Trigger work is back! Thanks for your patience! 
 
 
This is a trigger job on YOUR trigger group!! You are not buying new parts here. You check out, ship us your group, and we will work our magic on it and ship it back. 
 
Seriously. We aren't shipping you a new group. You laugh, but at least five people a month do not read this. 
 
(Okay, if you ALSO purchase a new trigger group from us and select 'Yes please do the trigger work I also purchased one this group,' obviously we are going to do the work and ship it back to you. But... that does not apply to any of the folks who don't read the disclaimer...)
 
 
The Tier 3 Trigger Job
We believe in giving you accurate 'bang for your buck.' This trigger work was never intended to cost more than the original rifle, but... if the original rifle had this trigger, we would never have had a job reworking all these triggers! 
 
This trigger job uses all factory parts. This is good if you are wanting to put together a 'sleeper' rifle, making it look bone stock. The downside is that the factory parts have some fundamental geometry issues that you can't overcome with any amount of polishing. Namely, the hole for the trigger return spring and plunger are drilled at an angle in relation to the trigger. This means that as soon you begin to pull the trigger, the trigger return plunger is going to bind in its hole and, no matter how shiny you make it, it's going to negatively impact the trigger feel. Not saying that anything is going to feel 'mushy,' but the pretravel will not be as light, nor will the 'wall' be quite as crisp as on a Tier 2 where we have our billet trigger and new trigger return system. But, this will be a solid step up from a Ruger BX trigger, for example. And less money too, which never hurts. 
 
End result, this trigger will have a vastly lighter and smoother pre travel. We can't promise that it will be perfect, especially if you're sending in an older aluminum trigger, but it will be vastly improved and on a polymer group, it will probably be perfect, if slightly heavier than on a Tier 2. There should be a good solid wall, with a clean glass rod break. The trigger will still have all the overtravel that the original trigger had, but the reset will be smooth and positive. 
 
Again. No one would drop this trigger in a $8,000 benchrest gun. But you're going to get it back and the odds are great that you will never feel the need to upgrade it again. We have done tens of thousands of these triggers over the years. A super solid upgrade for your firearm without breaking the bank.  
 
 
Pull Weight
We only offer the 'Sweet Spot' trigger pull weight now. This is where your trigger naturally wants to be. It will be between 2 and 2.5lbs. After 13 years of doing this... I'm done trying to convince a trigger to go somewhere it doesn't want to be, which always hurts the reliability to boot. 
 
 
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.
 
On all of our trigger work, we modify this so that 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 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.

    Gr8ly Improved Trigger, workmanship minor annoyance

    Posted by Will H. on Nov 11th 2020

    Love the trigger, light & crisp. A vast improvement. However, this was from my 1st year International 10/22 which was sent in as a virgin,. No marks, scratches or scrapes. It returned with tool marks & skid marks on housing where drilled.... not a big deal as nothing shows when rifle assembled, just the idea of it all

    NICE!

    Posted by Steven MJ Kaczmarek on Oct 2nd 2020

    I haven't put this in the gun yet and or fired it, but it seems that it will be a high performance trigger. Got a note telling me it is breaking at 2 pounds even. I pulled the trigger on it a few times (did not dry fire it), and feels just like the glass rod break they promised. Awesome! Brimstone rocks!

    Tier 1 (Advanced) Ruger 10/22 Trigger Work

    Posted by Mike on Sep 27th 2020

    Got to try out the Tier 1 Ruger 10/22 Trigger Work this weekend.... It is absolutely terrific... I now have a flawless trigger with all the improvements Brimstone needed to make the RUGER Pistol Assembly, worth the name Ruger. I was not pleased with Ruger, that they allowed the trigger assembly to be so flawed. Now my Ruger 10/22 Carbine rifle the best it can possibly be....Thanks to Brimstone Gunsmithing... Well worth the money... totally pleased with the results.

    Sloppy job.Two drill holes, safety button

    Posted by Luis Sanchez on Sep 13th 2020

    Sloppy job. My trigger came back ugly with holes drilled on the back. My safety button doesn't work great anymore. I have have to mess with the bolt action for it to function properly. (Reply: Hello! If you're having issues with your trigger, I hope you also followed up via email/phone call. We don't want anyone to be unhappy with their work. However regarding your complaint here, we make pretty clear that we are adding a couple of set screws; that's kind of the whole point, and they are clearly visible in the pictures. And 'Having to mess with the bolt action' to get the safety to work, it sounds like you're saying you have to cock it before you can put the safety on, which is true of every 10/22 ever made. Hope that helps! -Brimstone)

    Tier 1 10/22 trigger

    Posted by PATRICK GEHRINGER on May 8th 2020

    As usual, Brimstone mad my factory trigger into a high end trigger. One thing I missed that I've received on previous jobs was a note explaining the work- which included measured trigger pull on previous work.

    Tier 1 Ruger Trigger Work

    Posted by Chris on Apr 7th 2020

    We sent our trigger in for the Tier 1 Trigger work with the sweet spot option (ended up at 2 lbs 0 oz), and the wrap mag release. We also have a Tikka TX1, and this new trigger might just be a touch nicer. What an amazing job, words cannot honestly describe how happy we are. No creep, perfect break, and gorgeous reset. Forget anything else, and not just for the money. Thank you Brimstone, we love our Ruger again! Three week turn around.to boot from Canada.

    Fantastic work!

    Posted by Kyle on Jan 10th 2020

    This trigger work is superb! I have felt Triggers that were a little bit lighter on a pull gauge (I selected sweet spot), but the feel of this trigger makes it so much better than even the respectable 2.0 lb measure. The take-up and over travel are perfect, and there is virtually no perceptible movement before “the wall.” Highly recommend!

    Tier one trigger

    Posted by Aaron Patterson on Oct 14th 2019

    It took 6 weeks but I wasn’t in a hurry and it was definitely worth the wait. There is absolutely zero creep and it breaks at 2 lbs. I’m extremely happy with it. Additionally I messed it up somehow when I got it and they spent 30 min on FaceTime with me walking me through disassembling and reassembling the whole trigger.
