Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires CZ 452 Trigger Guard

Mine seems to shoot fine with the factory trigger guard, so I guess I will keep it.

Mine shoots fine too - my thought is that it could be visually more pleasing. Yes, it looked this way when I bought it.

The trigger itself is pretty much a non-issue by now too. My 452 is not scoped - it's a Lux and would be difficult to mount a scope on without resorting to overly-high mounts to clear the rear sight base. The good news is that the iron sights are quite good and I do not notice how sloppy the stock trigger is when not looking through a scope. Yes, I know there are many fixes for the trigger, but for now it is doing fine as an iron-sighted truck rifle.

I am very much aware that these rifles have a very loyal following and from most accounts I read just about everyone is delighted with theirs. Maybe I expected too much -- ??? --

Received the following response from the English producer:

"We are not at present able to ship to the states due to export licensing.
We are trying to resolve the problem and will keep your email details to inform you of the payment details.

Anyone that owns a drill press, a good drill vise and a hand full of files can fix the problem and make a new trigger guard.

It ain't rocket science, after all.

I'm not geared up (equipment- or talent-wise) to make an acceptable triggerguard, buy hey, if you can do it, PM me for my address and I'll graciously evaluate your sample (gift)...

Thanks in advance - -

DARBY: Alaska and Arizona? Come on now, we are rugged individualist. How do you know you can't if you haven't tried? Get a hunk of steel larger than the unit, 1010 or 1020 SAE. Lay out fluid, awl to trace the outline. Drill outside of the lines. Their is you template. Remove all the metal that's in the way. Sand to your desire finish and rust blue.

You will be more proud of what you are capable of doing than anything you can buy.

Sad to say I don't have any metalworking equipment at all these days, but I did drive by a Holiday Inn Express yesterday...

I do have a friend with a machine shop and am trying to get him interested in making something along the lines of the RD piece.

They are not the nicest looking trigger guard on the block that's for sure, but not so ugly as to justify the cost to me.
I do know of a guy that does bluing, maybe this winter if he can drop in mine with a job that grinder file idea is a good one.

I am going to do something with the trigger for sure. I thought it was ok till the last couple of weeks. We have shot well in excess of 1000 rounds, maybe two, eliminating several hundred whistle pigs. It is to hard of a pull, making my trigger finger feel tired a little for a couple of days. Maybe I am getting old, or not, but a lighter trigger is a must have for my 452 American. The guard is a maybe.

I got one of those all steel blued trigger guards from R&D Custom before they went out of business. The service was really slow and poor customer service, found out that the owner was having health issue fighting cancer. Ashame that R&D went out of business but wish the owner a full healthy recovery.

What is a reasonable price for an all steel guard? I have a mill sitting unused and i might try to make a few.

Tod, can you remember what you paid for your trigger guard from R&D? If my memory serves me right, think mine was $125? I thought that was a little steep. I was thinking more along the lines of $75-$85.

About $125 would seem fair to me if it didn't need too much polishing and was made of good steel and not aluminum.

I'm in the market for 2.

You guys know there is a real simple solution to this. Someone with one of the trigger guards you all want, needs to step forward with the trigger guard for a prototype and get a group buy together, money would have to be up front. Get a hold of Butch Lambert and have him do a cnc project with one of the shops he uses. Have as many as you want that way. As long as there is enough money you can get them made. It is not hard to do as a group. Unless of course one of you has deep pockets and thinks he can make some money. I would trust that personnel and would only move forward with cash in hand. That way you weed out the also rans. Lots of small CNC shops looking to do small runs, as long as the money is there.

Just get this organized. Call for a group buy.

If and when you folks figure out who the real players are, contact BUTCH

I talked a gunsmith yesterday with a CNC machine. He say's he can do it but the price would depend on how many units he makes.

If I provided this product how many would buy at say somewhere between $100 and $125 for one of these in the white?

Right now I'm thinking probably just the .22LR and .17HM2 but if there was enough of a market for the magnums we could do those too.

I'm not asking for a deposit or anything Just trying gauge serious interest.

Terry

BTW, this is what the guy is capable pf. He made this bottom metal from scratch and say's the CZ trigger guard looks like a fun project.

If we can get them finished en masse, I would think it would be less expensive. Either way though, I'd be in for at least one or two.

I certainly would like one - will be interested to see how this endeavor turns out. For a real test of the waters, put this proposal on Rimfirecentral --

There is a guy over there talking about doing some but right now he's convinced they need to made out of aluminum. Hell, I would pay a nickel for that.

Terry

If you are going to pay to have them done then insist they be made out of 1018. This will give the best for most finishes.

I'm in for one for the .22 LR

Hi Guys any more news on those cz 452 trigger guards.I have a brno model 2 452 that i would like to change the guard on. The original one is a bit cheap.
