I'm thinking about installing a trigger kit in my
.22 rifle. Is it worth it? $ 49 kit has hammer,springs,and buffer block. Ever try any home gunsmithing and was it worth it?

Many years ago, 12?, I put just a hammer in my 1022, and it improved the pull a bit and made the gun a lot more fun to shoot, I don't remember the brand, but it was just as they started to come out. Maybe there was a spring in the kit too, I don't remember.

Hey Tom the $49.00 kit comes from Cheapgunparts .com. It comes with:
Volquartsen match hammer,
Volquartsen auto bolt release plate.
Hammer and triger springs with shims.
Yellow jacket bolt buffer.
In addition to installing this kit I was going to smooth everthing else up with 800 grit emery.

Read the reply I left for 223 one topic up. That little 22 will do much better with with the trigger job cause you will get a constant trigger pull. With a little practice you get used to it. DON'T oil or GREASE the surface of the trigger and sear. They are set about 3.5 to4 pounds are are very smooth. Lubs lower the pull and they can go off a little TOO easy. Get the message? With the gun unloaded try some dry fire. Cock the gun and Squeeeeeze that trigger. You will be able to tell when is gonna go off. You DON'T want this. When you put in a good trigger then you will see . When you dry fire with a good smooth triggger you start to squeeze and magic happens cause the gun almost goes off by thought! You will also find that different ammo will shoot better or worse in your gun. Buy standard hollow point and not the "Hot" extra distance stuff. Do a little bench shooting and see what gives the best groups. Next follow the other advice I posted. Jeffcat

There was a program on TV about two weeks ago that did that with the 10-22. I own one (gun) and sure like it but don't get to shoot much anymore. It was a simple upgrade and if I remember right it droped the trigger pull from about 6 lbs. to 3.8.

Most of the after market custom parts from Butler Creek, is pertty straight forward on the change over. I put a Butler Creek bull barrel and synthetic stock on one of my 10-20 22's, made a big difference in type of shooting I do.

Do what ever you feel comfortable in doing, just be sure to FOLLOW the directions. Have fun and be safe...

Years ago shot competitive NRA smallbore hunter pistol with TC 22. We took ink pen springs, cut down to size and adjusted to liking, cheap but worked great, probably half the shooters back then did it,Mark

I had a Custom made rifel in 7MM Rem. mag it had a Timney trigger fully adjustable for Creep Crisp and weight. I would say it was well worth the money i paid about $20 way back then. I sold it because with my arthures itis it was tearing my shoulder off every time I pulled that gold trigger.
Walt PS if you have the money and want to play there are a lot of things you can do to make a rifle shoot better but like tractors for pulling it can get expensive.

My thoughts are that it is still going to be a .22, how much better do you need it to shoot? Unless you are shooting for money or shooting regularly against friends for bragging right, with can be more important than money... A trigger kit isn`t going to make much difference on the things you hunt with a .22, or on can plinking. But we aren`t talking about a thousand dollar upgrade either... if you think a trigger kit will help... then it may just do that.

Unless there's something wrong with the gun, the stock mechanism is really pretty good. Play around with it if you wish, but my question is: "Why?" Very happy with the performance of my stock 10-22.

i have one with a match trigger kit, and butler creek rubberized stock, with a red dot scope, and i think it is worth it, i have another one that is stock and you can tell a difference, the one with the trigger kit shoots more consistantly and smoothly

Yes, I wish there was a kit for a softer smoother trigger pull kit for my Marlin 60. Had the gun since I was 12 , killed many a squirrels and a few things Ma would frown on, but that darned thing sure has a hard trigger.

Semi-Automatic. Feds frown on full Auto.

Many years ago when i was young and dumb (now im old and dumb) I filed the sear off my 10 22 and made it a full auto but it would spit the shells out so fast it would jam after 5 or 6 shells and made the gun about worthless till i bought a new sear...

Hope you destroyed the modified sear, just having it in your possession is at least two felonies.
