10/22 trigger job

i dont know of anyone local but i do know that Brimstone gunsmithing does 10/22 trigger jobs and are pretty much the industry standard for doing them.
they have 3 levels.
the top level is $100
you just send them your trigger group and they do it up for ya.

i do believe that Dlask out of BC might do them, i recall someone saying they had him tune a trigger for them.

other then that your probably looking at doing it yourself.
 
my first one i went with a VQ upgrade kit and that was wicked good but set me back about 150.
then i went with a timney trigger for my 2nd one, that is even better but cost me 270.
then for my 3rd i went with the kidd 2 stage for 380 and that was perfect.

but for under 100 bucks you can send your trigger to Brimstone and he will hand tune it and put in the bolt release and some other goodies so at the end of the day for the average shooter Brimstone is probably the way to go.

Hi Wayupnorth. I checked out brimstone. They seem like they do the work i am looking for. Thanks
 
A drop in power custom hammer for $30 will bring your pull to a crisp 2.5 lbs to 2.25 lbs. Add their sear and it gets super crisp.

I just purchased a BX trigger from I-Run Guns, took less than two weeks from order to delivery. Dropped it in my 10/22 this a.m. I should have bought one months ago!! The diference is night and day. Cost me around $165 by the time it landed here with taxes, shipping, exchange etc.

BX triggers are not getting a good review at rimfire central.

I'm not sure why they are getting bad reviews. I have one installed in my 10-22 target and I love it. Consistent 2.5 lb crisp break, less over travel than the stock trigger. They are great triggers. $129.99 at Cabela's and about the easiest installation your going to find. I can't find anything not to like about it. I'm going to put one in my carbine as well.
 
i dont think its that they arent good. they just arent impressive. getting a trigger kit or job is usually less and will have the same results. going with a custom pack will cost more but the BX wont hold a candle to it. the BX triggers cater to a specific group: those who dont want to do the work themselves and those who dont want to ship it to someone to do the work. you are paying a premium for convenience.
 
I do all my triggers using the stock parts and instructions from RFC. Adjustable hammer and sear plus a torsion trigger return spring and over-travel screw where the plunger used to be equals a trigger that feels just about as good as TEG's Kidd single stage for $0, just a couple of hours of my time:)
If anyone wants a copy of the instructions, they've disappeared from RFC, just drop me a PM with your email and I'll send them off to you.
 
i dont see how you can go so far as to say that a home made trigger job is comparable to a custom kidd single stage trigger. they are completely different. from objective measurements the kidd pack has a lower pull weight, less take up, less over travel, and a stronger hammer impact resulting in harder firing pin strikes. they also accomplish this all while being completely safe. if you attempted to lower the pull weight and take up to what the kidd single stage has using a standard ruger trigger design it would not be considered nearly as safe and you would have an increased chance of accidental discharges.

whether you see the value in the custom trigger packs is your own decision. however, i can provide objective evidence that a trigger job is not equal is not comparable to a custom pack. this not only applies to kidd triggers but to all custom trigger packs from other companies.

I believe I said "just about as good" and to my and everyone else who has tried its' crisp 28oz break, the same as the Kidd was set at BTW, there is very little difference to the average shooters finger. Maybe some self professed "expert" can see a notable difference but I highly doubt even you can see anywhere near a $350 difference. Mine has the same pull weight, un-noticeable creep, 0 overtravel. I have an aftermarket hammer spring, Power Custom, so very good pin strikes and a pretty good lock speed. It passes any sort of reasonable slam fire test so I don't see how you can say it is "unsafe".
I do everything to my triggers that Brimstone does to theirs, right down to the very hard to get RT triggers in a couple of them. I probably take 100 times the amount of time that he does to do one but I feel my level of craftsmanship is equal to his, perfection! I guess he doesn't know what he is talking about when he states "Your trigger will be equal to a high end target trigger on a bolt action rifle, and superior to most aftermarket 10/22 groups in actual trigger feel." in his advertising.
You are also entitled to your opinion, questionable as it is, I'll just choose to disagree.
