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. We strive for a one week turnaround time on trigger work, and we usually make that happen. Sometimes it can be a little faster, or if we are waiting on a batch of Cerakote or something, it can take a little longer. 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.

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.

So glad I was referred to Brimstone Gunsmithing

Posted by Tom on May 24th 2016

Read the titles of the first five reviews, they say it all! Now I luuvv my trigger too. I am reminded of a book called "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", where the author explores his Metaphysics of Quality. After reading this book my idea of "quality" has never been the same. I think David Seth/Brimstone Gunsmithing pursues this in his work. Professional, courteous service from beginning to end, and like others have said, at a remarkable value. Thank you Brimstone.

Wow

Posted by Patrick Gehringer on May 18th 2016

I had the tier 2 work done plus the tech pull release for a gun I am rebuilding. I absolutely cannot believe how fantastic the trigger job turned out. The 2 1/8 lb trigger is exactly what I needed for my target build. The blue trigger and mag release will match the blue Revolution stock very well. From this point forward, all my 10/22's will receive trigger work from Brimstone! You will not regret spending fewer $$ with Brimstone rather than a high end aftermarket trigger.

Great price, worth every penny.

Posted by David Oosterhouse on Feb 24th 2016

WOW, what a great addition to my 10/22. My 10/22 was a Christmas present from my wife over 25 years ago. I have literally shot thousands of rounds thru it hunting, target shooting and just plain plinking. The past several years I have participated in several Project Appleseed events and have made a few modifications to my rifle that have been recommended by others on the Appleseed forum. The trigger on my rifle was not terrible but I knew it could be better. I researched several options and had the chance to try a friend's rifle with a KIDD trigger group installed. He installed the KIDD in his newer 10/22 to move away from the polymer trigger group. The break was good but I didn't care for the fact that there wasn't any take up. After seeking reviews on the three tiers on the Appleseed forum, I decided that tier 2 was what I wanted and needed. I am very happy with the small but definitely there take up. I haven't measured it, maybe 1/16 of an inch movement. Then a very nice slightly over 2 lbs. break. I sent in my trigger group to late have it back in time for the Appleseed event I participated in last year, but I am looking forward to using it this year. Do not spend over $200 for a job that can be done for less than $100, you won't regret it.

Unbelievable!!! Very Impressed

Posted by DP on Feb 20th 2016

So, little background on me...got bit buy the 10/22 bug over the last year and half. Have a couple takedowns and just purchased a Target Rifle as I wanted to see how precise I can get. Bought a certain four letter brand (starts with a K and ends with a D). Wonderful, drop in unit with great quality, but took a flyer on a recommendation to try Brimstone, specifically the Tier 2 work...all I can say is WOW!!! Very impressed!!! In my opinion this trigger is tuned better and smoother than previously said drop in trigger, at a better price. In fact, just picked up another OEM take off trigger to have David work up for me...it will be on the way to Brimstone shortly. Something to be said about hand crafting versus machined products. I grabbed a full width trigger and asked for the "sweet spot" pull...have to agree, it really is one "sweet" trigger. Don't hesitate, just give them your money and you will be an incredibly happy customer just like me! Thanks Brimstone, most appreciated!!!!

Best in the West!

Posted by Alan Neill on Jan 25th 2016

I'm one who doesn't believe you can truely evaluate a barrel on any weapon without a good trigger. I'm trying to wring all the accuracy I can from my 10-22 sporter, and the trigger is the first thing to get right so the barrel quality can be evaluated. I heard of Brimstone from a friend who was very pleased with their work and decided to give them a try. I sent them my old aluminum trigger group for a Tier 2 build and bolt release mod. I received my group a week later. The feel is smooth, the break is crisp at 2#... the work, quality, and value is excellent. I would recommend Brimstone to anyone, and intend to send as much business their way as I can. Thank you Brimstone!

HOLY SHIT!

Posted by Bill on Aug 25th 2015

I do not typically write reviews, but the work Mr. David Seth performed so exceeded my expectations that this review was almost required. Simply put, this may have been the best $85 (total) that I have ever spent. My 20 year old 10/22 had the typical 40 pound trigger. Now, I have a 2 pound pull, no over-travel and minimal reset. I don't know what kind of voodoo the folks at Brimstone Gunsmithing are into, but I do know this trigger is now magical... perfect. If you have any doubts as to this purchase, forget them and proceed to throw money at your computer. You will not regret it.

Amazing!

Posted by Stefan on Jul 28th 2015

Just shot my tier 2 trigger this weekend and what a difference. Crisp, no over travel, almost no takeup, 2.5 lb......simply makes it a whole different gun. Even my wife, an inexperienced rifle shooter who loves shooting our new 10/22, remarked that it made a huge difference for her and was glad I spent the money on it. Now that's an endorsement I like to hear!

Outstanding

Posted by Jonathan Hale on Jun 25th 2015

I wanted to out shoot my brother in law and the noticeable difference was evident with the first clip. He's still blaming his stock for not being sturdy enough (but secretly covets my upgrade.) Thank you David and good luck with your business.
