Timney Ruger M77 Mark II Installation

[@johnwilliams622]

Since every MK II Ruger 77 is the same, why wouldn't Timney (who I assume has state of the art CNC equipment) relieve the metal for the safety instead of telling you to do it with a dremel tool.....this makes zero sense to me.

[@davidcoiner6550]

john williams it’s better for you to do it yourself to ensure that there is zero play in the trigger when you put it on safe. That would be my best guess.

[@andrewbluestein4925]

same question I have been asking

[@emanennis8992]

This is the reason I quit buying their triggers nearly all require work before working correctly pay $200 plus for a trigger to do your own gunsmithing theses triggers that require work should be $70 less for your labor or a gunsmiths labor

[@danmcmillan9452]

"There is one problem now". That's an understatement! Now find a gunsmith that can solve your problem! The idea that a company can lie to you and give you the impression that these are easy to install is disingenuous at best. Sorry, have to go take my gun to a gunsmith now. Thanks Timney!

[@williambaskin4801]

Why the hell am I paying this kind of money for timney to send me an unfinished product?

[@Cam3V]

It is left that way so that it can be perfectly tuned to the exact rifle it’s being installed on with no play at all.

[@emanennis8992]

​@@Cam3V rifle basix trigger is $90 with a lock nut and safety length screw for the safety and a better trigger

I needed this video. I was a little surprised by how much metal needs to be removed. Seeing the video, I'm relieved to see this is within range, and that getting it close with the Dremel is o.k., while paying attention to the properly emphasized part of the instructions to not go too far. You could have added to the script of the video, "If working with the safety concerns you, please send the firearm to us, and for a nominal fee plus shipping, we'll install it for you."

[@brokendad2222]

Timney wants me to buy their trigger and then fix it before I can use it ?

[@danmcmillan9452]

From What I can see on this video it shows that the metal that has to be removed from the Timney trigger is in the shape of an arc. So a flat file is unable to duplicate the arc shape. Looks like the Dremel tool is the way to go but which Dremel bit or bits are needed to accomplish this efficiently?

[@papalilburn]

Video leaves out the most CRUCIAL step, the actual method and amount of metal removal for safety clearance.

[@andrewbluestein4925]

would like a little video of the metal removal part

[@happyhome41]

What I discovered on the wood stock installation, is there is a classic accumulation of tolerances challenge. There is slop in the magazine floor plate hinge, and the trigger guard. So in order for my firearm to go back together and function properly, I had to push the hinge base as far forward as it would go. Similarly, I had to push the trigger guard as far to the rear as possible. There was just enough movement on both sides to make the difference between the floor plate binding and not closing, to closing normally. Also, WARNING: it is a good idea to hang on to your stock parts and instructions. If you ever have to return the firearm to Ruger service for any reason, they will refuse to work on the firearm until you agree that they can correct any unsafe condition, which will mean they will take and throw away the Timney trigger, and for "no charge safety work" return your firearm with the L6 trigger installed, independent of whatever else you are having done.

It would be nice to see a video relating to the M77/357, especially in the All Weather stock. The bottom metal on mine will not reassemble over the new trigger, the new trigger being a different shape to the old one. Much fitting is required to get the rifle back into operation.

[@adamdlugosz123]

You guys installed my trigger in my m77mk11 .300wm ....1.5lb aswell as my other rifles ...the best upgrade $ can buy

[@Buddha23Fett]

I assume it’s because of tolerances on Ruger’s behalf. The safety relies on zero movement of the trigger while the safety is on so that it won’t fire if you try to pull the trigger with the safety on.

[@larryrichins7887]

Been looking for a video for the Ruger m77 with the safety Tang older models insulating a timney trigger!

[@tomthomas4444]

Looks like this could be very dangerous for home gun Smith that is not use to working with this kind of tolerances and such. I own a ruger M2 M77 and am reluctant to try this for safety reasons. I understand the procedure but if the clearances aren't right someone could get hurt. Just take your gun to good gun Smith are send it to ruger for trigger job. Be safe everyone and this wasn't meant to upset anyone. GOOD HUNTING!!!!!!!

[@geoffreyjohnston6483]

Hers my question: why does Ruger sell rifles with crappy, difficult to use triggers in the first place? Timney has a great product line up to this point. But this is kind of half-assed in that it puts too much onto the consumer in the choice DYI and risk screwing it up after spending $140 +, or having to pay a g'smith as much as another c-note to install it.

[@BogdanSecara]

Hello there, What stock is mounted on this Ruger M77 - Mark II? Looks pretty light to me ...

[@TVCJohn]

It's called a Zytel stock aka skeleton stock aka paddle stock. My .300 Winny has it. Some folks love them, some folks hate them. I love mine....bought the rifle NIB around 1995/96.

[@randybichsel4244]

I've found out Stock Triggers are as nice or better. If you know how to work them over...

[@allentaylor9073]

Only capable folks should get this trigger. It's not that big of a deal to mill away some material on the new trigger to ensure that the safety is engaging perfectly. Just go slow, i had to install and remove and reinstall and remove several times. That's what you have to do to slick up your rifle or revolver or pistol or any other fine mechanical piece of equipment.

[@Bowdoins]

Excellent video

[@kmerkingdomfilms]

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

[@tdjohnsky]

For the price of the Timney trigger you shouldn’t have to do a damn thing other than replace it. Having to do extra work is just plain ridiculous. Shame on Timney.

[@TVCJohn]

Whomever edited the video did a poor job by bouncing back and forth between Nate and what Nate was doing to the trigger. The editing should have included more video of what Nate was actually doing for the installation and modification and less video of Nate's face....no offense Nate. It also would have been nice to have a better camera angle of what Nate was doing or referring to during a couple of the critical phases vs seeing the back of his hand.

[@AdventureOne]

Will this fit on a m77 hawkeye 270?

[@farleyjj1]

BS Dremel? --oh I thought it takes the time to install as enjoying the tootsie roll pop

[@billbreeding797]

At the price of Timney Triggers....They should install themselves.

[@vikp6115]

For nine finished trigger I give this negative , all triggers are same finish it product than sell it

[@josephmarciano2584]

Received my Timney trigger kit this afternoon. This video is seriously out of date/sync with the instructions Timney provides. They don't contradict everything he says, but are MUCH more detailed and include steps he doesn't address. He leaves so much out, that you are better off ignoring this video and just following what Timney advises. Just a friendly suggestion: Keep the camera focused CONTINUOUSLY . . CONTINUOUSLY . . . on the rifle action. Do not pull back to show our gun smith standing there with no rifle in view. We don't need to see his tattoos. Try to seek a better angle when his hands obscure what he's doing.

[@narfer]

You buy a $150 trigger. Now you need to get a gunsmith to install it for $150. Most gunsmiths will tune a factor trigger for $150. Don't waste your money on a timney.

[@farleyjj1]

Horrible --I do not need to see the young man’s torso --quit cutting to it. I need to see what he’s doing. Common sense is needed in making videos!
