Title: Just ordered a Timney for my M77 243 tang safety
Post by: ELKBURGER on August 03, 2015, 08:06:34 PM: I'm hoping to improve some accuracy in my 243. I'm also trying to work up a killer load for Varmits and Deer. I think a new trigger should help with the load development. Has anyone put a Timney in a tang safety M77?

Post by: ELKBURGER on August 07, 2015, 09:17:43 PM: I ran into a bit of a snag while installing the timney. The part about 'with a hard flat stone, brake the edge of the sear'. I'm not sure exactly what they mean. Do they mean file, shave, grind or polish? and if so, how much? The picture in the instructions was very vague. With only a gentle polish on the edge of the sear, I installed the trigger but it wasn't catching the sear. Anyone else encounter this on their M77???
