The factory Ruger 10/22 is a fantastic little rifle, but the trigger has never been its strong point. Straight from the box you're usually looking at a gritty pull somewhere north of 6 pounds. Swap in the Volquartsen 10/22 Drop-In Hammer and that same rifle transforms into a smooth, predictable trigger that breaks right around 2.5 to 2.75 pounds. It's one of the easiest and most rewarding upgrades you can make to a 10/22, and folks who've done it consistently say it feels like a whole new gun at the range.
The magic here is in the geometry and the machining. This hammer is precision EDM cut with a mirror-polished sear face and a precision-ground sear notch, which is what takes the creep and grit out of the pull. It's made from hardened steel at a Rockwell hardness of 58 to 60, so the sear engagement holds up over thousands of rounds without wearing soft or losing its crisp break. Volquartsen has been refining this design for decades, and it shows in how consistent the results are gun to gun.
True to the name, this is a drop-in part. No stoning, no fitting, no filing on the sear. You knock out the trigger group, swap the old hammer for the Volquartsen unit along with the included springs and shims, and reassemble. The shims are a nice touch since they take the side play out of the hammer for a tighter, more consistent feel. If you can field strip your 10/22, you can handle this job in an afternoon, and there are plenty of walkthrough videos if it's your first time inside the trigger housing.
This hammer fits the standard Ruger 10/22, the 10/22 Magnum, and the Thompson/Center T/CR22. Pair it with a Volquartsen target trigger and you've got a genuine target-grade setup that turns a plinker into a tack driver. One thing worth knowing: this is meant for the standard factory trigger group, not the Ruger BX-Trigger.
Most factory 10/22 triggers break somewhere around 6 pounds or more from the box. With this Volquartsen hammer installed, you'll typically land in the 2.5 to 2.75 pound range with a much smoother, cleaner break. Results vary slightly rifle to rifle, but nearly everyone who installs it reports a dramatic improvement in both weight and feel.
No. This is a true drop-in part that requires no stoning, filing, or fitting. If you're comfortable removing the trigger group and swapping the hammer with the included springs and shims, you can do it yourself at home. There are plenty of step-by-step videos online if you want to follow along.
It will not. This target hammer is designed for the standard factory Ruger trigger group, not the BX-Trigger. It fits the standard 10/22, the 10/22 Magnum, and the Thompson/Center T/CR22.
You get the Volquartsen target hammer along with a hammer spring, hammer bushings, hammer shims, and a trigger return spring. The shims are especially handy since they remove side play in the hammer for a tighter, more consistent feel. It's everything you need to complete the swap in one package.
