The connector was not the problem; trigger geometry which exacerbated quality control isses were.
The new trigger is compromised by being made so that retro-fitting is possible. GD


GD, that's interesting... thanks for the insight.

What aftermarket trigger do you recommend for the 700? The only one I've used is the Timney...
