Hi,
Last week I bought a Heirinkan Model A with a missing trigger.
Lawrie is helping me with resealing the gun - great!
I am looking for someone to make the trigger assy. That would be fantastic.
After a bit of research, an American collector on the American Vintage Airguns forum, Leonardj, kindly sent me photos of the trigger system.
Looks quite similar to a Sheridan Streak trigger. This might be a good base.
Any recommendations for people to contact would be much appreciated.
It would be nice to get this Japanese pumper from the seventies working again.
Heirinkan Model A trigger:
Streak trigger:
The gun after disassembly (which was easy, using a QB78 valve extraction tool):
A bit of history of this particular gun:
it belonged to the seller's father, who passed away in his house in Spain.
The gun was found wrapped in a newspaper, on the kitchen table.
The presumption is that he had partly disassembled the gun for crossing the border.
Unfortunately he got dementia and some parts were mislaid and never found again (I have found the peepsight from another US collector who bought lots of parts in the Myron Kasok collection).
Cheers, Louis
