Anyone tried a full auto 10/22 trigger pack?

Seeking Advice on Full Auto 10/22 Trigger Packs

I’ve been delving into the world of Ruger 10/22 conversions lately, specifically regarding the full auto trigger packs. I’m really curious about the mechanics behind these modifications and the overall legality of owning such a setup.

Legal Implications

First off, what are the legal requirements for modifying a 10/22 for full auto operation? I’ve read conflicting information online about whether this is even permissible without special licensing. Anyone here who has navigated these waters? I want to ensure I’m adhering to all local and federal laws before making any moves.

Technical Specifications

Next, I’d love to hear from those who have hands-on experience with products like the Norrell trigger pack. How do they perform in comparison to standard triggers? What should I look out for in terms of compatibility with different 10/22 models?

Recommendations for Customization

Lastly, for those who have customized their 10/22s, what modifications complement a full-auto setup? Are there particular parts or accessories that enhance shooting performance and reliability?

Feel free to share your personal experiences or direct me to useful resources or forums where I can read up more on this subject. Any insights will be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I’ve been looking into full auto trigger packs for the 10/22. Just a heads up, they can be a legal minefield in the U.S. Make sure you understand both state and federal laws before considering one!

Absolutely, zhendricks! Some states are much stricter than federal laws. You could end up with some serious trouble if you’re not careful.

Legal issues aside, the performance boost with a full auto pack is incredible! But, as hbutler mentioned, you have to be cautious about compliance.

What kind of trouble are we talking about? Fines, or worse? I’m genuinely curious about the worst-case scenarios here.

John21, it can vary greatly! Typically, if you get caught with an unauthorized auto sear, the penalties can range from hefty fines to potential jail time, depending on jurisdiction.

And to complicate things further, some states allow for certain modifications while others don’t. It’s a patchwork of laws that you really have to navigate carefully.

So, does anyone here have personal experiences or know of legal sources to reference? It would be fantastic to have more clarity.

Yes! The ATF website has comprehensive info, and some shooting forums often have threads dedicated to these specific questions. Just tread lightly in discussions.

Also consider joining local gun rights groups. They often keep updated on laws and can provide support if needed.

That’s solid advice! Getting involved can really help clarify any gray areas you might have about legality.

On a lighter note, if you do go full auto, be sure to budget for extra ammunition… and ear protection! Haha!

True, jennifersanchez! I joke, but seriously, the sound of a full auto can be addictive—just make sure you’re legally sound before chasing that thrill.

It’s fascinating how the same modification can be legal in one place and illegal in another. Makes you appreciate the variety in our laws!

Exactly! It’s a real reminder of how diverse our nation is in many aspects. We need to stay informed to enjoy our hobbies safely.

I recently installed a full auto trigger pack on my 10/22, and it was quite a project! Make sure to have a good set of screwdrivers and a punch set on hand. I also recommend watching some tutorial videos first.

That’s great advice, Joseph! I agree that watching tutorials can really help. If anyone has additional tips or resources, please share!

When you’re working on the trigger pack, be careful with the springs. I lost one during my installation, and it was a pain to find a replacement. Also, keep track of every part!

Good point, Jennifer! Losing small parts can really set you back. What tools did you find essential for the process?

I found that a magnetic tray is invaluable for keeping track of screws and small parts while working on the 10/22. It saved me time and frustration! Have you guys found anything similar?
