Posted By: agazain Weatherby repair - 01/21/20
Need a recommendation, pls. My old German Mark V, now in 7mm Weatherby needs some work. The cocking piece has broken off about an inch behind the sear. And, the sear looks chipped -- when pulling the trigger on 'Safe', upon moving forward to 'Fire' it discharges. (Found this out when cleaning, not when at the range.)

Not sure of terms, but I do know this old style has the safety off the bolt shroud. And, the trigger is likely no longer available as a part. The 'smith who did the barrel work cleaned the old trigger as best as possible, including sonicating it. Shoots like a dream, but maybe the trigger finally gave out. (I understand some metal parts may have been "soft", even pot metal.)



Thanks,

Barry

Levi at Lohman Gunsmithing (Houston, TX) installed a new cocking piece and -- the trigger works just fine. No need to send it off to Weatherby for the bolt shroud safety conversion. Kept the Timney trigger just in case I change my mind down the road.
