Ruger Announces the Launch of the BX-Trigger for Ruger 10/22 and 22 Charger Pistol

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) announces the launch of the BX-Trigger™: a light, crisp, "drop-in" replacement trigger assembly that is compatible with all Ruger® 10/22® rifles and 22 Charger™ pistols. The BX-Trigger is a Genuine Ruger Factory Accessory and is the perfect upgrade for all 10/22 rifles and 22 Charger pistol models because of the significantly reduced pull weight of approximately 2.75 pounds (versus 6 pounds on the standard 10/22 trigger).

"We have made continuous improvements to the 10/22 over the years, but the BX-Trigger is an exciting performance advancement," said Ruger President and COO, Chris Killoy. "The BX-Trigger was designed for easy installation, superior performance, and legendary Ruger reliability. Like the popular BX-25® magazine for the 10/22, the BX-Trigger will deliver the excellence and value that shooters have come to expect from Ruger."

The BX-Trigger is sold as a complete assembly that "drops in" to replace the existing trigger assembly, with no additional adjustment or "fitting" required. A video of the installation process can be found at Ruger.com/BX-Trigger

Beginning December 19, the Ruger BX-Trigger will be available for purchase directly from Ruger at ShopRuger.com or from local independent firearms retailers.

Sounds like a huge improvement, depending on availability & price !! :D :D :D :D

$89.95 from Ruger.... but I bet the bolt release is still the clunky funky wiggle method....
I'll probably order one... but it is a shame it takes Ruger this long to figure out the trigger on the 10/22 is awful and then their solution (which is a smart marketing idea I guess) is to sell you an after market part..... If they would put this trigger group in new rifles and just promote these to the millions of current 10/22 owners... that might work.

Ordered one...being shipped...looking forward to trying it

 

[blume357]

Ordered one on the day they were available and got an email the next day that it was back ordered.... ?

Truly a simple drop in installation (just watch all three pins to be sure they don't fall into "the black hole" in your work area).

 

[Durabledan]

I ordered early on the 17th. Got it on Mon. the 22nd.
Installed it yesterday but have not tried it out at the range.
The cheap trigger gauge I have puts it at just under 3#

 

[skeeziks]

For $15 more you can have a much better trigger at just under 2 lbs. with the Kidd "Trigger Job" Kit.
I can't say enough good things about Tony Kidd's 10/22 parts & accessories.

 

[jimd441]

skeeziks,

How do you know the Kidd Kit is much better?

Mine shot great at the range today!

 

[Yiddil]

I recieved mine and installed lickity split...have not shot it but if it does what it says Im good to go....People who have bought recently from Ruger had a special heads up from ruger to order in advance...by the time it opened to the public, mine was here and being installed:) Nice work Ruger...about the Tony Kidd's 10/22 parts & accessories, have not tryed them...but ruger has been pretty good so far...and why pay more???

 

[blume357]

Trying to figure out how Durable Dan ordered one on the 17th since they weren't available until the 19th.... at least when I went to the online store to look for them I could not find them until the 19th.... now it seems my order has fallen into that same black hole.... the holding pins on the trigger group often fall into.

 

[Yiddil]

have not used mine yet...a bit of weather to deal with...anyone using the new trigger who can review it here????How did it compare with the old standard model...comparison would be nice:))) Thanks in advance:) Henry AKA THE YIDDIL

 

[Yiddil]

They are now sold out at Rugers...but you can get one on ebay for double the price LOL NOT!

 

[blume357]

Mine came in last week.... (one month after ordering on Dec. 19th) and I've installed it in my Charger... because all my other 10/22s already have 2lb triggers.... as I mentioned the bolt release is still the clunky bumpy thing that drives me crazy.... and so I changed that part out for a modified part. The new trigger group does come with an extended mag release.

I'm interested for my 1022 Magnum. I called Ruger and asked if it would work in the 1022 Magnum. The lady said she saw some part number differences, and the question of the magnum was never addressed. She didn't think it would work and since they no longer support the Magnum, she didn't advise it. Only part number difference I could see in the assembly are the hammer spring, bolt lock, disconnector pivot pin. I know this is a drop in assembly and I won't be changing parts, I'm not sure the differences in the stock parts between both models is enough to say it won't work. Maybe some one here knows more that I do and can shed some light.
Thanks in advance.

The 10/22M has a different hammer spring (heavier) and a different ejector (longer), but you could just move both from your current trigger group to the BX. That would take maybe 30 seconds.

 

[pyth0n]

Thanks 9x19. I considered swapping the hammer spring and the bolt release I would change to the Volquartsen release. I didn't consider the ejector because they're the same part number (p/n) for both models. I will check the lengths to make sure. My LGS has one & I'll pick it up Monday, if it's still there.
Thanks again.

 

[9x19]

I may be wrong on the ejector... wouldn't be the first time. :oops:

 

[Yiddil]

Midways got um at great sales price of 69 and change ..got another for the custom sportier takedown this time?..spring is going to be cool...if ammo loosens up))))

I put one in my 1022 Magnum. I bought mine in 99, s/n shows it was made in 99 also. Trigger was terrible. I had a local smith work it over, but was never really satisfied with it and it sat in the safe until Ruger announced the BX. I figured, what the hey and bought one at my lgs for $75 out the door. Easy install and works great. Haven't measured the trigger weight but I'd say it's no more than 3 lbs. No mods or parts to swap to install it in the Magnum. Also installed the Volquartsen bolt lock. At the range it was fun to shoot and I went through 200 rnds without a hitch.

OK
Now that we you all pretty much have one of these triggers, including myself, doesn't it kind of piss you off that these are not on current production guns? I mean really what could the cost difference be between the old triggers and this one to produce?
I can see upgrading an older gun but anything coming off the line now should have this trigger in it.

 

[David_L6]

I guess this is OK but if I buy another 10/22 I'll probably just take the trigger group to Clark Custom Guns and have them do the same to it that they have done for me in the past. Cost is about the same as this new trigger group from Ruger.

Yeah, we kind of expessed that in another post on the same subject. Different company policy now regarding lighter triggers maybe? Money making upgrade? Just a swag.

I'm kind of hoping that maybe Ruger is using up their "old" triggers, and they will eventually be putting the BX-trigger into new production firearms.

Naive? Yeah, probably... :P

 

[Yiddil]

Well, I purchased another BX trigger for the second of two 10-22 takedowns I have. I would not want to tell ruger what to do...after all its their company, but maybe give people a choice of triggers...I am sure the new ones are fine, especially for the price compared to the other very expensive trigger groups out there, but I had no issue with the old ones either...they worked fine for what I was doing and I saw no reason to spend 249.00us on a new one. I was going to fire a new trigger next to an old one...but changed them both out...what's the compared feeling on these...by the way anyone need a trigger group...I have three extras...:)))

 

[mac23]

Is Ruger's new trigger all metal? What about Tony Kidds', is it all metal?

 

[Yiddil]

Well I finally shot with that BX trigger yesterday and found it a pretty sweet trigger for the money, compared to the standards...well I liked um both...I dont see a down side either way.

Midway outta' stock, don't know when they will get re-supplied.

Cabela's has them on sale for $69 in the store today......
