TANDEMKROSS & Brimstone Gunsmithing - ULTIMATE 10/22 Trigger Upgrade Kit - Installation and Demo

[@johnreacher3756]

Excellent step by step video. My advice is to install the post travel overtravel screw before doing anything else. By using this video, I have installed two of these kits. Just be patient. Bill is must more skilled at doing this procedure than any of us are. Also, be sure that the safety is off when reinstalling the hammer.

[@bobkeller8383]

Taking it apart I was thinking hell no. But....when you reassembled it I was saying I can do that. Thank you

[@adampurkey6565]

I could not have done that without this video the pin that u push slave pen out I had a hell of a time with that my hands are way to big it took me awhile but got it , it’s awesome works great

[@markbucher7609]

Outstanding video and step by step process. Makes me believe I could even do something like that! Thank you

[@trmn311]

I followed Bill’s instructions step by step and my new trigger went in no problem!

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Nice! I'm happy the video helped.

[@MarcJutras]

I just installed this following the video. It went "as seen on TV" until the pin holding the mag release dropped on its own. The only loose pin on my gun! Once I figured how to fix that, it was back to the video. Once I got the set screw on the trigger where I wanted it, I put drops of nail polish on it next to the back of the trigger to lock it there. It's an old trick I used to use when setting the rangefinder on old cameras. I love the result! The trigger feels pretty much like the one on a joystick! Almost like clicking a mouse!

[@TANDEMKROSS]

We're glad you're happy with it! The nail polish trick is a great one.

[@wrbruce6100]

I bought one of these kits and the standard 10/22 trigger sear pin will not go through the new sear on this kit. I tried three different 10/22 rugers and the sear pin on all of the rugers would not go through the new sear on the ultimate kit. So when it says it will fit all 10/22 rugers, I have three the kit won't work in.

[@Mo_feezy]

just did this install. have an issue where the sear hits the safety and doesn't allow it to slide over. any ideas?

[@MajesticReaoer8]

Same issue

[@Mo_feezy]

@@MajesticReaoer8 I had to send mine in, they got it working. downside is that now when the hammer is not cocked the bolt doesn't pull back. tandemkross said this is normal on a 1022 but it's the only one I own or have shot that has that issue. takes the joy out of it. will have to try something else.

[@vex3xd]

Great Instruictions and the trigger feels great!

[@cockroachdeloach5093]

So you are the freaking King of instructional videos.

[@randmayfield5695]

When removing stock from barrel-receiver assembly, make sure to center the safety button. It has to be centered or there will be a small interference issue.

[@rickdavis7141]

this can be installed on a cast housing with a modifying to the housing and trigger. I got the red trigger so I used a red sharpy to color the grinding marks. After learning all the problems with doing this i think it was well worth it. Just takes time. Drumel tool is a must. Anyone wanting to do this just reply to me and I'd be happy to assist you. Also make sure you locktite the adjustment set screw as a precaution. Common sense I guess.

[@joecool8315]

I just ran into this same issue, I’m assuming it’s because our model of ruger 10/22’s are older? I have the 10/22 carbine and it was my 1st gun as a kid, it’s at least 25 years old. Rick could you please assist and advise me if it’s not too much trouble? I really wanna keep this trigger and move forward with the upgrade. Should I use a precision compass the little V fork thing and or a digital caliper “micrometer” for getting the measurement and grinding it down with a Dremel and finish with sandpaper? How did you go about getting the trigger to operational specs? Thank you for your advice and time sir.

[@joecool8315]

What exactly would I need to do?

[@korsobalias]

Nice install Bill! Looks easy enough to do myself.

[@PocketGunsandGear]

Rather than the usual do it the way I've always done it, I followed your video Bill. I probably would have missed the function of the slave pin if I skipped the video. Overall, well done video. One comment would be to maybe add something in the video details on tuning the over-travel screw.

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Great feedback - thanks! And glad to hear the video worked well for you.

[@flyboytim2009]

Thanks Bill. My only suggestion would be a quick tutorial on adjustment of the over travel stop, including suggestions regarding Loctite application. Otherwise, complete and excellent video. 👍👍👍

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Thanks for watching and thank you for the feedback!

[@MarcJutras]

I applied drops of nail polish once the screw was set to my taste. Old trick from adjusting the rangefinder on cameras.

[@JustJayShooter]

GREAT job, guys, I’ a french, and your video was perfectly clear, everything simple and really understandable. Congratulations. 😃👍

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jamesdoss4212]

Make sure you have the safety in the off position before installing the hammer, that tripped me up for a bit. Also, had to put some gun oil on the trigger pin to get the trigger to move back and forth smoothly, and to reset without having to be pushed forward.

[@johnreacher3756]

I had the same problem. Somehow, the safety selector went to "On Safe".

[@leethompson8042]

great video was able to do it right along with you

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Glad it helped

[@curonianvikingidontcare]

Great tutorial!

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@johnhilsmeyer5916]

Thanks Bill! I LOVE these things...! The trigger pin was pretty tight in my housing but I managed to get it goin..Feels phenomenal, thanks again TK!!!

[@jmgaudreau1173]

How much pre travel should there be? I feel like mine as to much pre travel!

[@adamsteff7856]

Thank you so much for a thorough and detailed instructional video!

[@TANDEMKROSS]

You're very welcome!

[@richbattaglia5350]

Great video. The trigger is as if not more important than the optic.

[@TANDEMKROSS]

TRUTH!

[@richardkeene1188]

Nice video. Thanks. I think you convinced me to try one.

[@brianschmunk9490]

Whats the pull weight on this trigger

[@Whitchhunter666]

2.5-3

[@rickdavis7141]

Had problems with the the sear hole being to small for the stock pin to go thru. And after having a hell of a time to get the pin all the way I found my casting was interfering with it. I had to remove metal from the hole were the trigger goes into the trigger guard. Would I recomend this? If I knew these ahead of time yes. And one last thing I had problems with. My fingers are too fat That was easy enough to get around but the guy must have long thin fingers LOLI counldnt get my finger in side ways. My problems might have been from the fact that the gun is 32 yrs old. But I love it.

[@neitherheightnordepth2102]

Looking at the left side of the trigger pack there is a small spring and plug that diagonally rested against the rear of the stock trigger. It looks this trigger kit once installed doesnt have any use for this spring and plunger thing anymore? Not referenced in the video. Can you clarify please? Do i just remove both and discard?

[@Ironsight379]

Will it work in Thompson center T/C22

[@TANDEMKROSS]

No sorry, just the 10/22!

[@jamesbowskill362]

Hi there from the UK, great video & very clear instructions, However, as I live in UK is the kit available here & where from ?, plus, how much will it cost in RIP OFF Britain. .Appreciate your help

Please reach out to customer service for international stuff! Unfortunately we can't talk about it much here per KZbin policy.

[@Vlfkfnejisjejrjtjrie]

I'm sold!

[@campbondsteel]

My Ruger 10/22 is almost 30 years now. i have the origin factory trigger and to fix any play, i used shims. Do i need this shims again with this trigger ?

[@Robphoto37]

I have purchased the Tandemkross trigger, disconnect and sear. I cant get it to work in either a standard housing or a bxhousing. Is this because I don’t own the hammer too?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

We offer only 2 options: just the trigger, or the trigger sear and hammer. We do not ever sell without the hammer. Hammer will be required for operation!

[@n0148813]

I have one factory housing and one bx…not sure if I have the old. I can see the geometry of the hammers are different. Which is which?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

BX housings and standard housings are exactly the same, but the difference will be in the sear trigger and disconnector. The sear and disconnector will have "hubs" on the side. Those parts in the factory housing will be flat-sided. If you are using an old trigger housing back when they were aluminum, some fitting for our parts may be required. If your trigger housing is polymer, then there will not be a need for fitting.

[@n0148813]

@@TANDEMKROSS ok, I have one trigger housing where the hammer is significantly thinner at the pivot point and one where it is almost completely rectangular. Maybe that is an older model. Bought that one used probably 10-15 years ago. Thx.

[@bigshanemac14]

Great video! Thanks!

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Thank you!

[@zsdjr1]

uhhhh...not sure if i put the orginal spring back on. Which on is in the upgrade kit? The larger or smaller spring?

[@johnreacher3756]

What "original" spring are you talking about? There is a spring that pushes on a plunger (in the trigger guard of the frame). That spring does not get re-installed. All other springs that came out of the trigger assembly are re-installed. TK includes in the hardware kit an additional music wire spring with a single coil. That spring pushes back on the trigger to reset the trigger for another shot.

[@littlevillagepythons9636]

So I can just get the new disconnect and just the victory trigger to install in my bx housing? Don’t want the full kit just trigger

[@TANDEMKROSS]

You can just get the trigger and install it!

[@littlevillagepythons9636]

@@TANDEMKROSS Ok when I emailed you guys they said you do not make a trigger that fits the bx22 trigger?

[@johnreacher3756]

I'm guessing that there was some miscommunication between you and TK. The curved trigger shoe in the BX trigger assembly cannot be replaced with the TK flat faced trigger shoe by itself. The sear and the disconnector sit inside the trigger shoe, held in by pins in holes that are drilled through the trigger shoe. There are some differences in the geometry between the 10-22 stock trigger shoe and the BX trigger shoe. TK found out that only by installing the Ultimate Trigger Kit, (essentially getting a sear and disconnector to fit the flat faced trigger shoe) can you get a flat faced trigger shoe.

[@brentonasquith9462]

What is the stock used on this rifle? I love the look.

[@W4RZY]

Will brimstone start selling their regular upgrade trigger with that type of spring and overtravel stop so no drilling will me necessarily upon installation? If so I will buy one ASAP

[@mrBDeye]

How did the trigger become red? The package didn't have a red trigger.

[@tonyromano6220]

Optional upgrade.

[@jamesdoss4212]

It seems my old trigger spring doesn't have enough tension to reliably reset the trigger. Maybe there's too much friction between the trigger and the housing, do you have any suggestions?

I got it working by taking it apart and putting some gun lube on the trigger pin before pushing it back in.

Will the trigger shoe work with the standard sear? Or do I have to get a whole new trigger kit with new sear?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

The trigger shoe will work with the stock sear, and we do offer it separately from the rest of the kit.

[@McDAK6]

Will it or not work if you leave the stock trigger as is with the the rest of the TK parts?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

It will work as long as it's not a BX trigger.

Will theTandemkross Trigger work in a BUGARA BXR 10/22? Thanks

Unfortunately I don't know. We don't have one at the shop to test with.

[@gunjack66]

@@TANDEMKROSS Thank you. The BXR has a good break at about 2.75 pounds but has too much overtravel and the trigger is plastic.I believe I will still purchase one of the triggers because I have a charger that I can put it in if it does not work in the BXR. Very high-quality rifle other than the trigger. I got the one with the carbon fiber barrel. 👍🏼

[@BioBlaz3]

The KIDD trigger kit installation vid published by Kidd explains how to address that. Just watched it.

[@J.R.F.23]

Great product and video! I HAVE (2) QUESTIONS THOUGH... I previously installed a Volquartsen hammer and sear in my 10/22TD. First question is will your New Victory Trigger for the 10/22TD work with Volquartsen hammer and sear "or" the factory ones for that matter? Second question if question one is "yes"; will you be selling the New Victory Trigger for the 10/22 by itself without the hammer and sear? Your time and assistance is appreciated. P.S. I just installed the Victory Trigger and Blast Shield in my MK IV Competition model and absolutely love it!

[@Eclipsee412]

Why is this worth the $150? Not being a D, I really want to know.

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Light trigger pull, flat and serrated durable trigger as well as the other durable and reliable internals make for a long lasting trigger performance upgrade. Feel free to read the customer reviews here: www.tandemkross.com/ultimate_trigger_kit-ruger-1022

[@lukesmith3969]

I can say it is a huge improvement. Some trigger groups cost MORE than the gun. I refuse to buy a BX because ruger should be putting them in the gun to begin with
