I purchased a 10/22 that happens to have the sweetest action and trigger pull I've ever felt on a rifle. I know the trigger, hammer, and sear can't be factory on it. Can someone look at the markings on the trigger group housing and tell me if it's factory Ruger or another aftermarket maker? I saw these markings, and I'm assuming the whole group is an aftermarket, but I don't know the brand. Thanks.

nope you got stock

i know it suprised the hel outa me too, haha. i think the 10/22 triger is short and sweet:)
 
It's not necessary to swap out the entire trigger group on the 10/22 to get a good trigger, just one or more internal parts (such as the hammer and sear). The only thing visibly non-stock in your photo is an overtravel screw in the trigger. That might indicate other goodies within.

Enjoy your rifle!
 
E-mail the pic to Volquartsen. If it's not theirs, then they'll probably know enough about the competition to recognize it.
 
Just took a look at the trigger group of my 10/22 (with factory trigger group). From the outside the only visible difference is the overtravel screw in your trigger. If there is an overtravel screw, it is likely that there are internal changes that are also responsible for that nice trigger pull.
 
Try also RimfireCentral.com for a whole bunch of 10/22 advice, tips, tricks & general knowledge. The fine folks there will probably also be able to I.D. your action.
 
The trigger housing is the stock one. The trigger itself looks similar to a Power Custom (which, IMO, is just an OE trigger that they install a set screw in) except the placement of the set screw is slightly higher than the one I have in one of my trigger assemblies. Quite posible it is homemade.

Edit. I take that back. Can't remember whose trigger I have.

Edit2. It's a Clark.

My trigger looks original on the outside but I replaced the hammer and hammer spring. You would have to take the rifle apart to see if there are aftermarket parts inside. A 10/22 with a good trigger is a wonderfull thing.
 
yep thats a factory housing, but the trigger is aftermarket. Probably a power custom. you can see the overtravel screw.
 
Codes like that are usually there to tell the year/mo/day of manufacture, etc. My older 10-22 doesnt have any of them, but if you look at many consumer goods, they will sport similar markings. Also- I've seen great improvements in the 10-22's by replacing the hammer and sear with Clark or Volquartsen components.
