| Jard makes the best that I've used, and, yes, they take about an hour to install for someone that is familiar with a #1. Probably more like 1.5 for a first timer.
Their instructions are decent, but don't have pictures. Having a parts blowup of the Ruger #1 is good to ID each pin and part as you go. It is more involved than a Rem 700 trigger swap.

| Ill second the Jard recommendation. I just bought 4 of them. Installed one. Not too hard. Easier with small hands.

| Jard is an excellent replacement. If u get one I would not follow their install instructions, which involve driving out the hammer block
safety bar pivot pin. That pin would not budge on my rifle and others have reported the same situation.
Instead remove the breechblock (there are videos on how to do this). You can then insert the trigger without having to drive out the pivot pin.
Note: I wrote to Jard about this but they have not changed the installation instructions. |

| That pin does need to be removed You need to support the action frame in order to remove it!

believe me, it doesn't. i pounded on that damn pin like a rented mule and it wouldn't budge. i called JARD, talked to DEAN, he switched me over to KENT, who developed a way to get the trigger in 30 seconds WITHOUT taking that damn pin out. not pinned etc, but in place. he also has taken pics of how to do it and emailed em to me as he walked me through it. rifle is now reassembled and has a great trigger. super nice guy.if anyone wants the pics he sent me PM me and i'll fwd em to you. |
