School me on triggers for the M40

Shhhh, don’t say anything but I plan putting a trigger tech in my A1 build. It’s not seen
The only thing i caution you on is the clearance notch cut out of the walker trigger for the winchester trigger guard. I’m not sure if the trigger tech has a smaller assembly housing or not.
The trigger for the M40 and M40A1 would be different. It really depends which one you are doing and how correct you want to be?
If you give us some more details we can help more.

Thanks… as soon as I order the barrel, I will. I can always use a resource. I have decided to just go with the correct stock
Tony,
Another reason to consider buying an old Remington 700 .243 or 22-250 for your build. If you find a BDL, you get your trigger, bottom metal, and receiver with recoil lug and bolt. Building out your bare receiver may end up costing the equivalent of gathering parts. Not to mention time invested searching.
Again it’s all about your vision and what’s important to your build. An early 700 BDL is essentially an instant parts kit.
In M14 terms, you can buy a modern Springfield Armory M1A, then hunt down the USGI parts vs. finding a good 5 line “Golden Era” and upgrading the barrel and stock to build your dream rifle.
As you may have guessed, I’m of fan of old rifles, for old style builds.
Stay the course,
Greg

CMP vintage sniper rules re bolt-action rifles. You can use whatever m700 trigger you want, as long as at least 2.5 lbs.
Mine is a little over 3.5 lbs, so it’s something I need to work on before the next event:
