Description
The factory trigger on a Ruger 10/22 is one of the first things most owners want to replace, and Timney built this two-stage unit to fix that in about five minutes on the bench. It arrives as a complete, self-contained assembly, so you push out the two receiver cross pins, lift out the old group, drop this one in, and reinstall the pins. There is no filing, no shimming, and no gunsmith required. The whole thing is hand assembled, calibrated, and tested at Timney's shop in the USA before it ships.
What the Two-Stage Timney Feels Like on the Range
The pull is set from the factory with an 8 oz first stage that takes up smoothly, then hits a wall and breaks at 1 lb on the second stage. That gives you a defined, repeatable break with essentially no creep, which is exactly what you want for tighter groups at 25 and 50 yards. The steel trigger, sear, and hammer are wire-EDM cut and heat treated, and the housing is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, so it holds its tune round after round.
The Redesigned Mag Release Is a Sleeper Feature
People come for the trigger and end up loving the magazine release. Timney moved the lever back alongside the front of the trigger guard instead of way out front like the stock setup, so you can drop a mag with a flick of one finger. It works cleanly with factory rotary mags and BX-25 sticks alike. There's also an auto bolt release built in, letting you pull and release the charging handle to close the bolt without wrestling the little factory catch.
Fitment Notes for Your 10/22
This assembly fits any standard 10/22-pattern receiver and reuses your rifle's original three-position cross-bolt safety components. It also works in 10/22 clones like the Thompson/Center T/CR22. One install tip worth remembering: move the crossbolt safety to the halfway position before you seat the barreled action into the stock so it clears the inletting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a gunsmith to install the Timney 2-stage trigger?
No. This is a complete drop-in assembly, so you just push out the two receiver cross pins, remove the factory trigger group, seat the Timney unit, and reinstall the pins. Most people have it done in a few minutes on the workbench. A handy tip is to move the crossbolt safety to the halfway position before dropping the barreled action back into the stock so it clears the inletting.
What is the pull weight on this Timney 10/22 trigger?
It comes factory tuned with an 8 oz first stage and a 1 lb second stage, for a defined take-up and a crisp break with essentially no creep. Compared to the stock 10/22 trigger, which often runs in the 5 to 6 pound range, it's a night-and-day upgrade for accuracy. The weights are set at the factory and tested by hand before shipping.
Will this trigger fit my 10/22 clone or aftermarket receiver?
It's built to fit any standard 10/22-pattern receiver and reuses your rifle's original three-position safety components. It also works in popular clones like the Thompson/Center T/CR22 and fixes both the mushy trigger and the awkward factory mag release in one shot. If you're running a specialty chassis, it's worth confirming clearance since a few tight aftermarket setups can be fussy.
Does the extended magazine release work with BX-25 magazines?
Yes. The Timney-designed release sits right alongside the front of the trigger guard so you can drop a mag with one finger, and it plays nicely with factory rotary mags and BX-25 sticks. It's one of the features owners end up appreciating most after installation. There's also an auto bolt release built in for quicker reloads.
