Hello to All,

Fitted the 'Sweet Sixteen' trigger on Friday, and have put a tin of pellets through the TX since.

The trigger is, for me, superb

Due to it's greater width, the apparent trigger weight feels reduced, and my finger fits the blade to a tee

I was totally surprised that the trigger, as is, was perfectly adjusted for a very crisp finish - I had no need to apply even a fine tweak to the screws - it was absolutely spot on.

Definitely a very wise spend of £15.

I would recommend this trigger to all TX200 users.

have fun & a good Sunday

Best regards

Russ

Oh dear, now £20.00 and then £5.50 postage. Looks like the usual British problem of success.

To be fair they are worth £30 all day long. I paid £30 for a secondhand rowan TX trigger blade, and they are over £40 new -this (IMHO) is better.

I think it's more a question on a low initial launch price to drum up interest, and then setting the price more realistically.. which is fair enough !

It does fit in a Rekord - but only with some fettling.

Had to turn up a reducing sleeve to improve the fit of the Rekord 2mm pin - but then again, the standard Rekord trigger flops about on the pin like a wet haddock! also had to fit 1mm shims either side to stop side-side play, then get out the files to re-profile and relieve the brass to prevent it locking up against the trigger spring screw bracket. Also, a new shorter trigger spring adjuster is required as the rib on the back of the blade fouls the standard screw.

All works now on the bench. Will go back into the '77 action I'm playing with tomorrow - if I can find the safety spring!

Will post up some comparison photos of the trigger blade in the Rekord tomorrow.

Just messaged the vendor and he's going to do a Rekord specific version soon

As promised, piccies of mods to trigger and installation to Rekord. Sunbeam will be making a Rekord-specific version soon, so you lot don't have to go through the pain I did! Like an idiot I didn't take a pic of the trigger before, so you only get the after shots. there's some original pics in the Bay of E though....

Had to take off the front and top of the trigger to get the profile more like the Rekord unit, but not too much as it brings the trigger forward. Not immediately obvious, but the hole is sleeved, and there are plastic shims either side to take up the slack in the trigger housing. Unfortunately, the hole is so close to the edge of the trigger that the shims tore a bit round the top. Works OK though.

Installed: thankfully, the long grubscrews allow it to trip the sears OK, as the falloff at the back of the trigger is a lot steeper than the Rekord. the lack of clearance to the spring tension adjuster can be seen, and where the back of the blade would have fouled the spring adjuster screw. Clearance restored by turning up an M6 S/S grubscrew:
