Shilen triggers

I think all the guys using Reminton triggers miss Nelson Berger a lot. He was a magician when it came to Remington triggers.

I bought two Shilens.

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.

I was given a Hart trigger a couple of months ago by a friend who didn't want it. I brought it to Florida with me to fool around with . Has very small adjustment screws so had to go to a fastener store to find the wrenches for it; .035" and .050". Prolly have them at home but didn't consider them before I left.

From what I see, it appears to be an very nice trigger. Seems simpler than a Shilen and seems to adjust better. Anxious now to get back home to try it on a rifle

Henry will be happy you are putting it to good use!
