10/22 Forced reset trigger or FRT ???

I have found a 3d printed lever that purports to be an active reset trigger for the 10/22 but it seems rather counter intuitive in design.

the way it works, is for the pin that secures the upper portion of the bolt hold open and the ejector goes through the front portion of it and as the bolt travels to the rear it rides on top of the lever pushing the trigger back to a reset position, and then as the bolt travels forward the lever is released allowing the trigger to be pulled.

unfortunately this design hinders bolt travel enough to make it non functional as far as I can tell, perhaps with just the exact amount of material on the lever, and precisely the right amount of pressure on the trigger it may in very limited situations barely work.

I am thinking someone has to have figured out a better way.
I am thinking there has to be a way to have the forward travel of the bolt cause reset of the trigger thus allowing less drag and higher likelihood of function.

does anyone have a 10/22 FRT that works and if so can you share the design?

thanks

That sounds like an interesting design, however I'm one of those visual brained guys & have to see an example or diagram. Wish I could help you on this one. I've played with & had some success in the past with several trigger re-set methods. I've done all the polishings regarding the re-set plunger, plunger bore, clipped/replaced springs, increased spring rate with the sear/disconnector spring, modified bobby pin trick, Rimfire Technologies re-set springs, and to top it off....I even used magnets opossing each other to re-set the trigger. I had success with all of them, but I now pretty much buy a KIDD Single Stage or a Kidd Trigger kit and stuff the kit in an aluminum housing. Always to learn other methods, though.

It looks like Franklin Armory has 2 or so it looks to me. They could use some text to go along with the picture at the link(s) but I see no text.

A binary trigger is different than a FRT Brian. They fire on pull and release. Same net effect though, speeds up rate of fire.

I don't think anyone makes a forced reset trigger for 10/22s.

Moving this over to NFA as a precaution. They're not federally regulated but a lot of states do regulate them.

Whoops! My bad. I thought they were the same (obviously).

Some of us grew up playing cowboys and indians with single actions so that is what we emulate with SASS. Others grew up with Stallone and Schwarzenegger so that is what they want to emulate with FRTs. Then the next generation grew up with laser guns and photon beams, they still play video games.

I can't afford to burn through ammo just to be shooting lots of rounds as fast as possible. Fun for me - hitting a 4" target at 300 yds multiple times in a row with a rimfire rifle is fun to me, given it is a personal challenge.

FRT or binary is not necessarily my cup of tea either, but I can see the appeal and probably would test-fire one given the opportunity. Different strokes for different folks. I'm sure some people would see shooting at a 4-inch target at 300 yards as fussy or boring, as well. Luckily we can all do what we enjoy, and let others do the same.

Thank God we're not all the same! Can you imagine how boring this forum would be if we were?

It's not my cup of tea either but I'll watch videos of other folks burning through ammo. Once Uncle Sam stopped buying my ammo I took notice and made every bullet sent count. Or I tried to.
