's expensive.

They are grotesquely inaccurate in my 10/22. I get .8" or better 10 shot groups at 100 yards with Wolf Match Target, while 3+" groups with Stingers are the norm.



There were no caveats about what to shoot with the drop in kit (parts to replace in the group, no additional fitting required) I used. I have >3K of Wolf, ~1K of Aquila Golden Extra and ~100 rds each of Velocitor (CCI not the old stuff) and Stinger through the rifle since the trigger work.

HOWEVER, I would suggest that a hunting rifle should not have a trigger as light as a target/match rifle. I would never carry a centerfire rifle with a 2.5lb trigger in the field, I can't see as how a rimfire would be any different.

You can use high velocity loads with that drop-in group, just not hyper-velocity. I think the "tune the stock trigger" suggestion is quite a good one. Getting the grit out will make a huge difference, and still be safe in the field.

I've fired some 10/22 with custom triggers and boy were they nice. One guy did his own, and someone else dropped in an KIDD. However I'm not technical enough nor trust myself to do the install so I pussied out and bought the Timney.

Install took less than 10 minutes. Literally just popped it in and took out all the old parts. To me it feels great and I doubt my skill level would fully utilize the Kidd or other higher end triggers.

I have had so many 10-22's and have tried a lot of triggers in them. My very favorite is the Kidd that I have now. It is the 6oz 2 stage unit and it is absolutely safe and has shot just about every 22 ammo made with out any problems!
I have used the Timney and it is great. A very well made and durable unit that is very easy to install. Just not as precise as the Kidd.
Clarks are fine if you have the time and know how to put one together.
I am not a fan of Volquartsen triggers, I like most of their products but their trigger is over rated.
Another awesome trigger if you can ever find one is the old Jewell 10-22 bench rest trigger witch is not made anymore. I once had one that was tuned down to 4oz. And broke so sweet.
For durability I would go with the Timney or Kidd.
