[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 282240, member: 4191"] I purchased a Timney and had a gunsmith install and adjust it. Both the gunsmith and I decided it was a turd, and this smith had installed Timneys in the past. We couldn't get the creep out of it without it discharging when the bolt was slammed home. By the time the trigger was safe to use the trigger had to have a running start before it would break. Gunsmith said he could probably take it apart and improve it, but that the purpose for purchasing the Timney in the first place was to get a trigger assembly that was good to go with simple and straightforward adjustment. Perhaps I got a bad one. It will be the last bad or good one I ever use. I'd have been better off with the factory trigger. If you're going to set the trigger pull at 2 lbs or higher, maybe the Jewell won't impress. At some poundage, it's still going to take some muscle to break the trigger over. The Jewell is the only trigger I've squeezed that's amazed me, and caused me to buy another one just like it. [/QUOTE]
