Ruger BX 10/22 Trigger - Worth it?

Great info and videos but the first thing youll notice with a Kidd trigger is a BIG WARNING. DO NOT DRY FIRE THE TRIGGER UNIT OUTSIDE OF THE GUN OR PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY OCCUR!!!! Its on the outside of the package so its noticeable for all that buy a used one or one installed in a gun. Im fairly knowledgeable with most fireams but Im also sure Tony Kidd forgot more about guns than ill ever learn. Not trying to be a dork just hate to see someone damage the best trigger that can be had for any 10-22 platform gun.

For the money a BX trigger is the easiest way for anybody to get a much lighter trigger pull.
A Kidde trigger and some of the others cost more than the average 10-22.
Not everyone is a gunsmith wannabe.
I have BX triggers on all my 10-22's and the gophers hate it.

well its been 5 years since that video and another couple years on top of that when i got it and its still working just fine.
its been almost 50 years of me dry firing 10/22 trigger packs and no issues.
at the end of the day he who pays for it can treat it however he desires.
im sure the 2-3 times ive dry fired the trigger pack in its entire life will go unnoticed by the gun gods and lets me honest, if you can afford a kidd stage 2 and 12 other 10/22's you can afford to replace anything you break.

That's like saying that it's acceptable to drop the slide of a 1911 on an empty chamber with the slide stop or flick the cylinder of a quality revolver shut like Mickey Spillane or Lee Marvin in a Private Eye movie.

no one stocks them.
you send them your trigger pack and they work their gunsmithing magic on it and send it back to you.
or you can pay for a new trigger pack and have them work on it and send it to you.

Do you have to go through a broker to ship the trigger group?

No broker required. I sent my trigger direct to Bristone & had it back in less than two weeks.

Suggest you Google Brimstone Gunsmithing, they have a very interesting website.

Curious...what does one put on the customs papers to what it is and is there a chance of it being stopped because of it being a part for a rifle?

I didn't say you cant dryfire. I do it all the time as well. Just stated that Kidd recommends not dry firing their trigger packs outside of the gun or they can be permanently damaged. You can do whatever youd like with ur equiptment. I was only trying to prevent someone from possibly damaging a fine piece of equiptment. I only have six custom 10-22 platform guns with four having Kidd triggers. Two single stage. Two 2 stage. I can afford to replace them as well just don't want to damage them if I can prevent it. I didn't mean to hit a nerve
