I searched and I really couldn't find what I was after, so....
I'm looking for the most inexpensive route I can go to get the trigger pull down to where it should be.. 2 - 2.5 lbs. or so..

Remember.. INEXPENSIVE

I've read here about changing the hammer, but I'm looking for specifics as far as who's aftermarket stuff works and such..

I'm open to suggestions..

I've been without a 10/22, and all Ruger products for a long time due to Ruger's old insurance habit of not insuring their own employees if they were one of those EVIL motorcycle riders. That's been solved by Ruger a while back, and I recently picked up a dandy used 10/22 at a very good price.
I've slapped on a Weaver scope mount and am using full size rings and a nice Bushnell 4-12x40 scope, but the trigger pull is pretty close to that of my Mosin Nagant's pull, not that of a quality .22..

So... Fire away!!!

Well I can answer that..........halfway. I replaced the hammer AND sear in my 10/22 but I could have gotten the trigger pull at 2.5lbs by just replacing one not both. I think it's just the hammer by itself that will get you exactly what you want but now I can't remember. The Hammer runs $30 at Power Custom and other sites. I don't think I needed to change the sear to lower the pull.

either a power custom or volquartsen hammer will get you what you want. you dont need a sear, or to change out the factory springs.

The Power Custom Sear/Hammer set came with springs galore. I changed them all out but I'm not sure if I needed to do so. My 10/22 cycled fine. I just wanted the lower pull.osCommerce

thats why you buy just the hammer, you dont need all the other junk.

Usually the pull weight is determined by not only the trigger but also the spring tension. I would get a lighter spring as well as a trigger.

I did a bunch of searching last night and that's pretty much what I found. The sear has a big notch and you basically have to pull it uphill to get it out of the notch, where the aftermarket hammers have taken car of this for you..

Looks like $25 for a hammer and maybe $6 for a cushion while I'm at it..

Thanks guys!!!

i will reiterate, there is no need to change springs in the 10/22. i can put a sub 2# trigger pull on a 10/22 without using any aftermarket parts. the hammer spring affects the functioning of the rifle- ruger has it pretty well figured out- dont mess with it!

All you need is a hammer..period....and I own one of the few gun stores for 10/22's that WOn't try and sell you everything under the sun.
I have both volquartsen and power customs hammers at CheapGunParts.Com and both are pretty much equal....volquartsens are a little more expensive. I like the feel of the power customs better myself.
