UPDATE What Brand is This Trigger

[WSMNUT]

This Ones New to Me.
I Bought This Rifle for a Donor Action.
It Has a Trigger That I’ve Never Seen Before.
The Shoe Is Actually Adjustable Forward and Backwards.
It’s Very Light and Feels Great.
I Just Don’t Have a Clue What Brand it is or What it’s Worth but it’s I Plan to Sell it as I Already Have a Trigger for the Action

The mechanism looks a lot like a Canjar but the housing looks a bit different. Google canjar 700 trigger. There may have been different housings over time.

Shilen

I called Shilen and even emailed them pics. They said it wasn’t there Trigger. They said they’ve never had a trigger that the shoe moved like this one does.

Shilen

nah.

That’s a Remington Walker 40X International, and one of the latter half produced by Hart with a modified (much improved) blade attachment.

Mike’s design was awfully delicate.

 

[WSMNUT]

I was just going to say I figured out what Trigger it is.
It’s a Hart 2oz Trigger.
I had to break out the rolladex and call an old retired gunsmith who knew exactly what it was right away!

May
Is correct. It’s a great trigger from the golden age.

 

[WSMNUT]

I won’t lie, I had to think hard how to spell rolladex! I might have even googled it just to make sure. Seems sad to think about that.

I’m glad we have such a wealth of knowledgeable people here! Way to go! I certainly didn’t have a clue! I do now!

Wasn't aware Hart made there own triggers. Figured another company built them.

They must have made that one just to confuse you.

 

[natdscott]

Dusty, that's not the same trigger.

Pull out your copy of Otteson...

That trigger looks close to the one I posted but yours has a hole in it and this trigger is solid.

Does the shoe adjust/slide forward and back on that one?

It would be nice to know if anyone else makes one like that in case someone is looking for one

The lady I spoke to at Shilen was very nice and put me in contact with one of their techs. Neither one of them had any knowledge of them making a sliding shoe.

Yes. The hole was put there later to aid in sear adjustment like the hole in a remington trigger. It was handmade by alan hall when he worked there. I have probably 10 or more of the handmade shilen triggers from that era- every one is different. I also have a few modified remingtons changed to 3 levers and hand stamped SHILEN on the side. I bet they dont know about those either

 

[Thud]

Dusty,
Your trigger shown is a Remington International trigger

Quiz: Who did this 3 lever conversion? Itll set to less than 1oz and never fail
