Venom Mach 1 trigger unit.

[I. J.]

Calm down. Calm down.
This superb piece of airgun engineering isn't for sale yet.
Its come into a club members possession after a recent very sad bereavement at our club.
For those in the know there is no need for an explanation of this, what is basically a hand built Reckord trigger unit made by Hancock & Pope (Venom) in the 1980's. Most of these units went into the Mach 1 and Mach 2 rifles but a very few were fitted at great expense to their top of the range Venom tuned rifles.
Now, following the great BBS tradition of 'Whats My BSA Lightning Worth?' type threads - whats a Venom Mach one trigger unit worth ?
Any further information or estimates on a price for one of these units would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Not sure... But I would like it, so if you do sell, please let me know and i'm sure we can work out a good price.

Well, if the V-Mach 'Rekord' & CD conversions (including straight trigger blade) cost £65 (-ish) today ... it must be worth more than that, right? Somewhere between, say, £75 - £125 ... or whatever somebody is willing to pay. Regards .... Geek

I would value a proper Mach 1 trigger unit at around the £200 mark.

The item is not a straight drop in unit into an HW block as the casing is wider so requires the slot to be milled wider.

Thanks for that info.

See Matt's post on the other thread - it would appear there are several different sizes of Mach 1 trigger some of which just drop in to the HW block - I just thought mine was a 'standard' size....

Ive got the similar unit fitted to my KT83, this is Ken Turners own design based what looks like on the record unit but a whole lot sweeter. Best trigger unit ive ever used, only thing is you have to remove the guard to get at the tiny grub screw adjusters... still who am i to critizise a genius like Mr Turner anyway..

[johnbaz]

would my hw80 be a venom trigger too then?, it has the venom vantage stock (left hooker though) and a straight trigger blade..

>>>my hw80<<<

>>>trigger close up<<<
