Scooby-93 Posted May 7, 2020 Report Posted May 7, 2020 I have a t3 and a t3x, they both have light weight trigger springs fitted, the t3 has a very light pull weight, I’m guess 1lb maybe less. It’s a lot Lighter than the t3x with light Weight spring fitted. if I remove the spring from the t3 and put it in my t3x it is still not as light as it would be in the t3. how can the exact spring be different in 2 different rifles? the trigger unit in the t3 has Finland wrote on the side and the t3x trigger has toy08 on the side and is slightly different? can anyone help me out on this issue as the Trigger in the t3x atm is far to heavy.
Andrew Posted May 8, 2020 Report Posted May 8, 2020 Different machining. Different sear geometry. Think of it: Two identical rifles from the same factory. Trigger groups machined on this same machinery before installation. Different trigger pulls. You wouldn't expect changing the spring would change this, right?.~Andrew

I would estimate the t3x trigger pull is around 2.5lb maybe more
Andrew Posted May 8, 2020 Report Posted May 8, 2020 Were they adjusted to identical pull weights before the installation of the spring? What I'm saying it that a spring is one facet in the quality of a trigger pull. A few microns difference in the surface finish of all the mating parts can cause two identical rifles to have very much different triggers.~Andrew
Scooby-93 Posted May 11, 2020 Author Report Posted May 11, 2020 The trigger marked Finland on the side... is that a tikka 595 trigger?
Ronin Posted May 11, 2020 Report Posted May 11, 2020 Bottom is T3x Top 595/695/T3 newer unit has newt identical geometry but cheaper internals I’ll bet the sear on the older trigger is slightly different angle too looking at the image
