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!

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.

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

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!

19

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?
