I have said my peace. As of an hour ago I sold it at a discount to a member of another forum. Make of it what you will, I've done what I can to help my fellow consumers a little more informed of Timneys current craftsmanship........

I see your gripe Rusty, thanks for the post.
sounds like the dude was a little bit of a douche, if you ask me (the timney rep).. but not necessarily out of line. what more could he have done for you? turned back the hands of time and sent you a once-upon-a-time trigger assembly?
as somebody said, they simply changed the way they do things, apparently. they probably realized that putting extra time, money, and effort into the finish of an internal part was pointless. it is. personally, i've never had any interest in these over-priced, gamer trigger assemblies- so i have zero experience with timney. but i do know for those who use them, they seem to be the cat's ass as far as function goes.
so until i see where function is effected, i can't approve of this thread. seems to me it was a bit of a smear attempt to get back at the company for.... what? not cooing your irritation at what you perceive to be a reduction in value? that's all i can figure.
i think you should spend some time on internal reflection, holms.![]()

I gotta say, if it goes INSIDE the gun, I could care less what it looks like. All that matters is that it works.

Sorry to disagree with some of you but any good machinist will tell you tool marks are not only a sign of poor quality control, but are more prone to failure. Any time there are striations on metal it allows for more frictional contact, corrosion, and the chance of debris adhering to the surface.
totally depends on the application- access for cleaning, possibility/types of corrosion, part's use and load, type of material used, etc, etc.. there are millions of situations where the part's finish makes zero difference.
machining is not machining- there are as many different requirements as there are machined parts in the world. if you have an order for 1500 raw trinktorsprocks, machined out of castings, with blueprints for ID and nothing for outside finish, are you going to polish the OD on all those 1500 parts? especially when they're getting boxed up and sent straight to the plater upon final machining?
