I think it's funny how people always say "Glock Perfection" but almost everything gets traded out for it to operate better...😂

Truly amazing results!! I'm sure further polishing, lighter trigger pull, would perform even better. Great video, very interesting, and informative. Thank you for sharing. The results, too me, were amazing. Be Safe, and God Bless!

Found you on Rumble. Will switch back and forth between there and here to watch. Audio is ok, but the speaker on my device is substandard, so I can't give an accurate assessment of it. Nobody has better videos. 😉

Audio sounds great, I like it better than before. Very good range, crispness and interlegibility. The old scatter gun is coming along nicely.

It sounds good

Looks really nice!

Looks bad ass! The audio is slightly quieter but clear.

Btw, the bolt is heat treated hardened steel.

There’s a RIB on the bottom of the bolt that grabs a round and pushes in the chamber. The front, bottom sharp edge needs rounding because it drags on the bullet. That’s where you are getting shavings from. Chamfering the chamber is a worthwhile thing to do also.

You probably have the spring tension on the magazine too tight. I have lots of these magazines and any issue is due to improper tension, and yes I’ve had an issue with one from the factory not adjusted properly.

Can I offer some free advice? I’ve done over a dozen trigger jobs on these. 1) don’t mess with the sear except for polishing the top surface and the notch. 2) the notch or hook on the hammer, straighten that hook out a little at a time. Take a little off the rounded side of the hammer where it drags the sear. 3) put a #8 shotgun shell bb in the return plunger hole. Then you may need to take a little off the plunger to get it to reset. Take a little at a time and test. These things will result in a 2.5lb or less trigger with a nice reset. Nice video too.

Ehhh. When you move the sear down on the hammer, the effect is not from how you are explaining it. You are correct that it gets easier but that’s not why. The reason 1) the hammer notch is like a hook, when you change the angle of that hook, or notch, it’s easier to pull the sear out of it. 2) if you add material to the hammer, your partially disengaging the sear which in turn makes a lighter and SHORTER pull. But as you’ve probably found out, it gets dangerous the further you go because you could bump the gun and it might fire. Or in the best case, won’t reset.

Yall would be amazed at what polishing the friction points of the trigger parts will accomplish. Not just the sear and disconnector points of release. The sides of the hammer and trigger where they contact the housing, the holes that the pins go through and polishing the pins themselves. Also polishing the trigger return plunger and plunger hole. It can be accomplished with a cue tip on the end of a drill and some mothers. Just a slight polish will cause tons of grittiness to disappear and a smooth lighter trigger pull without having to buy aftermarket components and springs. Its a fantastic starting point and then if you desire more buy a kit…..

Should you hear the ejection spring tic back and forth in the reciver

It's unfortunately easy to find interference problems, like the ones you found on your 10/22, on just about all new guns. I go out of my way to work these problems out with stones, diamond files, and polish as required until snoothness is achieved. It's amazing how much the reliability increases on a smooth action. Especially on 22 handguns. Good video.

That's good if it was freehand

Thank you for the video. Please consider using manual focus so we can see the intricate details. Thanks again.

Hi mr. Nobody: I have (At least...) several different generation 10/22 rifles: Oldest from ~ early 1.990's to latest, a couple 50th Ruger's Anniversary (Stainless). I also purchased an stainless steel (Cast + machined) 10/22 'clone' receiver, (NO bbl, no bolt assy, no trigger group), so I fitted it with an old OEM 'new old stock' bolt assy, swapping it's firing pin for a Power Custom one, as well as hammer/ sear + their 0.0025" shims for most any moving part of said trigger group. Also, several Titanium parts included in the Power Custom kit. The outcome was far better than Ruger's BX trigger group, (~ 2+ lbs, very clean break Titanium trigger), not to mention I painfully stoned / lapped most any contact surfaces including hammer - sear. Topped it with a heavy fluted .920" Green Mountain 20" stainless bbl, that I fire lapped back then in 1.990's. Lster, in 2.07, out of curiosity I purchased a basic blued TCR22, (10/22 'clone'), and dissasembled my oldest Ruger 10/22, one 'mid generation' and one of the 50th Anniversary. Quite frankly, the very best OEM receiver is/was the oldest from the '90's, as well as it's bolt that looks like it's machined from an steel billet and almost any surface looks polished with little to no machining marks. Next, the 'mid Gen' from early 2.005, showing less attention to both receiver & bolt finish. The most crude bolt was/ is the 50th Anv., that looks like a cast chunk of stainless, (Several casting marks most any side, except the front, cleanly machined & polished). The receiver alloy looks not the same as the older ones, with rougher molding marks and less well finished. Then I compared to the TCR22 that's absolutely cleanly machined with NÓ casting mold marks at all, besides the very useful ~ .250" hole in the back of the receiver, so you can conveniently clean your bbl from the chamber. (Actually, I had a Gunsmith friend who already precision drilled & reamed said cleaning holes in all my 10/22s, years ago.). Regarding accuracy, my heaviest all- stainless 'Franken' 10/22 is the most accurate with most ammo: From bulk Thunderbolts thru Federal bulk HV, and best with Lapua (Correctly pronounced 'Lâh puah') Midas, bullets miked @ 0.2235". Best groups ~ 0.25" @ 70 yds, (Almost as good as my Anschutz bolt action/ double set trigger Custom Sporter based on their Match 54 action). Then I disassembled my new TCR22, cleaned any factory lube / protective oil, etc, then installed a new Nikon 3X- 9X 40mm on its integral Picatinny rail, sighted it in, plinked with some 200 rds, (No issues whatsoever), and test fired for accuracy, hoping it's shorter 17" bbl was at least as accurate as my 'best' Ruger, with very interesting results: NO ftf nor jams nor fte. (Both with it's ONLY original magazine and a bunch of Ruger OEM magazines, a couple BX.25 included. Groups with bulk Thunderbolts @ 70 yds, from 0.78" to 1.21". Federal Automatch bulk, same distance: from 0.45" to 0.85". Lapua Midas from 0.30" to 0.58". (Factory trigger is a little gritty, ~ 5+ lbs, and NOT as crispy as I expected. Most likely I'm gonna carefully stone a couple surfaces and try it again). Only had a couple issues: Since Midas ammo is somewhat 'soft' (Subsonic), there were a couple times the hold open device of the TCR mag didn't work. Am I running to sell out my several Ruger 10/22?: Nope!!. Is the Thompson Center TCR22 an great value for the ~ $340 bucks I paid?. Compared to my last (2.015) stainless Commemorative Rugers??. A definitive YES!!.

I bought a Dawson guide rod for $99 to replace one I bought from someone else. I got a very nice email from Dawson, thanking me for my purchase. I bought it for my Springfield Prodigy that has the worst guide rod and gun parts in general that I have ever seen on a $1400 pistol. Perhaps Dawson, 10-8 and EGW should get together and build a Prodigy that actually works. I have bought all these products to make my Prodigy work as well as a factory Glock.

good vid...

those electronic wheelers are garbage, the speed you pull affects the weight reading, if you pull faster you get a lower reading.the cheaper mechanical one is much more consistent

I scrap the feed ramp with my knife and spray the mag real good with break cleaner or starting fluid been doing that for 40 years have never had to take one apart.

You just earned a sub!

I add Talon grips to all my firearms. Also swapped out my barrel for a ported one. Shoots really flat.

Sorry this question is about the Prodigy, my optics plate keeps coming loose do you have any ideas for that

lol, get a bigger maul!

I've built so many Gen 3+4 Glock 17+19 guns, 80% and other, that all of this is very familiar. I'd just like to buy a gun where all this isn't necessary. That's just how guys like us do it though isn't it?!? Tinker tinker tinker...😂

GREAT VIDEO VERY HELPFUL INFO HOWEVER ONE QUESTION WOULD EVERYTHING YOU DID HAPPEN ON IT'S OWN OVER TIME DUE TO WEAR FROM USEING THE GUN LIKE A BREAKING OR SO AND AS LONG AS YOU CLEAN THE GUN AFTER USEING IT THE GUN WOULD ONLY GET BETTER AND BETTER OVER TIME RIGHT OR WRONG . ONCE AGAIN GREAT VIDEO

What kind of rod did he use to clean his rifle

You could ask a lot from a 10/22. The right mod will yield you good results 👍

The 4.2 Prodigy ships with a 18.5 lb. hammer spring.

I contacted Springfield Armory and they stated the gun ships with a 12 lb. recoil spring.

Thanks for the video..If I didn't have a roof in my house my main spring housing spring and plunger would still be on its way to mars. 🙌

Thanks for the video...I'm going through this right now with my 14 yr old german shepard. She's my dawg.. 😢 I recently just adopted a 8 month old Malanois and it has givin her a new spark..but she still struggles to get up and down the stairs and has the same issues with her back legs. She wants to run and play but can only do it for short sessions..she is also a lake dog...she used to jump off the rocks into the water after the ball but now she cant anymore. I wish dogs lived longer..😭

I’ve owned one changed the trigger shoe and put a rise armament spring in it and comp radian ramjet no polishing smooth shooting I put 1500 rounds through it no issues this is unnecessary

Some people just can't leave well enough alone.

Great tips. Do you have any links for the Arkansas stone & diamond stone that you prefer to use?

You can get rubberized polishing sticks for really fine detail, they come in different sizes and shapes.

if you want to keep your reliability for the love of all, don't do any of what this guy is saying.

Great explanation of the work you did thank you so much for this awesome video.

Love the video!

if you have a timney aphpa trigger laying around I would love to know if that works.

Glen Zediker was doing this years ago. But used red loctite.

Outstanding video!! You gave away all of the secrets that people charge big money for and no one else ever discusses. Very enjoyable. After several hundred rounds you know that will be the slickest RXM in existence.

Interesting work. I'm glad you didn't cut the bloopers out of your video. They prove that you are indeed human.

Saving this video for later

I'm able to find all the parts you're using but where did you get the Magic Towel?

Thank you for you awesome video great job !!

Thanks for the great explanations of what you were doing!
