Labrador77 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Does anyone know for sure if a 595 trigger mech as interchangeable with a t3? Not much on the web and reading conflicting reports if they do or not. Or if anyone has a 595/695 trigger mech they want to sell. Long story but I'm pre empting replacing a missing unit, along with some other bits possibly. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I have 2 CG Universal (Jackson) T3 triggers on my M595's, and they work perfectly. (I got mine from Baldie on here.) Not sure about the factory originals, though. Re-Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akeld Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think I have a factory unit from a 595 (aluminium block) somewhere, pretty sure the T3 unit is interchangeable as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malxwal Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 FFS, I just sold a brand new unused M595/695 genuine assembly for half price two days ago, as it had been lying about in my cupboard for a year. I have a Tikka set trigger unit (Stecher) for these too, could be persuaded.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To expand, I was sent a T3 unit by GMK in error, it didn't fit, but this could just be due to the angle of the thumb pad on the safety lever. However, that's not a very easy thing to modify. I went on to purchase a unit from Bix n Andy, which I was assured they'd done many times. Turns out it also didn't fit due to the safety lever. I had to modify the action of my M595 slightly to make it work (done after consultation with a most revered riflesmith). Bix n Andy solution was just to bend it, but to me that was not the solution, it was simply the wrong shape. In summary, do not order anything that is designed for T3 and expect it to be a straight fit to M595/M695. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malxwal Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 You may get a new unit from GMK (via your local gunshop) but it could cost you £145... I previously tried a CG trigger from the mob that are doing them in Australia, but it was a disaster, didn't fit, hopeless technical asisstance etc, so was retutned. Expensive mistake that one, a shame as I'd heard the CG units were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
