Sounds like youve knackered the sear and or trigger, hammer by messing with engagement angles.
All bits you should leave well alone when you dont seem to know how it all works.

You could try the installing the trigger group from the first one you did. If all works as it should, then buying a new trigger group could be a solution.

Yep did that today gun worked as it should, so going to change out the sear and hammer or might even buy a fancy new trigger group all done

Come on we all were young once...
Gotta start learning smithing somewhere.
There's a really good online publication on smiting 10/22s
Can't find it on phone, but will send u a copy when I get back to oz

I was witness to what happens when you take polishing/sanding materials to sears on 10/22.an army colleague of mine had a bit of a know all boyfriend who against good advice did this .on a practise shoot for a battalion competition K loads her wee ruger up ...........holy shit a burst of 10rounds down the range . our acting range controller took the gun over ,stopped all shooting and test fired again -same result 10round burst .gun was rendered verbotten on the pot ,on grounds it was too dangerous.
so called boyfriend made himself scarce later left her altogether in a very cowardly shiity way ..but thats enough of that story .
Ive got two 10/22 rifles -nobloody way would i even think about tinkering with triggers ,any triggers for that matter.better to ermpty wallet into tender hands of pet gunsmith.

Ah well now you know for next time eh.

Just an up date I didn't let it beat me and after working through a couple of problems the trigger works as it should thanks to those who offered help

Good to hear! What was the issue in the end, out of interest?

I had taken to much of the outside of the hammer so re ground the inside to get better engagement this worked well, created another issue when cooked and Safety on then pull the trigger the sear was dropping a bit low and would fire when the Safety was released, bit of weld on the bottom of the sear and done
