Jewell triggers

[KMart]

In days gone by, I heard that a lot at 2 AM.
On a side note, Mickey Gilley is right, the girls do gets prettier about that time.

I know a guy in China....triggers will be here in a couple weeks...

Dave, you need a little side biz now that you've 'retired'. I like the idea of a Jewell 'Crusher' series trigger. Sign me up for some of those! -Al

Probably could stamp made in the USA on them now.

Sure would be nice to have the original designs and access to previous records before someone was just to pick up and start with an old design with reverse engineering. Since there appears to be no information available, it certainly limits the players that might want to resurrect the brand.

Anything, especially a piece of machinery, can be reversed engineered.

If you consider how long the Jewel trigger was on the market, you have to believe that manufacturing has progressed quite a bit in that time.

Making the trigger would be no big deal. It’s the cost of the machinery to accomplish the task that is prohibitive.

That is why that early in this thread I suggested that a major current manufacturer such as Timney or Canjar could pick up the gauntlet and produce an exact copy.

Jackie I'm just wondering if the profit margin for something that labor intensive could be a factor. There's a lot of people who have the equipment, George Kelbly built a pretty good trigger at one time, I had a couple of them. You know Jim still has the capability to make them yet he's expanding in other areas.... I don't think there's enough profit in it to justify it..... John

It is a limited market, especially since there are now alternatives.
Mass production of small intricate parts is not in my realm of expertise in machine shop work, so someone like me would be starting at square one.

I would think that for any profitability, there would be very little human involvement aside from final assembly.

One thing a lot of you are forgetting is the liability issues associated with a trigger.
Remember the problem with Remington triggers. The Walker trigger went away.
And lots of money to Lawer's

The problem with that idea is the troublesome death penalty imposed there, for manufacturing firearms.

 

[David Conder]

Remington put the triggers in jewell sold them to you an you put them on your self

My friend in Italy can't stand the tariffs.
Australia is getting great actions and triggers that we can't get because of politics.

Wen ya going over there to bring some back, Johnny?

I wish someone could contact Arnold's son and get the word straight from the horses mouth. I think his name is Brian??? I realize privacy should be respected, but I think he would be glad to explain. Some of the old timers probably know him...

I did talk to Mr Jewell himself on the phone. He told me directly that he’s now retired.

I just might try that. I wonder how many i could bring back. I bet i could do 10 and be ok.

My understanding is that jewel had to disband the company for legal reasons
