Anybody ever put a Timney trigger on a remington 760, 7600, or 870? Listed the last two guns, as Timneys website says the part will fit all three guns.
Took my 760 partway down just removed the two pins that drop the trigger mechanism and discovered that my trigger mechanism didn't look quite how Timney's schematic showed.
Timneys schematic showed a carrier dog above the hammer and on my 760 this isn't visible.
Looks like I would need a 1/4" or 5/16" drift punch to pop out the trigger plate bushing.
Since I'm down in Ohio and don't have access to all of my tools I have the following questions:
1) Rather than buy multiple drift punches is it cheaper to take it to a gun smith (can't imagine more than 1 hr of laborer probably 30 min ,or so).
2) Anybody know a good gunsmith in the Columbus,OH area?
In the past I put a Timney trigger on a Ruger M77 MKII and Remington Model 700, so I've done some light gunsmithing, but not alot.
Just trying to get the old 760 30-06 ready for still hunting and tracking deer.
