Putting one together and I do not want to pay Volquartsen, Kidd or Tandem prices.

Where can I get a lesser tier of bolt and trigger for the 10/22?  

I do not mind buying used, but I am asking about new stuff that I can order in this thread.   For this build I could literally buy a new 10/22 and strip the needed parts and still be under what Kidd and Volquartsen are charging for a trigger.

I think Ruger makes the parts you’re looking for.

What is the point of the build?  Can you build one cheaper than a new rifle?
9 lives - 9 pellets... Coincidence?

An inexpensive way to improve the trigger is to buy the target hammer for Volquartsen for $50 and polish the sear following this video:



I don't know how it compares to the Ruger bx trigger because I don't have one of those.
It was a large improvement over stock when I did it.

Kidd does sell just the trigger and hammer for $140 if that's in your budget.

Ruger BX trigger. I think CDNN has them for $75. Probably Ruger for the bolt as well.

Another consideration is picking up a BX, or older metal trigger and sending it to Brimstone tier 2 work  I have a Kidd and a BX with the Brimstone tier 2 workup.  The Kidd is a small bit better but almost hard to tell.  

As to a polished bolt Faxon has a nice one.
America is at that awkward stage, it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards....Claire Wolfe
