My fairly early production, (5 digit serial number) Ruger .44 Carbine has a terrible trigger. Accuracy sucks, too. I had a very accurate walnut stocked 10/22 that had a trigger nearly as bad as the 44 Carbine.
If you are willing to glass bed the lug that holds the rear of the action and the fore end where the barrel rests so it’s stress free, it may help your accuracy. Float the rest of the action. I’ve done that to three of the Ruger 44s and all three would group from 1.5-3 MOA after that. Plenty for what they are usually used for. The best of the three was a 6 MOA gun before, and I won’t mention the worst, but the safest place around it was directly in front of it. That one had to be recrowned, too. Can’t help with the trigger, they suck.
