Well i have done a little filing of the 10/22 sear's before and have lightened my triggers, but decided i would go a little farther on this build just to see how nice i could get it before I bought a timney drop in. Well after all my work lets just say i am Not buying a drop in trigger after today, I am only buying a tuffer buffer and a power custom red trigger.

I cleaned up the sear today and took some metal off of it. polished it, the hammer and the disconnector. I mean i polished the fire out of them. I also chamfered the bolt.

All i can say is WOOOOW. I had no idea how much the polishing helped. It feels as if its lighter than my 22-250 with a 3 lbs trigger. I dont have a gauge so i really won't know until i get one. This is the best feeling trigger i have ever felt on a 22 and didnt cost me a dime, I will be taking the slop out of the sear and disconnector sometimes this afternoon. The bolt actually is a little easier to pull back now as well and it is stated this chamfering will help with the ejection of sub sonic ammo.

Also i got all of this info from rimfirecentral on the forums in the tips and tricks section. Just thought i would post up my success story lol.

Thanks for all the help guys

Way to go!

if anyone would like some pictures i can take them when i tear her back down tonight to take the slack/slop out of the trigger, sorry i will not have the before and afters,

 

[SubGunFan]

YES...... Pictures ALWAYS help.........

pics uploading now guys but they are bad, the polished areas are blurring the pictures for some reason and they suck, but they will give you an idea.

On the other hand after 15 to 20 times of put togethers and tear downs, i FINALLY got the slop out of the trigger and let me tell yall it was worth it. Also went down to my neighbors that has a trigger pull gauge and had several breaks at 2.3 and 2.4 lbs. that was before the slop was taken out of the trigger, now she breaks without any takeup. maybe a few thousandths. very very clean.

For some reason The payoff is a 1000 times better when I do something myself in stead of paying someone or buying the drop in. Hoping to use his gauge again tomorrow and make sure the pull has not changed after the slop was taken out, For those wondering i used the same site as before and did the JB weld trick. Pics coming soon

here is a pic of my girl for now, I left her in the safe for a while after the build and now its time to start back up on her. Gotta get a can and ND3 now with a Red power custom trigger, and skeleton bolt handle.

here are a few pictures of the polished parts, sorry for the poor quality. If you check the site i referred to it has very good detailed pictures.

Thanks.......

A trick to taking pictures of small parts..... Lay the parts on a dull surface (cardboard works great). Your camera can't focus on a small part when it sees a bigger surface in the background. You also need good lighting even when using the flash.

lol thanks, i will take some better pictures when i tear her down again and put the power custom trigger in. When it comes in from midway

Congratulations, go slow, double check and have fun. You will enjoy shooting it even better now that you did the work.

If you can get a picture of the area you chamfered on the bolt.

[steveo3318]

as yall may know i ordered a red power custom trigger with the set screw, I am also getting the volquartsen Red charging handle to match when it comes back in stock at midway,

Anyway here is my question, I need a honest answer! Whats the most accurate, quietest, and best sub sonic ammo on the market to use with a can????

 

[SubGunFan]

The slower the better...... but you soon get down to BB gun levels......

Most accurate and most quiet might not be the same thing..............

When I am trying to find which ammo my gun likes best, I will get a box of several different brands. I like CCI CBs. The CB LONG is 710 fps. The Aguila 60 gr. SSS is rated at 950 fps. I have been wanting to try it. I think that I have a box in my shop but have not tried it yet. I had pretty good results with the CB shorts. They were super quite in my old Remington with a 24 inch barrel and I killed several squirrels with them. I knew a guy that always squirrel hunted with the CB LOADS.

 

[Toyfare]

What is the barrel length on that beast? It looks tiny!

 

[steveo3318]

its a tactical solutions 18.5 and thanks for the info on the sub sonic guys

 

[steveo3318]

also is a tactical solutions V-block worth the money guys????
