Couple of years back I acquired an original mid seventies 10/22, meaning that all of it's parts are original to it. Decent shape, no signs of abuse or modifications...doesn't appear to have seen much use...
and the trigger sucked; 10 perhaps 15 pound jerk needed to discharge it sort of suck.
So while giving some thought to a replacement (Volquartsen hammer or Kidd, maybe a new sear too ??) I started looking at why the stock trigger was so awful.
One thing led to another and in a moment of apathy I took a jeweler's file to the sear indent on the hammer and relaxed the angle of the cut. The pull is right at 2 pounds now and both hammer, sear and hammer spring indent have been polished to a hard shine.
Question: Did I go too far? Is there something I should be anxious about?
