Yeah, worse case, buy a cheap used 10/22 that's beat up and just use the use the receiver and whatever else is good and build it they way you want it.

I paid $170 for one, basic grey synthetic stock with dovetail scope mount and no sights. Built it up from there.

I ended up polishing the bolt and inner portion of the receiver on my tube fed Marlin Model 60 and it made a big improvement on the action.

Looks like that one is a pain to mod. It's a drop in trigger group and finicky, apparently. Unfortunately there are no aftermarket trigger upgrades and not many parts available. You got an eye for modding, so I would look for a decent used trigger group and try and mod it. I would just deal with it, since in sounds like it is normal, but that 5-6lb trigger pull is awful. lol. If you can figure it out and some way to ease the pull, a YT video would probably go viral. 😂

That's what I would do, but I'd find a used group to mess around with and keep the original the way it is. Sounds like the original is exactly the way it should be, and parts are becoming hard to find since no aftermarket.

Fine valve grinding compound laps in bolts nicely. Just be sure to take it apart and clean thoroughly.
I used toothpaste on my ruger american bolt.
Watched some TV and worked it a few hundred cycles.
Got rid of that zipper sound and its just like butter operating it. Has a minty fresh smell.
