Trigger Work

How difficult is it to stone and polish the parts of a trigger on a 10/22. I have heard and read that it is the easiest and cheapest way to a better trigger. I have some experience with this stuff, but not a lot. I have never took the parts of a trigger apart at all. I know a guy who said he could do it for $45 but that guy is over an hour away from where I live. Any help is appreciated.

Search the web, you well find several sites with DIY info on 10/22 trigger jobs. Stone, polish and adding a setscrew to the sear well give you a great trigger that is adjustable. My bench gun is under two pounds with oem parts. For a field gun just stone and polish well get you a four to five pound trigger with little or no creep.

i have done my own 10/22 trigger work and upon dis-assembly was quite shocked at the standard trigger group manufacturing quallity-really bad "stamping" of parts
i used a piece of steel plate laid down with "wet and dry" fine grit sand papers of increasing grit levels to clean up the "burrs" and then polished them up with a product we get here in new zealand called "autosol" i would imagine that it would be readily available in most countries
then the next tip for assembly would be to make a "dummy pin" insert in the trigger to aid assembly ( i just cut down a nail of the correct diameter - only the width of the trigger) witch then pushes out with the factory pin once the trigger is put into the holder

anyway it worked fine for me ... i would follow what the others have mentioned and check rimfire central

cheers steve

Watch this vid a couple of times until you are sure you understand the workings real well.

I used this to great effect. My trigger has no creep, is lighter and smoother. Very satisfied not paying $0.01 for it too.

Also 270's dummy pin from a nail is right on, perfect. Others have used the stick part of a q-tip. But the nail-pin is in my tool box for future uses.
