Product Description

THIS IS FOR SERVICES ON YOUR TRIGGER ONLY!!!! NO TRIGGER GROUPS ARE FOR SALE!!!

Note: We do not give you an option for trigger weight. They all fall between 3 and 3.5lbs. This may be heavier or lighter than you are used to, but after all our customers have the trigger in hand, everyone agrees that it is a huge improvement, and a great feeling trigger. If you have a preference within that weight range, you can request that on the note you include with the trigger, but these Mini triggers simply do not allow as much adjustment to weight as other firearms do.

We include the overtravel stop behind the trigger on every Mini trigger we do. There are a few very old Minis which have a different trigger guard, which doesn't allow us to do that modification, but I would say that's less than 2% of the Mini groups we see. I will try and get more information and pictures, but at this point you can assume that your trigger group is getting an overtravel stop.

Like the Ruger 10/22, the Mini 14 filled a niche in a way few other firearms have. They have been wildly popular for decades, with current models leaving the shelves faster than ever. However the shear popularity of their firearms, along with a few other business factors, have made Ruger a target for lawsuits over the years. In an effort to combat this, Ruger tends to produce remarkably heavy triggers handicapping their otherwise solid firearms.

THE TRIGGER JOB

This service is for a basic trigger job. No parts are swapped during this work. Unlike the 10/22, the Mini 14 has a fairly solid, quality, trigger group, which usually only needs some judicious shaping, polishing, and spring work to get a vastly improved trigger pull. There is a degree of art/technique involved in the process, and that's where a qualified gunsmith comes in. We will smooth and lighten the pre-travel in the trigger, create a crisp and clean break at a significantly lighter weight, and install an overtravel stop. That stop will improve the theoretical accuracy of your firearm, produce a cleaner feeling break, and will greatly reduce the trigger reset distance. On these groups there is a limit to how light you can go and still have it be safe. The lower limit on these groups is generally 3lbs, give or take a little.

Keep in mind that this is a two stage trigger. When you start to pull the trigger there will be some 'take up' as you compress the trigger return spring, typically about 1.5lbs worth of pressure. You are then going to 'hit the wall' where the trigger movement stops. At this point (assuming a 3lb trigger pull) you only need apply an additional 1.5lbs of pressure for the trigger to break. It might not be what you are used to, but the result is that a 3lb two stage trigger will feel lighter than a 3lb single stage.

Before it leaves our shop, we will inspect and test for feel, final pull weight, and safety. That includes the manual safety, proper sear engagement, and proper disconector engagement and tension. A positive sear/hammer engagement is maintained so that the firearm will not discharge if accidentally bumped or dropped. The disconector engagement is checked, and sometimes even increased, to ensure there is no chance of firing multiple rounds with a single pull, regardless of how light that pull is.

We offer a 100% money back guaranty on all our work.

Obviously we are trying to run a business, but if our customers are not happy, we will not have a business for long.

We do whatever we can to ensure our customers are fully satisfied both with their product and their service.

WOLFF EXTRA POWER HAMMER SPRING

Many brands of steel-cased 7.62x39 have very hard primers that the factory hammer spring often fails to ignite. If you plan on shooting steel-cased ammunition in your Mini 30, we recommend installing a Wolff extra power hammer spring to ensure consistent ignition. This is generally not necessary with Mini-14s or brass-cased 7.62x39. The heavier hammer spring will also generally add an ounce or two to your trigger pull, so some triggers with this option may come in slightly above 3.5lbs.

SHIPPING

Return shipping and handling will be added to your order when you check out, regardless of how much you purchase. Once you have purchased this service our website will automatically send you a confirmation email with all of the shipping and packaging instructions. If you do not get one, check your spam or trash folders. If you still don't see it, you can visit our shipping information page here.

We are processing triggers on Tuesday and Friday. So if your trigger arrives on a Monday, you wont get an email saying that it's arrived until Tuesday. (In other words, stop panicking if you don't get an email from us the same day your shipper said it arrived.) You will get another email with a tracking number after the first saying that it's finished and shipped.

Thanks for your interest! Feel free to contact us at any point, and happy shooting.

I’m a believer

Posted by Status Crow on Nov 26th 2017

I sent my trigger in and it came back within a week . Cross-country, no less, and at an even 3 lb. trigger pull. Brimstone turned what was already my favorite rifle into an even better one, and I would highly recommend them... so much so that I am sending them my Mini-30 trigger next.

Everything you said it would be

Posted by Don O’Connell on Jul 15th 2017

I received my Mini 14 trigger a couple of days ago. Took the rifle to the range today and the improvement was remarkable. You measured the pull at 3 lbs 3 oz. That's about perfect; light without being touchy. The take up was smooth and the break crisp. The over travel stop makes a big difference. Great job guys. I also appreciate your advice on the amount of lubricant to use - none.

What a difference!

Posted by danmonsterman on Dec 1st 2016

I couldn't be more pleased with the trigger work these guys did on my mini 14. They took a heavy trigger with lots of creep and created an incredibly smooth, crisp trigger with no creep. My new trigger came in at 3 and a quarter pounds... perfect. And they added a stop so there is no more over travel, a bonus in my book. All for a very reasonable price. I'd recommend this company to anyone!

Great trigger job

Posted by Joe Mance on Nov 28th 2016

Sent my trigger group to Brimstone, and what a difference! Trigger stop is great, and the trigger pull is 3.5 lbs, and much smoother than before! Thanks Brimstone!

FAST Turn Time!-Crisp Trigger

Posted by Chuck Cinque on Jun 18th 2016

I sent Brimstone the trigger group from a brand new 5828 Target Model expecting to wait 2-3 weeks for it to be returned. Much to my surprise they received it on a Wednesday and it was headed back to me that Friday - a 2 day turn time. Maybe I had lucky timing, but at any rate, they're not just sitting around twiddling their thumbsThe stock trigger wasn't completely awful, but now it has improved in every way, light, smooth, short take up, no creep, then a light, crisp break, 3.2 lbs. total. Worth every penny, I am 100% satisfied. Keep up the good work!

Simply Outstanding!!!!

Posted by Mike Brando on Feb 19th 2016

Sent my 583 series Mini 14 trigger group to Brimstone for their action rework. I was lucky as the stock Ruger OEM trigger was not too bad at a fairly clean 5 pound break. Being a trigger snob and having worked and after market triggers on several of my guns I still had to get it worked. Mailed it in and received it back in a couple of weeks. Simply OUTSTANDING!!! If not the best trigger I have ever felt it is right up there at the top. 3 1/2 pound pull that breaks like a glass rod. Feels much lighter. Didn't think a Mini trigger could be so nice. Possibly the best bang for the buck upgrade that could be made to a Mini. Put me on the satisfied customer list.
Regards Mike

Good Work, Great Value

Posted by Steve on Dec 26th 2015

I sent Brimstone my gritty factory Ruger Mini-14 trigger and under two weeks later it came back to me in much better condition. Brimstone smoothed and lightened the pull significantly. For the money it is hard to beat this modification for the Mini-14.

Excellent!

Posted by Charlie on Jun 26th 2015

My Mini-14 Target Model had a 7+ lb. trigger pull that severly affected its accuracy potential. I sent my trigger group in and when I received it back about two weeks later, it now has a trigger pull of 3 lbs with a crisp clean break. I am very happy with the work and am planning to send the trigger group from my Mini-30 in for the same treatment.
