I'm building a variation of the originally 'clicky' 10/22 demo triggers (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=37757.0) that has an adjustable take-up and weight. This is an 'Appleseeders only' product and isn't listed on eBay (they are sort of a PITA to assemble.)
For an extra $10 above the basic price (total $45) I add a variable trigger weight and take up that are adjustable via set screws. The trigger weight varies from about 1.5 lbs up to about 5 lbs. This is intended for those who want to use the dummy trigger for dry practice as well as demo, and want a more realistic weight (the basic version runs about 1.5 lbs).
Here are some pics:

The set screws adjust with a 1/16" hex (Allen) wrench, which is included.
See the following post for more details.
I'm asking $45, shipping included. Contact me on the Forum at 'Nero', for Paypal or snail mail payment details.
The adjustable clicky trigger:

Looks the same as the usual clicky demo trigger, but notice that backing spring in behind the trigger itself:

If you look close, you can see a retaining pin sunk into the trigger to keep the spring in place. There are two adjustments:

Each of those holes conceals a set screw, adjustable with a 1/16" hex (Allen) wrench.
The upper one adjusts the amount of take-up in the trigger. The bottom one adjusts the weight, by changing the point at which the coiled spring begins loading. All the way out, you get about 1.5 lbs (no loading at all), all the way in you get about 5 lbs.
The trigger feel is not the most awesomest thing out there. While the clicker 'break' is still distinct, there's some stacking when you turn up the trigger weight, since you are loading straight into a coil spring for the added weight. You can get a bit of a two-stage effect by leaving some take-up room before the spring starts loading.
Anyone know if Nero is still making these? Also anyone have his contact info, he is inactive.
Thanks

He was selling them on eBay at one time.

In case anyone else is interested, his Ebay seller name is "mitnero". Here's a link to his page: https://www.ebay.com/usr/mitnero
