Not my Tikka! Fired engaging safety

[fwafwow]

I love leading horses to water and them refusing to drink, only to collapse later due to dehydration.

I did my best to try to search for the prior recommendation, and all I found was "TIGHT". Apologies if I missed something more specific, but I'm happy to admit to being "more" wrong if there was a specific recommendation I overlooked. It wasn't due to refusing to follow your recommendation, or not trusting (?) - just generally being easily distracted. (And if "TIGHT" is the equivalent to 133 in lbs, I just didn't pick that up, as the other posts in that thread were in the 65 - 80 range, which I took as "tight".)

Jokes on you, I still didn't use nail polish!

Hahaha, but seriously, the victory lap is warranted. You've been on this stock spring, don't mess with it, TITE bolt, wagon for a while. I just didn't realize tight meant getting my 3/8 torque wrench out.

...... posting while also talking with wife and I missed the “messed with” part of your post the first time..

C'mon man.
Priorities.
She knows you weren't really listening anyway.

How many Dugga Duggas is that with my Milwaukee impact to get to 133 in lbs?

Thank you for proving the point.

No victory lap. I’m as big a JA as anyone. It’s truly funny to me how people will be told and repeatedly explained about things months to years before- and then act like it’s brand new information and they are so surprised . The funny part, is that it is often people that engaged in the original discussions/arguments.

I’m not sure if it is that people subconsciously are unwilling to believe that an the masses/ an entire industry can be wrong; or that personal ego on their side, or “screw these people, there’s no way they can be correct” or what it is. At some point I would just accept that they’re right so often, my default position became- they’re probably correct until I find irrefutable evidence that they are wrong.
I only generally bring this up when it is about legitimate safety issues- if someone wants to bury their head in the sand about losing zero with certain scopes, ok that’s on them.
But when it’s trigger failures, suppressor failures, reloads loaded too hot or stupidly, etc. That’s when it just boggles the mind how stupid people have to be to look and go “you know, this person/these people have been correct about so many thing months to years before the rest of the community, but F- them, ima argue that they’re wrong this time”. It isn’t just certain people- look at Ryan with ELD-M’s in animals.

Again, it’s just horse to water.

Where can you buy factory trigger springs? I have 2 used actions that I have purchased that have either aftermarket trigger springs or just super light triggers. I've been happy with factory triggers and weights. Never felt like messing with any of the 7 factory guns I bought.

I have plenty of oem springs laying around. You can have them or feel free to send me the aftermarket spring and I'll send you what I have from my factory Tikkas

 

[JoeK]

well that was easy enough...Pm sent. Anyone have a Mag retention spring laying around? Pulled the action from a chassis.
