Boliep, just so you know, I have had to replace a trigger on a 1963 rifle. It was bent in such a way that made it inoperable. One thing I noticed about that trigger was it was not made as structurally sound and seemed hollow in some spots (if that makes any sense). I haven't commented on this thread because I'm with the rest of the guys that are saying the pre 64 is one of the best hunting triggers out there. I've had excellent results with them, all except for one late manufactured trigger. The serial # on that rifle placed it in the last few months of production. If your rifle is of the same era, it may also have one of these crappy triggers. Some may call bs, but this is what I've experienced. If you need to buy another pre 64 trigger and go from there, I'll bet Justin has plenty of good ones (complete units with the sear) in his shop. I have 1, but I save it for a spare that I'll probably never need, but you never know. Good luck with your's and hope this helps... These late production triggers can be identified by a split boss for the trigger pin, rather than a single boss the full width of the trigger. I agree with BSA: unless you are trying to get a late production rifle built out with all the correct parts, the earlier triggers are better. The early and late pre-64 triggers are 100% interchangeable.

Is that trigger information/change in Rule's book? If not, it seems to me that it should be.

Grand uncle of mine , now dead. Bill morrison formerly of bradford maine. Did the work on my trigger, barely honed the sears and trimmed almost 3/4ths of 1 turn on the coil spring, took him about 25- 30 minutes to do, while i watched. Passed bolt slam test and bounce test on the butt. Breaks like christmas ornament glass, several people have shot it over the years and have liked it. It is right around 18 ounces. The model 70 trigger is pretty good to say the least.
