CMC Triggers 64701 Drop-In Ruger 10/22 Black Curved Trigger - 3.5 lbs Pull Weight

The CMC Triggers 64701 drop-in Ruger 10/22 curved trigger is purpose-built to transform one of America's most beloved rimfire rifles into a precision shooter's tool. If you own a 10/22 and have felt frustrated by the mushy, vague break of the factory trigger, this self-contained trigger pack delivers the crisp, predictable release that serious rimfire competitors and casual plinkers alike demand. Installation is straightforward—it drops in without gunsmithing—and the 3.5-pound factory preset pull weight hits the sweet spot between control and speed.

What sets the CMC 10/22 trigger apart is the obsessive manufacturing process behind it. CNC-machined from a single billet of aluminum, every critical sear surface is finished to a proprietary specification that eliminates the pitting and inconsistency found in mass-produced alternatives. That precision translates to a glass-smooth break with zero creep, minimal lock time, and a repeatable reset that lets you stay on target shot after shot. The curved trigger bow (CCT design) suits shooters who prefer a traditional finger angle, while the ambidextrous magazine release paddle and redesigned bolt hold open button with auto-drop function make field handling faster and more intuitive.

Built from 8620 alloy steel and S7 tool steel with tolerances held to ±.001", this is a trigger engineered for durability and consistency across thousands of rounds. Whether you're zeroing a new rimfire scope, competing in a match, or just enjoying a day at the range, the CMC trigger removes a major friction point between you and accurate, enjoyable shooting. It's the kind of upgrade that makes a modest rifle feel like a serious platform.
