Trigger update. Apparently timney makes two separate triggers that work fine on the standard short action Howa/Vanguard. I have 3 and used more. All are 3 position safety. That type did not quickly work on the mini but the timney that came in today did as soon as I screwed it to the action. It is a 2 position safety that unfortunately does not lock the bolt. Not a huge deal but I thought I should clear that up because I misspoke earlier about it.

With some grinding I think the 3 position could be made to work on the mini but the model 609 worked without any modifications to the trigger or action. I did have to dremel out the trigger guard a little bit and the stock some. That was pretty well expected and no big deal.

I don’t know what Wayne sells other than it’s worded to fit the mini. I don’t know if it’s the 609 or he has one made to use the 3 position safety and work with the mini? I’m sure he knows haha.
