Product Description

This sale is for services on your trigger group. Component pieces of your group can be upgraded, but you supply the initial group.

We have an absolute one hundred percent money-back guaranty on all services provided. We are running a business, but if our customers are not happy, we will not be in business for long!

The Trigger Job

This trigger work has everything the basic trigger job has, so it's not a bad idea to at least skim the page to get some idea of what we are doing here. This job literally picks up where the basic trigger job stops. All of the same polishing/fitting/tuning happens exactly the same, but this job adds a couple of parts. Primarily, you are getting one of our CNC machined triggers. You can get that trigger in Standard width, which is still slightly wider than the factory, or Full Width. The Full Width triggers does NOT fit more tightly in the trigger group! They both require the exact same fitting; the only difference is cosmetics and the way it feels on your trigger finger. As such, the choice is strictly personal preference. Be very cautious before deciding on the Full Width trigger, because it does require permanent modification of your trigger group, and it feels VERY wide!

However the real difference is that these triggers allow the instillation of an internal, torsion-type, trigger return spring mounted on the trigger itself. This torsion spring system has no moving or sliding parts (unlike the factory plunger) which allows us to get the take up and the reset silky smooth. The hole for the original trigger return spring is then drilled out, tapped, and an overtravel stop is installed in that hole. This is a much cleaner and more solid method than the screw through the trigger design. The overtravel stop makes the trigger feel vastly more crisp, and theoretically improves accuracy.

If you are more serious about your shooting or interested in competing, but still working within a budget, this is the job for you. It will result in an excellent trigger pull for a fraction of the cost of a full after market group. Of course, there are bragging rights and a custom look which come with a billet CNC'ed trigger housing, which is certainly something to consider. That said, it's hard to replace a little time and skill in hand fitting with any number of shiny after market parts, and we can often produce a better trigger pull than most of the aftermarket groups. It's not surprising really, you're not paying us to produce parts, just polish and fit them. Most of the big companies have a ton of money invested in the tooling to produce these custom pieces, so to keep costs down they have to produce them in large numbers. By just re-working the factory parts, we can invest the time needed to really fit and polish the parts as they should be, and still keep the overall cost down.

Pull Weight

Gunsmithing like this is three parts art, one part science, and one part black magic. After all, we are modifying factory parts from a company who isn't known for their precision machined parts. As such it is difficult or impossible to hit an exact finished pull weight. And then when you figure the differences in HOW a pull weight is measured, different scales, even variations in component alignment before and after shipping, asking for a specific weight is just asking for disappointment.

So. We have two options. The first is what we call the sweet spot, and that's where your trigger naturally wants to go, and where it's going to feel best. It's going to land between 2 and 2.5lbs, and it will feel great. This pull weight range is safe for this trigger group, it's light enough for target shooting, but not so light as to be unsafe for a beginning shooter, or a hunter. If you have a specific weight in mind (for example, you want it as light as it will go) feel free to make a note of that on your order when you send it in, and we will see what your trigger can do to accommodate that.

The second option is 3+ lbs. This option is for folks who shoot in certain competitions that require at least a 3lb trigger. A 3lb weight will be hooked to the trigger, and the trigger will need to be able to pick up that weight. We do NOT recommend this pull weight for most people!! I understand that it doesn't sound like much of a difference, but when you have this trigger next to a 2.5lb trigger, it will feel significantly heavier and less precise. Unless you are confident that you are going to be shooting in these competitions, I would strongly encourage you to purchase the Sweet Spot option.

Trigger colors
Click on the image at the top of the page with all of the triggers, to see the available color choices. We are a Cerakote Certified applicator, and every trigger is coated here in house. These are the colors we commonly stock, but in the future there will be options for truly custom colors. We have edited the above image to appear as true as possible in color to the finished product, but understand that there could be slight variations on color from one batch to the next, or when displayed on different monitors. If you are getting other parts Cerakoted, it is always best to do everything at the same time, so that the colors all match exactly.

THE AUTO BOLT RELEASE MODIFICATION

There is a little metal tab on the bottom of the trigger housing, towards the front of the trigger guard. If you hold the bolt to the rear, push up on this tab, and let the bolt forward, it will lock the bolt open. This is used as a safety on ranges that require the action to be open when the range is 'cold', or for when you are cleaning the barrel. To close the bolt however, you need three hands. One to hold the rifle, one to pull back on the bolt, and the third to press up on that tab and somehow rotate it to the rear. It's a pain, and not exactly safe if you have a loaded magazine inserted. Our modification makes it so you still lock the action open exactly the same as before, but to close the bolt you just pull back slightly on the charging handle and let it go, just like you do with any other semi-auto firearm. The hold back will will drop out of the way on it's own when you pull back on the charging handle, without you touching the bolt release. This is NOT a last round hold open! No 10/22 built has a last round hold open from the factory. There is one company making them, Google it if you have more questions. We don't carry or install the part.

Shipping Information

Complete shipping instructions and information can be found here.

$9.50 return shipping and handling will be added to your order when you check out, regardless of how many trigger jobs you purchase. Once you have purchased this service you will get a confirmation email with all the shipping and packing instructions. Print that off, and include it with your trigger.

We are currently processing triggers on Tuesday and Friday, and doing trigger work seven days a week. This means that you may not get an email immediately when it arrives here, for example, if your trigger arrives on a Saturday. In this case, your trigger will not be opened, the order processed, and you emailed until the following Tuesday. If this is a rush project or it's been a while, feel free to contact us! We try to keep you updated of delays as possible, but we have hundreds of projects running at any point. When finished, you will get another email saying that your trigger is finished and shipped, with a tracking number.

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

excellent trigger

Posted by Steve on Feb 18th 2018

I was a novice rifle shooter 2 1/2 years ago. I decided to take the Appleseed course to upgrade my skills and I set up a basic 10/22 for that purpose with a sling, low-power scope for my older eyes, and a Brimstone Tier2 trigger.
The Appleseed instructors were excellent, and the amazing Brimstone trigger enabled me to go from near the bottom of the first day scores to the top by the end of the second day. I was made an offer for that rifle and sold it.
I've now just replaced it with a
10/22 Magpul Takedown and the only change it needed was to get a Tier2 trigger into it.
Done. Wonderful, as before. Thanks, Brimstone. No regrets, NONE.

Wow Wow Wow

I own several 10/22s with different trigger jobs. But this is the best. Awesome service, quick turnaround, and a trigger that is a pleasure to shoot. Thanks Brimstone!!!!

Top quality work at a great price

Posted by Mark on Sep 2nd 2017

Sent in my 20 year old, but lightly used, aluminum trigger group and received a fantastic 2lb 3oz trigger that is perfect for me. 1/16" take-up and another 1/16" to a clean break. The auto bold release works for me and is a nice extra. Thank you Brimstone, I am very happy with your work.

What an improvement over the stock trigger

Posted by Ken Worster on Jul 2nd 2017

I built up a 10/22 target rifle over the winter. The project started with a used 80's vintage stock carbine with a horrendous trigger. I knew the first thing I wanted to replace was the trigger group, but I didn't want to spend a ton of money. I bought a NOS polymer TG and sent it off to Brimstone for a tier 2 trigger rework. My "sweet spot" was a little over 2 lbs. The gun is now a joy to shoot. Very little takeup, a clean break, and an equally short reset. The bolt release mod is extra handy as well.Customer support was great. I wanted to have the TG Cerakoted while it was at Brimstone, but the color I wanted wasn't listed in the dropdown (but was listed elsewhere on the site). I emailed Brimstone and within a couple days they had updated the website. My order took approximately 4 weeks to fulfill, but included work to a receiver as well.

Best trigger you will get for the price

Posted by Andy on Jun 18th 2017

Have heard of this before but never used them. Got a new 10/22 to build into a speed gun with a plastic TG and decided this may be the way to go. Tier 2. Turnaround was faster than advertised, trigger was far better than expected. I've reworked triggers before. And yeah, this is like something you just buy as a complete group. It in no way resembles a stock trigger guard with some polishing or anything. Ordered "sweet spot". Came back 2lb, 4oz. Break is better than you will ever get from a drop in kit. I have a Kidd single stage in another rifle. Yes its 1.5lbs and breaks clean, but for $200, in hindsight I'd got with a Brimstone job all day over that. Its just not that much better to justify it. If you are looking at it and on the fence, just do it. If you want a sub 1lb trigger, then got drop dime and get a Kidd 2 stage. They are different animals. Got another 10-22 for my kids not long after and immediately sent the TG off to Brimstone for another tier 2. Anyone giving less than 5 stars was expecting a $300 trigger. If you bought this as a complete group, the quality should run you at least $150. Yes, its that good.

Fantastic Trigger!

Posted by Andrew on Feb 28th 2017

I ordered a new replacement Ruger trigger group to replace a 1970's vintage metal trigger group in my old standard carbine and specified a 2 pound pull. The trigger is set at exactly 2 pounds and breaks just like the proverbial glass rod. Absolutely amazing!

Awesome

Posted by Lance Norenberg on Oct 31st 2016

Found Brimstone while searching for trigger for an upcoming 10/22 build. After reading many reviews as well as their review of the BX trigger I decided to send one of my triggers to them. Lets just say they will be getting the trigger out of my other 10/22 and I plan to purchase one of their factory triggers for the build. Why spend the extra $$ purchasing an aftermarket trigger when they can work your factory trigger. Process was smooth and easy, had my trigger back in about a week.

Couldnâ€™t be happier

Posted by Matt on Jun 5th 2016

I had the same problem as everyone else with the 10/22. After looking at forums and reviews it seemed very clear that Brimstone was the answer. let me say that I was not mislead. I never expected this huge of a difference! First, it was unbelievably fast. Including time in the mail I was only without my trigger group for 10 days. Next, the job turned out amazing! I had it on the bench 15 minutes after I opened my mail. Talk about a smooth clean break. The positive stop is a huge plus. And then I remembered the price! How in the hell are you gonna get anything near this quality for this price anywhere else? The only possible complaint I can think of is that they could've thrown in a sticker for my truck :). If you're considering getting this done, do it.

Outstanding Triggers

Posted by Daniel B. on May 25th 2016

I recently had two tier 2 trigger jobs done by Brimstone and I am very pleased with the outcome. The triggers are very smooth, with almost no take up or over travel, and at 2 1/8 and 2 1/4 pounds they are far superior to the factory triggers. Turn around time was great, and responses to my questions were quick and informative. I had one very minor issue which was immediately solved by David. I have recommended Brimstone to two of my friends since then.
