10/22 trigger won't reset

[owenriquez]

I replaced the hammer on my 10/22, when i put it back together the trigger won't reset by itself. meaning, when I hold the trigger and pull back the bolt, the trigger won't engage not 'til i push it forward. What have i done wrong? Did tried to disassemble and assembled a couple of times but no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated

I called STRUM RUGER today (5-9-12) to order the parts i need, I spoke with the lady and said she will ship the parts for FREE

A Volquartsen hammer? Did you use a new spring or the factory spring?

Did you make sure to have the safety reset before putting the trigger assembly back together??

Push down on the safety and reset it, from what I remember I had to go back because of the same issue and start over.

watch a youtube video on how to re-assemble the trigger or do a trigger job etc. I am having a hard time just understanding what your problem is. I have taken them apart many times and they is a little learning curve, but they are not that complicated. Perhaps you do not have one of the springs in correctly. Why would you hold the trigger and pull back the bolt? Trigger won't engage until I push it forward? Why would you push forward the trigger? Guess I am not understanding your problem?

I think someone else had this problem and they had mixed up the trigger return spring and the disconnector spring(i think disconnector is the right name).

Is the c clip facing up?

holding the trigger before pulling back the bolt will make sure that the trigger will reset for the follow up shot. And yes i did watch you tube (very informative) but i'm thinking of buying the B-24, B-39 and B-40 if things are still the same. Thanks

you got me, what is a "C" clip? was it the B-45?
Thanks

The c-clip is the hammer spring retainer. Should be facing up. Honestly I doubt that is the problem. But might as well make sure everything is right.

I'll check it out, yes B-45 was the "C" on the spring

Disconnector / sear spring in wrong or wrong spring.
Triger return spring to weak / plunger in wrong or binding.

Now, if the problem is that the hammer won't catch on the sear and you are 100% sure everything else is correct, another poster here recently had this kind of problem and Volks replaced some parts for him.

just an update, by watching this link on YOUTUBE (RUGER 10/22 trigger work fix), maybe my problem will be corrected.
I thank you brothers of Calguns for any input you gave... again THANK YOU so much

UPDATE
Parts from Strum Ruger came in yesterday (05-12-12), did all the suggestion and installed the sears spring, plunger and plunger spring
and viola, it works
