Howa Mini Replacement Trigger?

[tdbru]

i decided to see how "adjustable" the stock trigger was. started backing out the trigger pressure spring setscrew and eventually figured out it did nothing and took it out entirely and left it out. mine breaks at 3lbs like that and that's fine for a hunting rifle.

I haven't adjusted mine, but it breaks at a clean, consistent 3lbs. I see no reason to mess with it. It's perfect for a hunting rifle.

It has a better trigger than most of my rifles (I have one old M700 that has a really good trigger, but it also occasionally fires when I switch the safety to "off", I don't like that...)

I received the Jard yesterday. It appears to be very well made and of solid design. The safety lever is a huge improvement over the factory lever. More to follow after I've had a chance to run a box or two through it.

Thanks, Dinny

Hey Dinny How did that Jard trigger work out ? You liking it ?

Just to save you some time and in case Dinny is off hunting. See the attached thread toward the bottom of page... he recently bought a Timney trigger.

I despise JARD triggers and now happily own a Timney.

My Howa Mini (heavy barrel) is kitted with the B&C M40 stock and Oregunsmith's Bottom Metal. The stock/action have been bedded. The final piece was to install a Timney Trigger.

It is an easy swap with the factory trigger. After reinstalling the action in the stock and engaging the action screws, I did a quick function test. The firing pin was dropping as I closed the bolt (i.e. not staying cocked). There was some interference between the stock with the trigger, but not the usual spot somewhere along the side of the trigger. The aluminum V-block was interfering with the safety lever moving completely forward to fully engage in the "Fire" position. Once identified... I could hear a light "thunk" as the safety hit the stock every time I pushed the safety forward to the fire position. Easy fix (1-2 minutes): I used a small square needle file to cut a small notch (1/8" wide) angled downward along the top rear edge of V-block to allow the safety lever to move completely forward.

Timney trigger is a nice upgrade.

I believe that block is called the bridge. I did the same on my B&C stock. Pendelton stocks are notched for that.

Thanks, Dinny
