Hello,
These pare pictures of my roller trigger prototype. I'm confident it operates in public domain (as does everything I make!) due to the Finns' use of something very, very similar on the M39.
True Drop-in Fit
This prototype trigger follows in the tradition of the Finnish M39 pinned trigger. The differences are that the Finnish trigger does not have the overtravel screw and is two-stage.
The production trigger will not have such an obvious relief, but a small one will remain to eliminate sear pre-load.
This one is single-stage and will shorten takeup and overtravel. It will also very noticeably reduce the gritty feel of the trigger that is present regardless of the amount of polishing done. An 8lb trigger pull feels like a 5lb trigger pull using this.
________________________________________________
I like the way the people of this board give frank and honest opinions.
I currently do have one of these, not so fancy and closer to the actual production model, in my rifle and it is very smooooooooooooooooth with a crisp letoff. Measured weight is 5lbs exactly.
Do you suppose there would be interest in this? I looked at the (patented) competition I would have, Timney and Huber, and both are almost twice what I could do one of these for. They run something like $88 to a little over $100 while I will be doing this for $30 to $50, and I provide the trigger.
Input is welcome.
Thanks!
Josh
