Installing A Timney Trigger in a US M1917 Sporter.
In the instructions, Timney says that some reciever metal may need to be removed to properly fit the trigger. The area in question is about 1/4" behind the sear slot. It is a gentle radius and looks like it needs to be made more like a 90 degree corner in order to allow the Tinmey trigger to seat properly.
OK, I don't have my garage set up properly yet. I can secure the gun properly but I only have small files, a couple of hand drills, some really good bits, the dreaded Dremel tool and enough motivation to be dangerous.
Any suggestions on how to approach this without buggering up the reciever?
I'd rather do the work myself. A gunsmith is a last resort. The gunsmiths around here have a 3-4 month backlog. Something like this could tie up the gun for years
And now for something completely different:
How does a gunsmith convert a two-stage military trigger to a single stage trigger and still keep the original parts?
Thanks
