Test Pilots Required

Post by shane »

Hey guys, I am currently looking for a couple of test pilots to my some new triggers im making.

Only in the prototype stage atm, so would like to send a couple out for a field test before i make the first batch.

These triggers are 2oz. match triggers to fit Brno model 2's and the like. I am also making ones to fit sako rimfires and tikka centrefires. The sako/tikka trigger is fine its the brno version i need testers for.
I would like to have these triggers tested in current model brno/cz's and old model brno's if possible, by shooters that can give them a good workout over the next couple of months. So that would mean they need to be shot on a regular basis eg once a week at local shoots etc.
If anyone is interested in doing this let me know and send me the basic details of your rifle eg, factory, bench etc.

These triggers will require some modification to the stock in the trigger area to fit, mainly the rear of the trigger inlett. On factory trigger guard rifles you will need to alter or remove the small steel plate the trigger fits through.
Anyhow if interested or have questions let me know. (post here and we can email if required)
cheers,
Shane

Hi Shane

I have a middle 80's model 2, pretty much stocko more for hunting but happy to give it a whirl and put some trigger time in. Although sounds more of a target trigger. I have installed the spring and shim for an improved trigger so far.

G'day Shane,

I am adamant Leanne would take you up on the offer of trialling your new trigger.

The rifle is a Bruno that you did some work to, i.e rebarrel with a Lilja and trued the action. The rifle is shot weekly in Club.

Regards

Shane if this trigger fits a CZ452 I would like to try/purchase one for a new rimfire build I am looking at.
Let me know if it would fit/price etc.

Hey Chappo, yes mate thats the plan, dont forget to bring you stock and bottom metal mate.

Ryan, it maybe a little light for field work mate, when i test the top end of them i will let the field shooter know what they can go up to. With a spring change it shouldnt be a problem.

Sean, yes Leanne's would be a good test platform, i will send one up when ready.

Yes Tim it will fit, will speak to you on the weekend if your down.
cheers,
Shane

Ron what did I tell you about the frog.

If you want to get to the trigger you are going to need a steam iron!!!
