Gunsmithing Lefty Timney trigger

[judgedelta]

Anyone with experience in removing installing a trigger on a left hand Mod. 700? The directions are the same for left and right hand triggers, and the guns are mirror images. That is, the bolt stop is on the left on a right hand gun and on the right hand on a lefty. I don't think the front pin will go out on the right side and if the rear pin is driven from right to left, the first thing done is driving the pin out of the bolt stop. I haven't had much luck getting up the tech support at Timney and will appreciate any help. Thanks...

Finally got tech support at Timney and the guy realized that the same directions won't work for both triggers. The left handed trigger pins go out from right to left and back in the opposite way...

Re: Lefty Timney trigger

Correction in case anyone should need this info. FRONT pin goes out right to left; REAR pin goes out left to right. This is with rifle upside down, pointing forward and bolt release on right side. Do not push rear pin all the way out of bolt release, just far enough to release trigger.
