Never Saw A Jewell Trigger Do this

[BoydAllen]

I admit, that aside from flushing with lighter fluid, and adjusting the various parts per the instructions, I am no expert on triggers. I've never had the stones to take one apart.

Actually, they are pretty simple. I like to work back from the edge of my desk, about in the middle, on a white terrycloth towel so that things will not bounce or roll. Even though I know their insides pretty well I always keep a picture nearby for reference. In my experience the side plates are pretty wavy, enough so that I did not try to flatten them, just polish and lightly stone the edges and corners that contact them. I leave the parts that have critical angles alone. Once you have done one, you will relax, and they become just another piece of equipment. The BR model is slightly different than the HVR, which has to have an articulated lever tip for the heavier trigger springs.

I have a piece of 1/2" safety glass plate that I polish the side plates on...works good.

I took a steel block, 3"X2"X1", and installed dowel pins matching the trigger pin spacing. Much easier to work on it when you're not chasing it around on the bench.

I still have some of the older Jewells and love them but they are becoming dinosaurs due to lack of innovation. I turned to bixn andy years ago. No regrets

The dinosaurs were the largest and the most powerful beasts that ever walked the earth.

And they are extinct today!!

 

[GenePoole]

And they are extinct today!!

No, they are alive and with us today. I had one for dinner last night.

 

[urbanrifleman]

Well, of course. They were chosen to not survive the flood. Lots of things didn't survive the flood.

But, I would make the point, that they were not "extincted" by more superior beasts.

There are dinosaur bones trapped in mud literally by the millions in a line from Canada all the way down to Mexico along the Rockies. All trapped violently in mud many of them craning to breathe. Interesting thing is there aren't any babies. Only adults. The last stand of the dinosaurs before the final waves covered them over. It's actually pretty obvious when you look at it what happened. They didn't go there to die they were running. Like a giant herd fleeing the waves. Until they crashed over them and trapped them in mud.

yes. Noah made it out though!!!!

Oh, heck I don't care...

I got a new flag for my flagpole outside my house. I had it made. It says:

DESCENDED FROM ADAM
NOT A MONKEY

As long as we're talking dinosaurs:

Me on the site of a pretty significant Triceratops dig in Wyoming:

[jelenko]

So, I guess the question is: What's the age of those bones?

 

[GenePoole]

67 million years.

 

[6MMsteve]

They're not too bad. Definitely serviceable.

you been hammering down at the range

 

[GenePoole]

??? There were about 6000 rounds on that trigger. I told the owner to start using a bore guide. Full of bore cleaner.
