re-posting, too much garbage from worry warts

[nicoroshi]

May want to put this in the services offered forum
Also may wish to explain exactly how you accomplish what you do.
Polishing? Adding in something? Spring replacement or modification?
Can be vague enough to maintain any 'special trade secrets' if you'd like but generally what exactly does someone get for the price, and does it come with warranty or guarantee?
Are you a gunsmith or have any experience working as one?
Personally not sending off my trigger group to anyone unless I know they will
Be doing 'safe' modifications and know what they are doing.
Just sayin

More info is needed.
Are people just going to ship you the trigger group? You cannot take receipt of a rifle w/o an FFL.

[jason8055]

ttt. only trigger group

[FMJBT]

More info would be good. It's not clear whether this involves the replacement of factory springs or other parts, or if it is more like the "15 minute trigger job" where factory parts are modified or cut.

Interested, but yes, I'd like to know more. I'm local, so safe to assume FTF is also ok?

Well there is such a thing as a trade or shop secret so in reality the person does not and should not be required to tell you EVERY single detail and give away secrets.

All that really needs to be told is the exact pull weight, trigger travel distance and take up, if any, travel, what types of stress was applied to test for accidental discharges and all the safeties work as designed.

It is great that eveyone gives you a compliment but if you gonna make a business of it you gonna need hard test numbers and specs. Those numbers are important because in some cases you might do something (like have a 2 lbs pull weight) which alot of people do not want because most consider that weight to light to be safe.

FYI you better make sure you get Business Liabilty insurace because the one thing that can go wrong and get you sued in a heartbeat is working on triggers.

and yes this is the wrong section to advertise your services ..... something I of know first hand

Its crazy to do trigger work without insurance.
Once you jump through the hoops necessary to even have an insurance company capable of writing a policy for gunsmithing willing to talk to you, then pay for said policy, and all the other incidentals that go along with it, you'll realize that at $40 you are going in the hole.

Having said that, I don't want to rain on your picnic. If you have a better mouse trap, get it out there and run with it, and good luck to you!

If you bring one to the L.A. area, I'd be happy to test for you and toss it up on my thread of objective trigger comparisons.

While you have the right to not post how you do something you can not seriously expect to make the statement:

" I do the best trigger jobs, just ask my friends" with no specs, no testing, no certification that you have run the safety testing and expect to make a business out of it.

Bad trigger jobs is the leading cause of accidental discharges in firearms from equipment failure. You making a statement calling people, asking questions for more detailed information on the specs, "worry warts" does not make people feel like you are concerned with safety. That in fact will turn off a lot of people as they don't want to worry about shooting someone or themselves with a bad trigger job.

Well I want to know how he can confidently work a trigger out of the weapon when there are tolerances applied to the basic dimension of the FCG pin holes.

Sounds the same as when someone else came on here and just posted how much they bank rolled in certified armors classes and certified applicators training. Don't forget any kid out of high school can get that same training..... doesn't mean he knows a damn thing.

Short answer (and you know this as well as I do)
He cannot. Nobody can.
