Trigger on 10/22 are ok but not great. I was about to purchase a trigger kit to lower down the trigger pull and a smoother trigger but decided to give a try to do it my self before ordering. Worst case I would later on purchase new parts if this would not work. Just wan't to share the link below that worked great for me..

This trigger job took me 3-4 hours (mostly testing not to over do it).

Everything about the video is good and at the end I tried Jp bore polish with the dremel and this left marks on my trigger group (to rough). I then bought Polysol witch as a finer grain and this was just perfect.. It left a nice miror effect and even with a 10x microscope no scratch effect could be seen. If you have any question ill be happy to help out. Take your time don't over do it and at the end hope you get the same great results as I got..

PS: I know that it is not the right way to change the radius or geometry but just by polishing the trigger it does not make the trigger better on 10/22 (need to remove some)

Sorry for bad english, cheers!

If you go with a good fine grain stone the only worry that I would have is after scrubbing at least 100 times you might create an angle. By using the dremel you give 3-4 hits and then buff it out with your stone and finish off with Polysol Polisher. If you have a pull scale and you see that you are at 5 then you know you can take off a bit more. I think the most important thing is to take off test take off and test again. You should stop around 3.5lbs.

Cheers!
 
Using stones gives you a much more controlled method of removal.
One slip with a dremel and your hammer is toast.
I've done quite a few trigger jobs and personally I would NEVER use a demel myself.

Just my .02
 
Home trigger jobs are pretty good on a 10/22. The only thing I'd add would be to install a set screw to reduce trigger over travel.

What about a Dremel just with a buffer and polishing compound? Would it make enough difference just to polish up the surfaces, or do you need to take a bit off.

Absolutely! Polish all the contact points on your hammer, sear and disconnector.
You won't get it down to 2 lbs pull, but you'll certainly feel a difference.

You will get a smoother pull but won't reduce the pull weight much. If ever you make a mistake, you can buy a new sear for dirt cheap and retry. If you succeed, I bet you that you will start playing with all your firearms and get a great fun doing it.

Tips: Use google and Youtube to get info. Once you have something that you beleive that might be good try to find post that people got bad results and then make your decision...

cheers!
 
Use a stone and then you can control the angle precisely. Princess auto has inexpensive stones if you don't think you are going to need them much.
