I have a M1917 Enfield sporter that I plan to install a Timney trigger in. My gun is the six round version. I think this is the trigger I need to order http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=581285
(as soon as it is back in stock ) Just want to be sure I am getting the right one.
Is this trigger difficult to install?
For you M1917 fans (all three or four of you ) This is an Eddystone reciever gun in 30-06. The gun looks to have been rebarrelled to a two groove barrel at some point around WWII?
Bubba made an appearance later on. He shortened the barrel removed the sights, installed what looks to be a drop-in aftermarket stock and installed an honest to goodness old-school all steel Weaver K4 scope. I installed a cock-on-opening kit and the trigger pull is too light and unsafe. Just cock it and bump the stock on the carpet and...well...you know the rest. That's why I am getting a new aftermarket trigger.
I have no idea what to do with the gun. It is a training gun to practice refinishing both the wood and metal. Plus if I get rich and famous I can have the gun made into a 458 megashouldertrashereargisplittenloudenboomer.
Before I "fixed" it. The gun shot 1" groups at 100 yards with funky Remington 180gr green box ammo. After I replace the trigger I plan no other changes.
Thanks
