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.

Ordered tier 2 trigger work for a 10/22.

Posted by Tim Bishop on Mar 14th 2019

This is the second trigger I sent to Brimstone. Both are very smoothe, a pleasure to shoot. I recommend Brimstone every chance I get. The first was a newer plastic trigger box the second an older metal trigger box. Both are crisp and reset quickly. They break in the same place every time. No guessing when the shot will happen. Good job to the folks that do the work. I will be sending another trigger this summer.

Disappointment

Posted by David Stein on Mar 12th 2019

I shipped two 10 22 trigger assemblies to Brimstone for Tier 2 trgger work on 1/29/19. You received these triggers on 1/31/19 and I got them back on 2/22/19. It clearly states on your website that you "ship everything in a USPS small flat rate box, wrapped and packed in shipping paper". My two trigger assemblies were each put in small bubble wrap bags and put in the box with nothing to keep them from banging on each other during transit to Florida. Much to my surprise when I opened the box, one trigger assembly had banged on the other enough to fire the trigger in the bag with nothing blocking the hammer. The hammer spring/strut assembly was loose in the bag, the hammer was forward and the safety was in the fire position. The bolt release would sometimes work automatically and sometimes not. The finish on my aluminum housing has been gouged. It appears to have been clamped in a vise without padded jaws. My factory parts were not returned with my order (specifically my aluminum trigger blade). I don't know if your policy is to keep any factory parts removed from a cutomer's firearm or if this was just an oversight. I called and spoke to Michael when I received my order to express my disappointment and was told I'd have to send an e-mail. I got off the phone at 6:24pm and by 6:30pm I had sent the e-mail and received a reply stating that, if you felt it was necessary, I would receive an e-mail response. Today is 3/12/19 and I've received no response. I can only assume Brimstone feels a response is not necessary. Perhaps I've been spoiled by my local gunsmith's meticulous work and attention to detail, but I have to say that I'm very disappointed in Brimstone.

Tier 2 trigger work

Posted by Chris Lambert on Feb 7th 2019

These second two trigger groups are just as good as the first trigger group I got last year. Silky smooth, breaks like glass is the best way to describe the results! Highly recommended...you will not be disappointed.

still happy

Posted by Andrew on Jan 9th 2019

You just can't put a price on customer service, can you? I wanted a couple additional tweaks on two tier 2 triggers I got recently. However picky you think you are about triggers, I promise these guys are pickier. They fixed the issues I asked about for free and paid the additional shipping to send em back to me. Go Brimstone.

great triggers, extraordinary customer service

Posted by Andrew Gainer on Dec 19th 2018

The trigger work brings me back for more, but the customer service inspired a written review. David called me this week when a fluke accident dinged my trigger housing. To avoid comitting him in the future, I won't tell you l
how he compensated me. Suffice to say, there were multiple options, all of which were more than satisfying. I don't know how this outfit keeps the small business love when they're so popular, but I hope it lasts.

Tier two trigger

Posted by Joe Snyder on Nov 6th 2018

I’ve purchased 5 of these, and will continue to for every 10/22 I buy. Excellent trigger, if you like Ruger’s BX trigger you’ll love this

money well spent

Posted by Ethan on May 15th 2018

I got a 10/22 when I was 15 years old for Christmas and plinked and hunted with it every chance I got. As I got to be a more experienced shooter, I realized the trigger was horribly heavy and crunchy and long, so I didn't shoot it as much. I decided to send the aluminum group to Brimstone and, amazingly, brimstone had it back at my house in Alabama 8 days after it left. The trigger is fantastic: a smooth, light takeup and a Super clean break with hardly any overtravel and a quick reset. Love the work Brimstone did at a very affordable price and would send them another trigger in a heartbeat. Thank you Brimstone

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.
