Howa Mini Replacement Trigger?

[flatland1]

I've trimmed just a smidge more than one full coil off the OEM trigger return spring in all four of my Mini rifles, and wound up with breaks at from 1.3lbs to right at 1lb. Couldn't be happier with the results. I did install a Timney on one of those rifles before getting into the remaining three. It took some trimming on the rear of the trigger slot of the OEM plastic triggerguard to clear the rear of the trigger shoe, but that was pretty easy to do. The front of the safety lever plate of the 1500 Timney trigger however, is too long to fit into the slot in the Mini's bolt handle root, so must be ground shorter to work to lock the bolt handle, or cut off entirely if you're not interested in the bolt lock function. I'm pretty sure there are two models from Timney for the 1500 - one with an extended front plate to engage the bolt handle slot and lock the bolt closed when the safety lever is moved fully to the rear, the other w/o that extended plate. I can't say which model # for the one without the extended lever, but it's not hard to see the difference between the two if you have them in hand.
