Thread: Bergara bxr (10/22 clone) light strikes, trigger upgrade?

Hey fellas
Bought a brand new Bergara BXR on special from guncity a couple of weekends ago. Bought as much different subsonic ammo as I could find to try (6+ types) and although some better than others all of it would give light strikes for a given mag - I think CCI standard set the record with a best of 9/10 going bang.

Bit of forum reading it seems like light strikes is something that (some of) these guns do and couldn't really be bothered having guncity on about it so thought I'd have a tutu myself instead. I read that sometimes the firing pin return spring is too strong and reduces the smack of the hammer so took a few coils outa the spring - still lots of light strikes. I also read that a trigger group swap has fixed the issue for others - I don't really like the trigger as it is and would like to upgrade anyway so leaning towards that solution unless anyone has any other ideas?... I did pull the Bergara trigger to bits and is a bit different to the standard 10/22 inside.

Also if I do put a new trigger in it, anyone know where I can buy a Kidd single stage in NZ? Seems like that's the trigger everyone loves but no-one seems to sell them here...

Thanks
