Ruger 10/22 FRT Trigger, 100% USA made .22 forced reset trigger
Ruger 10/22 FRT Trigger, 100% USA made .22 forced reset trigger
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, 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.
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.

- ✓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

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.
Compatibility
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.
These tools are not necessary in most cases — many installs require only polishing. They are listed for builders who encounter fitment issues.
