Timney Trigger - think I'm missing a spring?

[Jay Christopherson]

I removed and re-installed a Timney trigger. I know that on Remington triggers you have to be careful to not lose the sear spring under the sear safety cam (I think that's the one).

When I pulled the Timney trigger, I didn't see anything like that, but I suspect there was probably a spring as after re-installing it, it (dry) fires once and then the sear cam blocks the trigger. My thinking is that there is supposed to be a spring to push the cam back up and that I must have dropped it when I first removed it, without noticing.

Can't find a parts diagram for Timney triggers, so does someone in the know, *know* if there is supposed to be a spring there? And if so, am I S.O.L. on finding a replacement, outside of calling Timney?

On the top rear of the trigger is the sear. It pivots on the rear pin that holds the trigger in place. Under the sear is a spring. You can see a round pocket machined into the housing where the spring sits. Give Timney a call. Very helpful people and will get one sent to you.

Thanks, that was the right answer. Timney is fixing me up.

Great! Let us know when you get it running.
