I just unpacked a MK85 that didn't survive the shipping unscathed; the safety lever was bent to the point that it was gouged into the laminate stock. I removed the stock to inspect the trigger and noticed right off that there was no manufacturers name anywhere I could see. I thought the MK's were supposed to have Timneys. I call Timney and talk to a fellow that told me if it was a Timney it would be clearly marked on the housing. Any guesses as to what trigger this may be?
I hit Midway to check on availability of a new safety lever and apparently they don't sell them. Anyone know where a guy could pick up a new lever?
The trigger assembly will be heading back to the seller for him to sort out. I was tempted to try to bend it back but thought better of it as I don't want the thing to break outright in my hands. In the event this lever snaps off when the seller tries to bend it back, what replacement trigger model would fit a MK?
Finally, I got a call into Knight and left a message explaining the situation and asked for a quote on a replacement trigger in the event it comes to that.
Thoughts?
