    The 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, match grade 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.

    ✓ 100% USA Made ✓ 316 Stainless Steel ✓ NSPEC Innovations ⚠ 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.

    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. Get a match grade trigger is highly recommended for optimal performance. 
    • 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.

    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.

The user assumes all liability for damage, wear, or malfunction resulting from installation or use.
