I use the TacSport Pro, TacSport ProX and the Competition triggers. All are excellent triggers.
I'm no expert but they are available with and without safety, so probably also left and right safety variants. I'd call Bullet Central for confirmation ... I'm just some random mug on the internet.
go to bullet central. The main substantive variation of BR triggers seems to be the 1 stage vs 2 stage r700-clone models. The Tac-sport-pro-X, etc are for PRS and have completely different internals vs the "true" BR-model triggers.
Many variations in both models IMHO are not substantive, eg right hand vs left hand or various sear heights or various trigger shoes, with or without safety. The sears and trigger shoes are typically modular internal components, so if you buy a trigger with one setup, you can later swap out components to replicate other configurations.
It depends on which Oberndorf version. The way back versions (2012 timeframe) were, but later versions were not.

Lots happening this week:
I'm away from the home office this week working on the V and X Series Gen 2 Aluminum Magazines and Standard M5 and M5x DBMs. Both of these projects have moved at light speed and it's awesome to have assembled such an incredible team.
I'll be doing my best to keep up with emails and answering questions, so bear with me if it takes a bit to get back to you. I'll be working through emails early mornings and mid to late evening.

Any Rem 700 short action pattern centerfire and rimfire action and stocks inletted for the M5.

The KRG Bravo is a chassis that already accepts a magazine of some envelope, like the AICS form factor.
The DBMs that I and others are doing are intended for stocks with a specific inlet; in this case, the M5 inlet. Picture a Foundation stock with a M5 inlet; my DBMs will drop into that inlet, the barreled action is set in place, and action bolts are installed and torqued.

Hi MB,
Any ETA on shipping spring kits (you started pre-orders on those) as well as the V-series of the (15-round) magazines?
To pile on, any projections on when you would open up pre-orders for the X-series (15-round) magazines as things seems to be going well?
Lastly, just a friendly poke on the C&F / alpha build for the (lot) Test Fixture phase to preproduction?
Looking forward to your show and share video on setting/tuning for the cocking piece engagement tutorial.
We greatly appreciate all that you have on your plate/ in the fires and just want to show continued interest in your current and upcoming parts and products (including new rimfire action).
This may give you some ideas. I put my Vudoo V22S in a MDT ACC Premier chassis and it worked very good for me.
Here are some pics as changes were made along the way. If you have any questions, just ask.
I decided since I already have a KRG Bravo stock I’ll make it work better. I have a track plate mounted to the KRG spigot . I am adding the KRG butt stock weights to offset the new heavy barrel. I also sold my Timber CE trigger and ordered a Buzn’ Andy competition.
This and learning about proper magazine loading and keeping the magazine oriented straight should be as good as I can get.

Back in the office today.
Lots of progress last week moving the magazine and DBM projects forward. All of the common small parts for the magazines were produced as part of the Production Validation (PV), and I couldn’t be more pleased. The 10 round, V-Series body halves will be finished this week.
Same for the DBMs and it’s interesting how the efforts to CAD model other DBMs and magazines confirms the findings related to various things regarding functionality. More on this later.
I’ll be catching up on a lot of emails and posts today, answering questions and processing orders.

Man, I wish I had those mad skills. Making stuff out of metal is so cool, always fascinating to see something come to life out of metal.
All I got is a Milwaukee metal saw, an oxy-acetylene welder, a drill press, some tin snips and grinders, and some files lol.
Very pretty!
Well, that’s more than what MacGyver usually have each week. Add a Leatherman, paper clip and chewing gum…now get to work!
Thought he was some regionally famous joke-gun builder or something lol
I know of all the internationally famous ones
244 pages in is not a bad record. Show me any other gun forum with even one thread having this many pages of posts.
Edit:
Plus, this is just some banter while MB is very busy getting all his new shiny stuff ready to ship. It’ll get back on track, worry you not.
And this year's Trailer Park Award for Best Gun goes to....
The sound that flipping those bipod legs make is one of my favorite childhood memories. I like it, a built-in fidget toy for when things get too quiet in the woods. E.
Couple of questions for Mr. Bush. Keep in mind, please, that I'm a shooter who's no engineer or ballistician. As I said in an earlier post you answered, I'm not afraid of numbers, but my technical training and practice is biomedical and people fixing, not metal cutting. I don't want to build rifles, while respectfully admiring those who can and do. I want to use them.
1. Bill Calfee (this probably dates me at least to the closure of Precision Shooting magazine, now about 13 years ago) used to write about the importance of firing pin location in rimfire precision. He favored the six o'clock strike position, for reasons I now can't recall. If I understand correctly, the Vudoo V22's pin has a twelve o'clock strike. What about your various actions under design evolution? And what are your thoughts on this? Apologies if this has already been done to death and settled. I admit that I haven't done extensive research and know very little (i.e., zilch) about the rimfire benchrest literature.
2. At the risk of being nosy, I'm curious about your longer term plans for the complete actions, once you have the magazine production wrestled into the condition you want for commercial operations. I gather, by implication, anyway, that you will be selling barreled actions, chambered and set up according to your lights and the buyer's perceived use case. Will you be building complete rifles? If not, will you have a list of approved gunbuilders whom you trust to do the final build? Will you be actively working with them? Clearly, there're some 'smiths hereabouts that you respect and trust. From an Internet search, I can see that you're a busy man with multiple engagements, ties obligations. So...just wondering, when my time comes to start transferring funds and getting solid advice, how will things work?
Cheers and salaams. You're a patient guy who obviously organizes his life better than most. Certainly better than I. Thanks for answering.

DK,
I agree with the published importance of point-of-ignition and prefer six o'clock over 12 o'clock. Based on the data, the point-of-ignition makes a larger positive difference than the shape of the firing pin tip. A lot has been poured into all the sexy aspects of tip shape, but as long as the rim is struck at the correct spot relative to the center point of the rim, proper ignition will occur.
The V22S Single Shot is a six o'clock ignition and I have a six o'clock ignition for the repeaters that I never released. My future releases will include six o'clock ignition systems.
I'm still in the decision phase of many things post magazine launch. For my path, there are a number of options to consider, especially as I spectate the frenzy of new action launches happening now. I'll continue to work through what I have in development and see what the topography looks like over the next few months.
