10/22 trigger job

I've done 2. The one that I kept is at 2.5 lbs and the other I sold to a buddy is at 4 lbs. I followed most if not all the steps on www.rimfirecentral.com and they worked like a charm. I was worried about the hardness of the metal in the sear area but after a few thousand rounds no trouble yet!! It's slow going doing it by hand but if you do a bit and reassmble to test, you'll see how your progressing, and not go too far!!! I change the springs on the one I kept also, BAD idea, it decided when it wanted to empty my 25 rnd clip, it sure was fun, but unpredictable. Swapped them back to stock ASAP.
 
I've done one that turned out great. Its a piece of cake. All I did was polish all mating surfaces and take a file to the hammer where it hooks to the sear. You need to take some of the "claw" off the hammer. There's way too much overlap where the hammer and sear meet. Do this very slowly and reassemble and check often. After complete make sure it will not go off accidentally by cocking bolt and bumping the butt on the floor rather hard (on a phonebook or something). If it does trash it. If you take your time and check often, you won't have any trouble.
 
I've altered two. Both down to 2lbs and slightly less. Remember it's a semi auto and if you get it wrong , it can fire in burst.

I am pretty sure that when I do mine i'll just buy the upgraded parts. You get the lowered pull without the possible safety issues. But i'll probably mail order it from Hawktech.
