Description
Anyone who has owned a Ruger 10/22 for a while knows the deal with the factory receiver cross pins. They get loose over time, and eventually they slide right out the second you tip the rifle on its side with the action out of the stock. Powder River Precision built these oversized pins to put an end to that. They are precision ground to run about .0015 inch larger than the stock pins, which is just enough to take up the slack and give your trigger housing a solid, no-wiggle fit.
What Sets the PRP Oversized Cross Pins Apart
These are machined from stainless steel, so they hold up for the long haul and give the receiver a cleaner, finished look next to the aluminum. Both ends are chamfered, which matters more than you might think. That taper lets the pin start straight and slide home without you fighting it or marring the receiver holes on the way in. It is a small detail that makes install painless.
Fixing the Slop on Your 10/22
That little bit of extra diameter does two jobs. It snugs the trigger group up against the receiver so nothing shifts when you pull the trigger, and it keeps the pins from wandering out while you are working on the gun. If you have ever chased a runaway cross pin across the garage floor mid-cleaning, you get why folks consider this one of the best cheap upgrades you can do to a 10/22. It works with the factory trigger assembly and plays nice with aftermarket housings too.
Install is straightforward with a 1/8 inch punch. Drift the old pins out, tap the new ones in, and you are done in a couple minutes. No permanent modification to the rifle, no drilling, no tapping. This set covers the two trigger housing cross pins that give most owners trouble, and it is a set-it-and-forget-it kind of upgrade for anyone who likes their build tight and rattle-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these PRP oversized cross pins fix the loose pins on my 10/22?
That is exactly what they are made for. Being ground about .0015 inch over the factory diameter, they take up the slack that lets stock pins rattle and fall out. They snug the trigger housing up so it stops shifting, and most owners find it cures the problem with the factory assembly.
Do the PRP cross pins require any gunsmithing to install?
No drilling, tapping, or permanent modification needed. You just drift out the two factory cross pins with a 1/8 inch punch and tap these in their place. The chamfered ends help them start straight and go in clean, so the whole job takes only a couple of minutes.
Will these oversized pins work with an aftermarket trigger group?
Yes. They fit the standard factory trigger housing and work with most aftermarket 10/22 trigger assemblies as well. Since they are sized to the receiver holes, they tighten things up regardless of which trigger group you are running.
Are the PRP receiver cross pins stainless steel?
They are, which gives them a clean, finished look against the receiver and helps them hold up for years of use. Stainless resists wear and corrosion better than plain steel, so you install them once and forget about them.
