Special Features
- The self-contained trigger housing encloses all internal components in a single unit that installs and removes as one piece, eliminating the loose spring and small part management that complicates traditional trigger replacements and making installation and removal equally clean and fast
- By reusing the factory three-position safety components, the 642C retains the full bolt-lock safety functionality that Gen II Ruger American owners depend on in the field, preserving the three-position manual of arms the shooter is already trained on without any modification to the safety system
- The fully adjustable pull weight range of 2 to 4 lbs is set via an internal adjustment screw and allows the shooter to dial in the exact break weight suited to their application, from a lighter 2 lb setting for precision target and long-range work to a firmer 4 lb setting for hunting in cold weather or heavy gloves
- Precision machined from premium materials at Timney's USA facility, the 642C delivers the crisp, consistent break and minimal overtravel that Timney triggers are known for across all of their centerfire rifle platforms
Practical Benefits
- The 642C directly addresses the most common complaint about the Ruger American platform, a factory trigger pull that is serviceable but not competitive with dedicated precision or hunting triggers, and does so without altering the rifle permanently or voiding fitment
- The no-gunsmith drop-in design means the upgrade can be completed at home with basic tools by following Timney's installation video, with no action work, bedding, or fitting required
- Hunters running the Ruger American in any centerfire caliber benefit from the lighter, more consistent pull when taking field shots at game, and precision shooters working on long-range accuracy will notice measurable group improvement from the elimination of trigger pull anticipation
The Timney Triggers Replacement Trigger (642C) is a solid fit for any Ruger American Gen II centerfire owner who wants a professional-grade trigger upgrade with adjustable pull weight, retained factory safety function, and drop-in installation that delivers immediate, measurable accuracy improvement.
