Aust 10 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I noticed this is one of the mods R&R does I gues by straightening the trigger and bending it forward it gives a better feel Anyone tried it? I guess the only method would involve heating up the trigger and straightening it in a vice Surely the heat would affect the mechanical properties of the steel?

haugpatr 972 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Heat would affect the properties of steel, and don't call my Shirley! ETA: just realized the OP is from england, the don't call me Shirley line is from the movie Airplane, not sure if this movie would be known in England, very funny movie though.

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Theres more than one way to bend metal. Yes heat affects it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Odd Man Out 1,283 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 But what sort of force does it need to withstand? Pressure of a finger? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wade Pruetz 103 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 But what sort of force does it need to withstand? Pressure of a finger? Exactly, we have straightened several triggers and have never broken a trigger from use. These things aren't made of glass it is steel, I doubt Tapco hardens their triggers. What would be the point? The feel of the straight trigger is real nice, with a little work you can shorten the take up and over-travel where it feels just like a good AR trigger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 It's not going to cause any problems. On the 30'06 Saiga AK conversion that I did, the trigger was cut off it's base and rewelded in a more forward postion in order to get the reach length correct.
