Thread: Ruger 10/22 trigger lightening?

Hi all,

Getting back into the varminting, and the ludicrously heavy (as in, you could probably suspend a cocked rifle solely by the trigger and nothing would happen) trigger pull on my 10/22 is getting to me. While I've tried to adjust, as soon as someone else uses my rifle, the effects of the lawyer friendly trigger pull are immediately obvious. I've been doing some googling, and there's a few people modifying the factory parts (Ruger 10/22 Trigger Job, How to Do a Ruger Rifle 10/22 Trigger Job AGI 332 - YouTube) and then there's the kits like this Volquartsen kit that Reloaders has for $200.

Alternatively, I hit up a gunsmith.

I'm just wondering if any other 10/22 owner has had this work done, or done it themselves, and if so, what you'd recommend?

I got mine done by a gunsmith for like $60 and it's good.

Sounds like the way to go, cheers!

$60 trigger job was very nearly as good as the Timney trigger I had in it before hand. 2lb pull.

It doesn't take long to do yourself....

I have seen one I'm considering buying though, but it's more for the built in mag release.

dean maisey did mine. (tauranga)

I did the drop-in Timney Trigger myself and while good it was bloody expensive - if I'd known that the Volquartsen was $200 or a gunsmith would do it for only $60 or so I would've gone for either of those options if I had a run at it again.

Arthur cleland did mine for about $60 and its heaps better.
I just sent him the trigger group in an envelope

im dissopointed with my volquartsen set up. its ok but its not 200$ ok if you know what I mean
