Not sure. But if you do order from Timney directly you can specify your exact pull weight, and not have to fuss with it when it comes in. And they ship fast. 2-3 day delivery from order with standard shipping charges.

[LOL] noob [ROFL1]

For the record, I think eventually they will have to accept trigger groups not mounted to rifles. People buy used trigger groups online that someone else replaced with, say, a Timney. That person gets the X-Mark Pro and has an accidental discharge and they determine it was the triggers fault. They come after the person who sold it, but that person can go after Remington because they refused to repair that trigger just because it wasn't in a rifle anymore.

Thanks J, I found one local at Trigger Time, going to grab it in the morning.

I've noticed Remington has had quite a few recalls in the last few years. Is this an issue of The Freedom Group or just a sign of the times. I've had 3 vehicle recalls in the last year too.

Wait i'm confused, didn't Remington spend 10's of millions of dollars in lawyers fees to say that their triggers are safe for the past 10 years? what made them do the recall? they lose a case?

As an added bit of information, the free S&H for the recall is basically indefinite. I called and told them that I'm moving in a couple of months, and that if I waited until August to send it in, it'd be no problem with their free S&H.

I filled out the info over a month ago and still no box for postage.

Mine is on the recall but I think I'll just put in an aftermarket trigger. It's a good excuse to tell the wife.

Thx to buffcyclist peer pressure, I ordered the Timney 2.5# 510 trigger today : D
but I still want a "safe" stock trigger. I'll just feel no rush to send it in.

ETA: Ordered yesterday, got the email this morning that it's shipped! (ordered direct from www.timneytriggers.com)
