10/22 trigger kit
My father-in-law just got a 10/22 and wants to lighten the trigger pull. Of all the kits out there which ones have you guys had experience with? Which to avoid?

You cant go wrong with Volquartsen parts in my experience. Look for them at www.midwayusa.com 0 -
I didn't put a whole kit it, I just put a vol. hammer in and it lightened the pull tremendously.

I'd second the vote for Volquartsen. While I'm sure others make good stuff,buying a Volquartsen kit and handing it to a competent gunsmith along with your Ruger will undoubtedly yield very commendable results. FWIW, you can lighten the pull without all this, but you don't have the full advantage of a complete trigger job. Do it right the first time, you won't regret it.

A couple of years ago I decided to buy a replacement hammer for my 10/22. Admittedly, I'm a cheap skate and a tinkerer. I thought "what good is that standard Ruger hammer going to do me sitting on the shelf - I may as well play with it before I spend $35 or $40 on an aftermarket one".
A couple of trips to the grinding wheel and a little polishing and I ended up with a very nice, light trigger pull - good enough to let me win a local .22 match.
Yes, I hear all of the gunsmiths, saying never mess with your trigger and never remove metal - but, it is still my gun and I was fully prepared to throw that hammer away if I ruined it - new ones aren't hard to come by. And yes, I understand what the gun would have been if I'd ground off too much metal - so of course, don't try this at home (but it can be done).0 -
I was pleased with results of a Custom Power sear and hammer set.Got it from Midway. 0
