Schultz Larsen Victory / Ambassador Triggers

[Hanechdene]

Hello,

I have made contact with Timney Triggers to see if they have a current trigger that can be used / adapted to fit a SL rifle which they don’t. However, they have suggested doing the following:

At this time there is nothing in the pipeline. Now if this is a trigger, we get enough suggestions from our customers. could very well be the next trigger we bring to life. Add your request to our suggestion page. I have attached the link below.

Suggestions

If they receive enough requests perhaps they might consider making one………

The issue you have here is two fold; volume of rifles in circulation, as well as lack of other after market parts - SL owners tend to not change things. Secondly, the lock time of the SL is very fast, it requires a certain amount of trigger sear force to avoid slam fires. Most other rifles have a two stage lock time which softens the impact on sear engagement and allows triggers finer spring pressure. You can set the SL trigger very fine indeed, but you have to close the bolt very slowly to avoid slam fires, and if you cycle the bolt fast, it slam fires.

It’s not a product design per se, but more a limitation of the design of the bolt and lock time.

Personally I cannot see a solution despite messing about with the trigger for many hours; except for filing the cocking piece sear shorter, or the trigger sear shorter, so actual sear engagement of those units is reduced. Which, is going to cause a loss of the heat treatment on the bearing surfaces, and is not an experiment for the faint hearted

The other option, is to custom file perfectly mated angles on the upper trigger sear and cocking piece sear, so they mate at approx 45 degree angles. Again, not easy to do. I’ve had a couple of mausers done like that, and what you achieve is the same sear engagement surface area (actually larger), but with a lower resistance ‘slip factor’ so it takes less to make the sears disengage.

Apparently Callum Ferguson has tried regrinding the trigger……

Presumably the upper trigger sear then? Not sure what else you could ‘grind’. But here’s the thing right, the lower front screw has to be set all the way in to create sufficient resistance to avoid slam fires, that spring pressure has to be overcome with the trigger squeeze, and not only does it give a min. Weight, but it has a travel distance, you can actually feel the creep, spring compression and even hear the wee spring creek sound if you listen carefully. Relax that spring and yes, you get problems.

Fine rifles, but I take the old tikka m65 any day, largely because of trigger differences. I simply cannot live with a trigger that has any creep
