[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1599762, member: 69192"] My experience with used triggers is that[B][I][U] you don't buy used triggers[/U][/I][/B] "just" for this reason alone. I have had two bad experiences with Timney triggers on my Ruger 77 rifles. One experience was with an old stock "new" trigger where the box was open, got a good deal on it off of Gunbroker, well that was $75 worth of junk. Someone had managed to get inside of the trigger and screwed it all up. So that savings of the "old used stock" added an additional $75 to the cost of the [U][I]new[/I][/U] replacement trigger. Lesson learned, "Don't ever waste your money on used triggers!!" The second experience was with a Ruger Hawkeye in .358 Winchester, and that one was my fault. There's a section on the Hawkeye trigger that you are supposed to file material off to get the proper sear fit. I've been to armorer's school and an armorer for many years, [U][I]so[/I][/U] I should be able to do this job right?
