Shilen triggers

Here's a Shilen that I just finished up....didn't end up taking the side plates off this one. After cleaning it in acetone, I dunked it in CRC's Evapo Rust overnight. They come out squeaky clean and ready for a soak in lighter fluid. The roll pin for the third lever protrudes out the side a bit so the trigger hanger needs a couple notches to clear it. On the Shilens, the front pin fit is a nice press fit with your thumb. The rear cross pin is tighter in the side plates by design. Make double-damn sure you use a pin that has a tapered leading edge or you'll bend the side plate. I push one in from the other side to align it and then push that one out with the new pin going in.

A few pics for those interested. :) -Al

Nothing works like a visual from the man and his camera.
