Description
xThe first forced reset trigger built specifically for the Ruger® 10/22® platform. NSPEC Innovations machined this from 316 stainless steel in the USA — designed to work across all 10/22 generations, trigger packs, and OEM-spec bolts. This is not a plug-and-play AR trigger. It is a precision rimfire upgrade for shooters who know how to fit and tune a trigger group.

⚠ Fitting May Be Required
Read Before You Buy — Fitting Required on Some Builds
Minor fitting and/or polishing of the FRT may be required depending on your 10/22 receiver, bolt, or trigger pack. This is normal for rimfire FRT systems and is documented with a full fitting video. If you are not comfortable with light hand-fitting of trigger components, this product may not be right for you. If you are — it runs exceptionally.
Jump to fitment & tuning guide →Overview
- ✓Works in all Ruger 10/22 generations — minor fitting may vary by generation, age, round count, and trigger pack
- ✓Machined from 316 stainless steel — corrosion resistant, hard-wearing, built for rimfire duty cycles
- ✓100% USA made by NSPEC Innovations
- ✓Compatible with OEM trigger packs, BX trigger packs, and OEM-spec bolts
- ✓Compatible with most 10/22 clones using OEM-style bolts and trigger packs
- ✓Forced reset mechanism — one round per trigger pull, mechanically reset by bolt travel
- ✓Recommended ammo: CCI Mini-Mag for optimal cycling reliability
- ✓Metal trigger shoe required — must be used with a steel reset lever; polymer shoe will not work
Polish for Best Results
NSPEC recommends polishing the bolt, hammer, FRT, and all parts contacting the FRT and hammer to a glass-smooth finish. This is standard practice for high-performance rimfire trigger work and dramatically improves reset feel and reliability. Not required to function — required to function at its best.

Recommended Parts — Not Required, But Worth It
The following upgrades are not required to run the 10/22 FRT, but they significantly improve performance and reliability — especially on high round count or upgraded builds.
Extra Power Hammer Spring
Ensures consistent primer strikes with harder .22 LR rounds and improves reset timing
Extra Power Recoil Spring
Controls bolt velocity for cleaner FRT reset engagement under sustained fire
Recoil Spring Spacer
Fine-tunes bolt dwell time — useful for tuning around specific ammo
KIDD .22LR Bolt Buffer (or similar)
Dampens bolt impact, reduces wear, improves cycling consistency
Hardened Steel Eagle's Talon Extractor (or similar)
More reliable extraction than OEM — especially important at higher cyclic rates
Extractor Spring
Maintains consistent extractor tension over extended use
Upgraded Firing Pin
Aftermarket firing pins typically offer improved strength and strike consistency
Upgraded Firing Pin Spring
Works with upgraded firing pin for reliable ignition across ammo types

Fitment & Tuning
The 10/22 platform has meaningful variation between receivers, bolts, and trigger housings across generations and manufacturers. Minor fitting is a normal and expected part of installing a rimfire FRT — not a defect. NSPEC provides a complete fitting video covering every adjustment task.
01
Profile Reset Levers
Shape reset lever contact surfaces to avoid housing drag or binding. A razor blade allows precision shaping of lever geometry. This is the most common fitting task.
02
Round & Polish the Bolt
Round and polish the underside and back of the bolt for smoother reset engagement. Use a sanding block, polishing pad, and file set. A glass-smooth finish here dramatically improves FRT feel and consistency.
03
Adjust Lever Timing
Dial in lever timing for a clean, tactile reset without extra trigger drag. This is the final tuning step — small adjustments here are the difference between a good FRT and a great one.
04
Polish All Contact Points
Polish the bolt, hammer, FRT, and all parts in contact with the FRT and hammer to a glass-smooth finish. This step applies to every build regardless of how little other fitting was needed.
Fitting Tools
Razor blade — precision shaping of reset lever contact surfaces
Sanding block — smoothing contact points and rounding the bolt underside
Polishing pad — final finish on all contact surfaces
File set — material removal where sanding isn't enough
These tools are not necessary in most cases — many installs require only polishing. They are listed for builders who encounter fitment issues.
Installation
Intended for experienced users familiar with firearm assembly and light hand-fitting. Improper installation can cause malfunctions. If you have questions about fitting, watch the NSPEC fitting video before starting.
Break-in period: Ensure your 10/22 is fully broken in and functioning correctly before installing the FRT. Installing on a new, unbroken-in firearm may have the reverse effect of what you're looking for.
Trigger shoe: You must use a metal trigger shoe when using the steel reset lever. A polymer shoe is not compatible.
Recommended ammo: CCI Mini-Mag .22 LR for optimal cycling. Bulk ammo and low-velocity rounds may cause cycling issues with any FRT system.
Safety & Liability
By purchasing or using this FRT, you accept full responsibility for proper installation and safe operation. Improper use may result in accidental discharge, serious injury, or death. The user assumes all liability for damage, wear, or malfunction resulting from installation or use. Installation by a qualified gunsmith is recommended if you are not experienced with rimfire trigger fitting.
