Hi, I know there are several drop-in full trigger available for many hundreds of dollars but what about the hammer or sear only kits ?

I heard the Rimfire Technology adjustable sear by itself is great, remove creep and lighten trigger, I only have to polish other parts and I would be good to go but I cant find it anywhere in Canada.. :(

Is there a shop that carry those parts or if not any other kit that can do the same ?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the help !
 
i picked up the VQ stuff to put into mine, works great.

but it was a little $$ by the time it was all done.
i think all in around $120 + just for all the guts and you do the work yourself to swap it out.

real nice trigger though when done.

you may wanna consider sending your trigger to Brimstone Gunsmithing, they specialize in 10/22 trigger jobs and have 3 different ones you can get.
also there have a been a couple canadian fellas that do them as well, no names are jumping to the front of my brain, maybe check the 10/22 sticky at the top of the forum.
 
A few years ago there was an excellent writeup on rimfirecentral on building a superstock 10/22. It showed how to drill and tap a hammer and diconnector for set screws to make them adjustable, along with a bunch of other tricks. I did the trigger work that was described on one of mine, and it's pretty nice. Keep in mind that I've never shot a Kidd trigger though. Here's that thread on the buildup.

If you're a bit handy, it's not hard to do.

the vq hammer alone is a great improvement from the factory trigger. They used to go for $35. You can stone and polish the hammer yourself to get the same effect but drop-in parts are easier.

I'll second that recommendation as I'm a recent and very satisfied Brimstone customer. Seriously, if you are considering an aftermarket trigger, or upgrading/replacing the parts in your own, it doesn't cost much more to send your trigger pack away and get this professionally done by the experts at Brimstone. I got their top tier 1 trigger job, which I can't imagine could be beat by ANY aftermarket trigger. No, I haven't tried a KIDD trigger, but mine now has a crisp, clean 2lb trigger pull with ZERO creep, so I can't see how ANY 10/22 could be better than what I got from Brimstone in terms of performance. I've read that the Ruger BX trigger is definitely better than stock trigger, but still leaves a bit to be desired.

Thanks! If I understand correctly a new custom hammer lightens the pull but you still end up with overtravel? Then a new sear fix that issue ?

The sear does nothing for overtravel, it fixes the creep or take-up on the trigger. You need an overtravel screw or some such to fix the overtravel. I replace the trigger return spring with a torsion one and then use the stock return spring hole to install an overtravel screw.

If you don't want to do it yourself using the instructions posted above then send it to Brimstone. They do the exact same thing as the post for a really reasonable rate for all the work involved. You will love the trigger either way it gets done and at way less cost than a Kidd.

Are they still dealing with Canadian customers???

I seem to recall learning it was no longer possible to ship trigger units to the, but hopefully I am wrong.
 
+1 for Brimstone. yes they do work with Canadians.

I suggest that they do more than someone who has never done one would be able to do with the same parts. They literally have done thousands, know them inside and out, and have innovated with some of it.

I had a stage2 done for the rifle I build for my wife and its an excellent trigger. No, is not quite as good as my CZ with a Yodave kit in it, but its close.

That really kind of depends on how "handy" a person is IMO. I certainly didn't do my first one very quickly, heck I didn't do my 5th one very quickly but I think my level of work is fairly close to theirs. Sure what takes them 10 minutes takes me 2 weeks but the workmanship is there. 10/22 triggers are really not all that complicated or difficult to work on, you just need a few metalworking skills and knowledge. My metalworking skills come from high school metal shop 40+ years ago and working with machinists once in a while at work so nothing special that's for sure. My knowledge is from the internet, RFC especially.
I'm not saying everyone should try it but if you feel like trying it you have very little to loose, a hammer and a sear at worst.
