Frequently Asked Questions
Will the BX-Trigger™ fit my Ruger 10/22 or 22 Charger?
Yes. The BX-Trigger™ fits all factory Ruger 10/22 rifles and 22 Charger pistols that use the standard Ruger polymer trigger housing.
How much lighter is the BX-Trigger™ compared to stock?
The BX-Trigger™ reduces pull weight to approximately 2.75 lbs, compared with roughly 6 lbs on many stock 10/22 triggers. Individual feel may vary due to rifle tolerances and shooter perception.
Do I need special tools to install it?
You don’t need special tools – just standard tools you probably already have. A hex driver or screwdriver for the action screw, and a punch or similar tool is all. Ruger’s installation video at Ruger.com shows the recommended steps. If you’re uncertain, a gunsmith can install and perform a safety check.
Is the red trigger shoe necessary?
Ruger includes the red trigger shoe to make BX-Trigger™ installations easy to identify. It also provides a tactile surface and a visual cue, but it does not affect the trigger’s mechanics.
Will installing the BX-Trigger™ affect safety or reliability?
When installed correctly in compatible Ruger actions, the BX-Trigger™ maintains factory safety functions and reliability. Always perform a function and safety check after installation and follow basic gunsmithing best practices.
