Күн бұрын

Part of most trigger work for the Ruger 10/22 involves lightening the trigger return spring in some way, either by cutting coils on the factory part, or dropping in a lightened aftermarket spring. Although that will lighten the trigger pull, you might also find that the trigger will no longer reset. The common answer is to just use the factory weight spring, but that's a band-aid fix, forcing the parts to work rather than fixing them and making it run like it should. Here's how to do that.
As Always, Brimstone Gunsmithing takes no responsibility for anything you may do to your firearm! This video is for educational purposes only, any modification you do to your firearms, you do at your own risk! We always recommend you send your rifle to a competent gunsmith.

Spent a couple of hours with a stone and 1500 grit. The first couple of times I worked on the hammer and sear and polished every contact surface. For fine tuning I focused on the sear removing it at least 6 times, removing a tiny mount from the head of the cut. In short, it breaks clean and the pull is 1 1/2 to 2 pounds.

David, thanks for this info. It's excellent. I had already purchased a replacement hammer before I knew of your company and gunsmithing services. In hindsight had I known about you I would have had you do a Tier 2 trigger job. In watching one of your other videos where you explained the trigger return spring, a lot of information was clarified at that moment. Again thanks, Sir and my compliments to you for your professionalism in sharing this info.

I hired brimstone to upgrade the bx 22. They did an excellent job and it came back at 1.5 lbs , virtually no reset and includes a new trigger. You provide the bx 22. they upgrade it and send it back for around $100. Well worth it if you want a great trigger.

Good video. One small thing: Dull 1,000 grit sandpaper is not the same as sharp 1,500 grit. It cuts slower, but leaves the same size scratches. You'll get a better result switching to the finer grit.

a couple years ago I got my 10/22. when I went prairie dog hunting after each shot the trigger would not reset and I had to push it forward myself. I shot it 50 rounds to see if it would get better. no. lucky I had my favorite browning SA22 and used it that day. I was near a small town hardware store and got a 3 dollar fine grit carborundum stone. took the thing apart and just knocked the burs and roughness off a little bit being careful not to make a mess of it. its been fine ever after. when I ran into the Ruger representative I told him how unhappy I was with the poor job they did and how angry some customer wold have been if they could not fix this themselves easily, spoiling their hunt and requiring sending the gun back to Ruger. my gun has the new style shiny hammer. the 10/22 will never be the great gun the Browning SA22 is but for the price and with a little work its a good gun.

That’s a great story. It takes a special kind of person to be able to take something like this apart, figure out what needs polishing, and go from there. Good job, glad it’s worked for you! I’m moral opposed to Brownings. Not John Moses himself for course, but the company which bears his name is not what it once was. So I would go the opposite direction... but when I think about it, my Rugers have very few Ruger made parts on them... so maybe I don’t have much room to talk.. Thanks for writing and sharing that story, and as always, let me know if there’s anything else we can help with!

@@BrimstoneGunsmithing My brownings, one made about 1957 and the other a japan version. I have absolutely no idea why someone would not want to own a browning for moral reasons. my suggestion. support OUR President Trump for good reasons and do not support or believe the traitors who want our country destroyed. as for your trigger I installed. works very nice. has a built in training aid. the edge of the trigger is very sharp and discourages one from curling the finger over the edge. since we need to push the trigger in the center with the pad of our finger anyway. the sharp edge just helps to train proper trigger skills. note: my gun had a 10 turn interrupter spring and would not work. I watched the video. you showed an 8 turn spring. I trimmed mine to 8 turns and wa la! works great. just in case anyone else finds a factory spring to long. I rate the trigger a success.

The issue I have with brownings is the design of their firearms. Especially stuff like the BLR. Very complicated, rack and pinion gear system that is easily damaged and very difficult to repair. Steel barrel pressed into an aluminum receiver which pretty much eliminates the possibility of replacing the barrel for any reason. And the cherry on top, everyone assumes they are an upstanding American company, but the guns are made in Japan. Which I’m fine with, to a point, but since they aren’t built here, they have a tendency to discontinue models and then refuse to do any warranty work on them. When, because of stuff like pressed in barrels, it pretty much has to be a factory repair. But those are extreme circumstances, I have thousands of customers who have been very happy with their Brownings for decades 👍

Hi, I am enjoying you video from 10 years ago. Hopefully you're still around to point me in the right direction. About 20 years ago when I had a lot of time on my hands I modified my 1022 recently I just got to go out with a friend to shoot it after almost the same amount of time and he made a comment of how lite the trigger pole was. I have since purchased a lineman electronic trigger pull gauge. It reads out at 2.12 to 2.15 Lbs. My wife and I have always talked about that we create our own problems, if I try to lighten the trigger pull anymore. Do you think that's advisable and I've only polished two surfaces, or said ground down it's kind of hard to remember what I did 20 years ago maybe more like 24 I've completely dissembled the rifle. All but the spring for the safety. She's dirty. Also, do you have any recommended cleaning solution to remove the carbon? Thank you
@CarlPapa88

2.15 lb trigger pull is pretty low. 👍The BX gets down to 2.5 lb. As long as it doesn't accidentally discharge, that'd be as low as I'd go DIY.

SuperSaltydog77 I have no idea. There is so much variation between trigger groups that I'd say it would be pointless to try and assign a number value. I do it all by feel. As a rule of thumb... do LESS of a radius than you think you need, and only polish until the factory finish at the highest point disappears.

I (over)worked my hammer and sear. Got a terrifically nice, light pull... but when the safety is engaged and I pull the trigger there's a tiny click then when I take it off safe, the hammer falls. What's the fix for this? I obviously need to redo some angles to get more hammer/sear surface engagement, right? Can you do a vid on the angles needed to get things right?
@BrimstoneGunsmithing
@BrimstoneGunsmithing 9 жыл бұрын
jon-anthony Lewis Hey, sorry for the delayed response, been away from KZfaq for a while and wow! Turns out these videos are fairly popular! That actually has nothing to do with your sear/hammer engagement or angles... not really anyway... the real fix is stretching the lower 'leg' of the sear so that it sits on the safety more firmly with the safety engaged. We typically use a ball peen hammer. You have to know what you're doing though, or you risk cracking the part. For liability reasons I'm not going to go into great depth on that, but if you do your homework on this issue I'm sure you can find some more info on it. I will say that we automatically fix that with any trigger work that we do. Hope that helps!

It could, theoretically, but what I have found is that on this particular surface there really isn't a lot of pressure between the slide components. I can't say that I've ever seen one which had broken in from use. In fact it's usually the opposite (kind of), as the springs weaken over time or even just after taking an initial 'set,' you'll see issues arise. But again, can't say that I've ever seen them go away. So... theoretically yes, but practically, no? Lol, hope that helps!
