A guy I was talking to claims that just installing a Power Custom hammer will lighten the trigger pull of a 10-22. Fact or fiction? I'm not a gunsmith but looking for the easiest(and preferably the cheapest) way to lighten the pull a bit.

The hammer alone ... no, however PC does make a drop-in kit that includes the hammer, sear, shims, trigger and hammer springs that really does drop the trigger pull to less than 3 lbs. ($60)

Volquartsen makes a kit for $41.70 that is basically the same except it does not include the sear and doesn't perform as well.

Iowegan, Thank you for the reply. Thought there might more to it than he claimed.

I must respectfully disagree. I've installed countless Power Custom and Volquartsen "Hammer only" kits with excellent results. Most of the triggers pulled at 5lbs plus prior and were reduced to 2.5- 3.0 after with just the hammer only kit. Many folks on these type forums believe the hammer "change out" is the first and best aftermarket item/procedure you can do! it's the best $30.00 American you'll ever spend on your 1022.
Further, I find the PC Hammer provides a slightly crisper pull but the VQ is slightly lighter.
With some prudent polishing of the hammer strut and sear you can get an even nicer trigger pull.
