I'm sure this has been talked about to death. But ever since we got the new format of the website, I have a heck of a time doing simple searches on the forum.

So I'm asking you very knowledgeable people about how to reduce the trigger pull on the 10/22.

THanks

You gotta search, there's just way too much on this.
Use Google to search either the whole WWW, or just this site.
The search engines included in most websites are far inferior.

To search a specific site type this: "stuff I'm looking for site:site I want to search"
eg: 10/22 trigger mods site:canadiangunnutz.com

I just used that last tag line on google ... didn't come up with much lol

OP ... read the sticky at the top of the rimfire forum, plenty of information about trigger mods in there. Best way is to change out your hammer and sear iirc .. or you can find a board member who likes to work on 10/22's and ask him *ahem* ... them if they want to work on it for you.

DIY is the best learning tool, lots of youtube vids as well.

get it now
 
I simply took a small dremel with a polishing tip and polished where the sear and hammer connect, this wont make it a target trigger but it takes out all the "creep".
 
The simplest way to get the job done is to buy a complete trigger parts kit (trigger, hammer, sear), that way you address all issues (overtravel, creep), and not just weight of pull. This isn't the only way to go, but its a good way.

Where do you order from? Every place I've found on-line is in the U.S., and they're not so keen on exporting parts for firearms.

Sorry to hear that. I ordered all my parts back a couple of years ago, and they even had free shipping. I started with modifying the sear myself, and that made for great pull and creep, but I didn't like the overtravel, then I ordered the rest of the parts and adjusted to perfection. I hope you can find a source here in Canada. Either that, or stone the sear and install a set screw on the back of the trigger to prevent overtravel.
 
What does 'best' mean to you? Easiest? Quickest? Cheapest? Lightest pull? I bought a Kidd 2 stage that apparently is adjustable down to 3 oz on each stage. Easy, yes. Cheap, no.

I was being pretty vague in my first post, I didn't want to risk the ban hammer by promoting a fellow gun nut and his services ... BUT.

Contact Wham-0 and see if he would be willing to work on your TG ... he does an amazing job, it's not a kidd or a timney but would give both a run for their money!
