OEM tikka trigger spring

[Bc45]

Anyone know where you can get an oem tikka trigger spring that’s not from J&A outdoors? I have a aftermarket one wanting to switch back. If anyone is looking to trade for one too I would do that. Thanks

Looks like Midwest Gun Works only sells a kit of factory trigger parts.

Yeah I saw that. Kinda sucks having to buy all of it, but might have to at this point.

I got some I bought a while back when I saw the aftermarket spring problems. $5 in an envelope with a stamp or $10 with tracking. Won’t be able to ship them till next Fri/Sat as I’m leaving for a hunt tomorrow.

Do you not trust J&A to actually send an actual OEM spring?

Hardware store, grab whatever spring suits your needs.

No they just want to charge me $22 for shipping the $9 spring

Yeah, that is pretty pathetic, and legally is fraud unless they ship it overnight or something that actually costs that much.

A first class stamp is enough to ship that spring through.

I have similar problems living in AK.

Yeah definitely one of the downsides not living in the lower 48.

Ball point pen spring... No, I'm not kidding... I changed both of mine to those and lightened the trigger perfectly. Suppose you'd have to find an extra strong one to replicate the OEM spring.

Like the others in AK and HI noted, getting stuff from the lower-48 can be a pain. Living in the boonies of AK calls for even more creative thinking about problems. (To add: And back when I changed mine, I'm not sure specific aftermarket springs were even available...?)

Ive done that before. Still prefer to buy a bag of springs from the hardware store. A longer lighter spring sometimes ends up being whatcha need.

I have one if you want it. NONCONUS here! DM me your info and I’ll send it to you.

Have to shop around a lot and get creative. Some companies and a lot of people seem to think that sending or receiving stuff from AK or HI is a problem. I still have people that tell me they only ship within the United States. My wife works for an airline and when she asks tourists where they are going to, some say “I’m going back to the States”.

Yeah, big, heavy, and hazmat are really the only things that are harder to ship. Carlile helps with those. Everything else is pretty much just ignorance.

That is pretty bad. I had some fool in an RV tell me he was driving to "the North Pole" I asked if he ment to North Pole, AK and he said "no, the North Pole, you can't drive further North."

You can get them from Unknown Munitions
