1022 Trigger Work

[greener]

Came across this 1022 trigger job video. Seems to be pretty good.

I do like his trick of using pilot pins for hard to install assemblies. Short pin to hold it together inside the action and then push them out with the real pin.

Now all I have to decide is do I use this as a guide and have at my 10/22, use Oldman's gun shop or buy "expensive" parts on the trigger job I want to do.

I typically use a toothpick to hold it together. As I am both frugal and aware of my limitations I broke down and bought a VQ hammer and later a :match grade" trigger from CGP. With the other DIY stuff I learned from his site I figured I saved the price and "re-invested". I had "polished" the surfaces of the hammer and trigger but didn't have access to a drill press to accurately drill and tap the trigger for a set screw. Hammer can be had for $39 and I think the trigger was $24

I thought about nipping a nail to size. Bearandoldman's smith does an excellent job. My real temptation is to see if I can do it without botching it too badly.

Get the trigger assembly in a padded bag and get it off to Lyle, in no time at all you will have a triiger like my guns all have. My shop does great and fast work. I garontee.

I may do that in a week or so.

Temptation is hard to resist. I noticed that my favorite gun shop had a 10/22 in fair condition listed for a bit over $100. Figured I could talk them into a lower price. After all, I had a good barrel and good stock. Of course, I don't like the stock and....

Fortunately I was able to resist

Buy it before some one else does. You alwyas need another 10/22, at least I do.

For a C-note I'd take that deal.
