Walker vs 40x triggers

[fe1]

Is a Walker trigger different than a 40x trigger? From what I understand the 40x is adjustable. The M40 ssa I purchased has a Walker trigger I think because it doesn’t have the adjustment screw in the shoe or the underside in front of the shoe. A Remington Smith stated they came with a Walker trigger but other literature states a 40x triggers were installed. The action is a 40X clip slotted action though. Just trying to figure out if the trigger has been changed out.
TIA

May have been changed out before a sale at one time or after a break. Ive never seen a 40x without the external adjustment screw

Thanks Dusty do the adjustment screw should be on the bottom in front of the shoe correct?
There are 2 screws on the front of the block.

The 40X trigger is basically a "Walker" trigger with a means to adjust the trigger pull spring w/o removing the action from the stock. See attached diagram.

Thank You Sir then I don’t have a 40x trigger just a Walker

The adjustment is a screw you can see without removing the stock.

Repeating, for emphasis.

ALL of those triggers were designed by Mike Walker, Jim Stekl, and a few others.

They are all correctly referred to as “Walker” triggers.

Only with the modern “improved” trigger of the past few years can the factory 7/700 triggers no longer be worth a shi.... ahem..

Thanks for the pic Dusty. I do have one like that. Can they be used on a heavier caliber like a 308 Winchester with out any problems? It came off a 40x rimfire.

Yes. The triggers are mechanically the same between RF and CF versions.

Like nat said yes they are the same. Myself, i prefer to sell the 40x trigger to another soul and use that money to purchase a better trigger. The only reason to use one over a factory trigger is just to say you have one on there. There is no reason to ever adjust your pull weight on the fly and its the same trigger with a less reliable adjustment anyway. The only triggers worse than a factory remington is a newer factory remington or a savage. You can buy a triggertech primary or even a timney/ rifle basix for that money and have something when youre done

Yes I agree. I’ve always used Jewel. It’s been in the gun cabinet for years. What’s the going rate on the 40x triggers these days. I’d much rather have something else.

$50, or mayyybe $100 if it’s a Tombstone or a neat target trigger like one of the 2 oz.

When set up carefully, they can be excellent triggers though, fyi.

The tombstone has the flat on front and back side of the thumb knob right?
Currently it’s 1.5# with bolt release.

Correct. Viewed end-on, the safety resembles an Arlington headstone.

Now that you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it.

I have pretty old 40x, with very small allen screw at the top of the trigger blade. It is aligned north and south. It does have the bolt release. That could still be factory 40x trigger?
