Bolt Buffer for 10/22
1 - 20 of 25 Posts
i am going to gun show at hattiesburg this weekend you think they will have them? Do they usually have triggers there? I want some sort of replacement trigger for it before it goes back together.
P.S. I like your Poem at the bottom of your messages.

You can make your own bolt buffer for next to nothing. You can either get a 1/4" poly bolt and cut it down to size, or you can use 1/4" poly fuel line with a pin cut to size to go inside it. I did the latter and it cost nothing. I already had some of the tubing and found a bolt that I was able to cut to size in my parts bin.
As far as the trigger goes, there is an excellent write up about doing your own trigger job over at Rimfire Central. I compared what he said against the hammers I bought and it seemed simple enough. There's also a video available from a gunsmith that takes you through the process step by step, however I no longer have the link. Google could probably find it for you, though. His video was excellent, however it was also somewhat of a PITA, because he was recommending small steps with reassembly and testing between each stroke of the file. I'm sure he was just making sure you were careful, though, because he said he no longer had to do all that. The only drawback to doing your own trigger job is that Ruger doesn't sell stock hammers to the general public, so if you ruin yours, you'll be trying to buy one from an individual who's already upgraded his with a store bought hammer.
I was planning to do mine, but found a Power Custom hammer on sale and decided to take the easier route. However, I believe I could have done it myself, FWTW.
I figured the cost wasn't too bad, since it was less than $30 and the results were outstanding.

I have done this and it is the cheapest way. the other way is to buy the whole trigger housing form Volq, Clark, KIDD.
from Midway and lowers it down to 3+- lbs.

I am not sure if you have taken down your trigger housing but I did this myself and is very easy to do and fun to do.
I would do this and if you want a serious trigger get the KIDD trigger

I have never thought much.about them, I just put mine back together yesterday, I had it apart to strip the paint and get it to bare aluminum and polished it all, it looks cool with the polished stainless barrel all I need to do now is take the trigger back apart and put some good parts in.
