Ruger Precision Rimfire

Not seen it myself, but another older thread here said they had to increase the trigger pull weight adjustment to prevent it from sticking.

RPR trigger problem

After finally getting my RPR to shoot with a Green Mountain barrel I have a new issue: sticky trigger release blade, part number 17 When I cycle the bolt into firing position, the "trigger release" blade locate inside the trigger is hanging up. i.e. it is sticky. I have cleaned the trigger...

I'd seen that too. Closer inspection its part # 14, likely damaged on install by ruger or bass pro with that rotary lock... on the fence about contacting ruger or just putting an aftermarket trigger in it

I have one and it is a significant improvement. I have had some issues with follow down after installing it but I think that is caused by the bolt not the trigger.

some issues with what?

@Oleshep are you saying you had issues with the firing pin dropping when cycling the bolt?

Yes it would not cause a discharge but it would require a recock of the bolt. Seemed to be worse after about 100rds from a clean rifle.

My smith worked on it and got it going. I attributed it to bad engagement between the bolt and trigger pack. I do not feel like it was a problem with the trigger pack, just the lack of QC in some of the bolt machining.

Fingers crossed I don’t have that issue

Do any of you know how to tell if you have a Gen 1 or gen 2 rimfire? I noticed the instructions for the trigger say to use the shim for gen 1 but I wasn't sure how to tell what I have..

Looked there but it doesn't specify anything on the generation. The model number matches current, for sale, model numbers but unsure if they would change the model number with each generation?
It does say "still in production", but again not sure if the Gen 1 would say "out of production" or not?
