thursodog 353 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi folks. Its been a wee while since i posted anything but i'm back. Thought i'd be a smart arse and thin down my trigger and bnd it back to a more setback position and this inevitably happened. So nothing else for it but to make one out of a bit of scrap aluminium. Thought about buying one on ebay but a bit strapped for cash the now. A bit of cutting and filing. Got the basic set back shape after looking at pics on ebay. Next job, drill the holes A bit of shaping and then to press in the pins from the broken trigger A couple of centre punch marks to hold them Getting there The next job was a bit fiddly as i had to use my wood working lathe (gonna get a metal one when i can afford it) Shortened the existing adjuster screw Almost there Job done and it shoots a treat. A couple of highly satisfying hours in the garage and saved myself a few quid. Atb Chris. 2 Quote Link to post
