• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

Need to bend a trigger

Sako Collectors Club Discussion Forum

I have a Sako trigger from a Browning FN I need to bend to match the rear trigger guard curve. Do not want to dismantle the trigger without guidance of the professional nature which I have not at hand.

So, can I pack the trigger with a heat sink material, heat the trigger, shape, and allow to cool slowly? Fool's errand? Certainly do not wish to alter the treatment of the innards.
Any suggestions or for sure ideas?

I would remove the trigger piece from the trigger assembly before I applied any heat to the temperature required to bend it. Do a tracing of the shape you need & bend to match then reassemble. If it isn't quite right, do it again. Doesn't matter if you cool slowly or quench in water to cool quickly. I just wouldn't want to heat it while it was in the trigger assembly because you could change the temper of the springs inside. Might be me overthinking things, but it's best to error on the side of caution when it comes to triggers. Just my two cents!
 
Isn't the trigger lever an integral part of the trigger sear??

I'd think things over VERY carefully, before applying any heat to the lever.

BTW....yeah, I'd be taking the trigger lever out of the trigger housing.

Hope this helps.

I agree with all advised. Am meeting with my bookie tomorrow to sort this take-apart then heat and bend.

I have an L-61 trigger someone messed with at some point. P/M me if you might be interested in it as a parts trigger.
