Ruger Amer. Rimfire trigger job

[Rosebud22]

remove the bolt and magazine

remove the barreled action from the stock

lay the barreled action on its side, with side of the trigger housing which has the all the E Clips facing up.

The tiniest E Clip (@ the bottom of the trigger housing) hold the trigger pivot pin in place.

Remove that E Clip.

Push out the trigger pivot pin.

Remove the trigger.

Look into the hollow trigger housing. A spring will be in a hollow recess (sideways) in the housing.

Pull the spring out with a needle-nose pliers. Or even hook it out with a bent paperclip. Put the spring aside (don't loose it).

Reassemble in reverse order.

My (replacement) rifle went from 3.5# to 1.5# by removing the spring. The spring on the Accu-Blade will reset the trigger.

As always, if you do this, you assume all & any risk, YMMV.

We all need to be really careful when modifying triggers. I have several CZ's with light triggers (4-6 ozs) but I only use them to shoot from a bench. Anything I would walk around with will have at least a 1.5 -2 pound trigger. Has the accuracy improved with the trigger mod?

The trigger in the American Rimfire feels so nice I can't imagine feeling the need to remove a spring entirely. What about just polishing the hammer and sear like on a 10/22? Seems less risky to me. I don't have a trigger weight gauge but mine feels great OTB.

+1 that feels pretty good stock

i did the brooks kits on my CZ's as well...i also found that i actually had to add weight back as they were TOO LIGHT of pull to trust when skulking about...

accuracy did NOT suffer, in my application...
