The Timney Triggers model 10221C16 (also listed as 1022-1C-16) is a premium aftermarket single-stage replacement trigger designed specifically for the Ruger 10/22 rifle (and compatible variants). This specific model features a Calvin Hecker design, known for its refined adjustability and crisp break.
Key Features
- Pull weight: Crisp single-stage break at approximately 2.75 lbs (some listings note 2-3/4 lbs). This is a significant improvement over the factory Ruger 10/22 trigger, which is typically heavier and creepier.
- Design: Curved trigger shoe (black) with a silver/black two-tone finish. The housing is a one-piece CNC-machined 6061-T6 aircraft-grade billet aluminum.
- Internal components: Trigger, sear, and hammer are wire EDM cut from heat-treated steel for durability and precision.
- Includes: Trigger assembly with matching trigger guard (silver anodized).
- Installation: Drop-in design — no gunsmithing required for most standard 10/22 platforms. It is individually tested and calibrated by Timney.
This trigger is popular among plinkers, small-game hunters, and competitive shooters for its clean break, reduced overtravel, and overall improved feel and accuracy potential.
