[QUOTE="zog, post: 1914807, member: 102742"] I also had a problem and got a full refund: My email to Timney: "[I]Winchester 70 401-16*2.0 I wish to return this trigger. It was a very tight fit, requiring a lot of force on the trigger body to fit the slot. Wesley helped me resolve this on the phone, but it still did not feel like it was going in as intended by design. I also had to enlarge the front pin hole on the trigger body with my hand drill to accept the Win factory front pin. The factory pin and slot were apparently not quite the same as other Win Model 70’s. However on finishing the installation, I am unable to make the trigger operate properly. The bolt slam-fires even when trigger is set to 2 lbs. This is likely due to Winchester inconsistencies, not poor quality on Timney’s part. Nonetheless it is a trigger I cannot use. I have three rifles with Timney triggers and they are all great, but can’t use this one. Please advise on how I can return this trigger. Thanks"[/I] Timney's reply the next day . . . [I]"Perfect, go ahead and print this attached form out and send it in with the trigger. We will take care of it once it has been received in our facility. Thank you for your kind words, your feedback and your continued support. Megan Downey Customer Service"[/I] [/QUOTE]
