Ronin Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Real stab in the dark here. I have a friend who's just got a .224 Weatherby Mk V Varmintmaster. Rifle is 20+ yrs old and made for Weatherby by Sauer Lovely exterior condition, but.... The trigger unit - double set unit in an alloy block, has a crack remdering the weapon useless. Does anyone know of anywhere a replacement or secondhand unit can be obtained - here or the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Have a word with Zigliss on here Andy. I rebarrelled him a mk v a while ago, and fitted an aftermarket unit to it. For the life of me i cant remember who made it, i think it was a jard, but it definatly came from brownells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Terry, thanks, I hadn't even considered Timney may make a replacement. Dave, also thanks, I see Midway list them (Jard and Timney) i'll put my mate onto that. The trigger usint has a steel sideplate , but the body looks like some kind of compressed ally or early alloy, there are stress fractures running along the entire length of the body of the unit - looks like woodgrain.. A pity really as the rest of the rifle is pretty well finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Every one likes Sauer Weatherbys . I always wonder why. Check the bedding and some have bad wood that Sauer changed for the Weatherby supplied wood. I have the original Weatherby cast trigger housing parts if you really want them for nothing - it's Christmas. But they will just fall apart again . But I would install a Timney first.

Ronin Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hi Glenn thankyou for the kind offer. I have advised the owner to try the Timney unit - the original trigger has double set release. I guess the Timney is a single trigger at the price offered. Hopefully the rifle wil be shooting safely again soon, its a pity the cast housing is such a piece of cxxp, it spoils an otherwise ok rifle. The woodwork by the way is in good condition.
