    I'm with the OP in that timney's triggers aren't as pretty as they used to be.

    Tooling getting old?

    Cutting cost at the finishing stage?

    Just because they could?

    Who knows why they changed it.

    ETA: The OP reminds me of Bill Wilson back in the day.. geez is that guy a picky bugger! He comes by it honest due to the fact that he's from a long line of watchmakers/goldsmiths.

    But like Iraqguns stated.. AR's are not jewelry.


    BUT!!!!!

    They still work like a charm!

    I've recently installed four of their trigger packs into different rifles and had no issues at all.

    Predictable and clean breaking like always.... just not as pretty.

    Kinda like when your favorite waitress down at the diner forgets to put her makeup on. Dinner tastes just as good.. but the delivery could have been prettier.

    Pretty has nothing to do with it. There quality has been reduced, there price has been raised and I bought the trigger sight unseen based on my previous experience buying from them. I didn't get what I thought I was buying. Say you buy an engine for sale and it's all braided wires, chrome and runs like a raped ape. So you decide you want another for the same price, it arrives plain wires, no chrome but still runs like a raped ape are you going to be happy with it at the same price? I think not.......

    Nonsense. You're commenting only on the looks. It absolutely is all about 'pretty' with you. You're upset about laser engraving vs. hard engraving on a surface that faces the inside of your receiver, never to see the light of day.

    You can't say "it's of lesser quality" when you refused to shoot it.

    It's your money

    Hey it's your greenbacks, if you aren't happy then do what you need to remedy that malady. But without testing of said part you can't determine if the function of said trigger is less than previous purchased triggers. Good luck in getting what you want, desire, or need. Like I said it is your cash. You are the determining factor in what you deem acceptable and able to compromise on.

    How can you defend this?

    Looks nothing like the picture on a very well known retail website.

    To reiterate my reply on TOS:

    I have a Timney trigger in my precision AR, and it's one of the nicest triggers I have ever owned. Know why? Because it FUNCTIONS as it was intended. I have never even bothered to examine and scrutinize the finish on the side of the hammer, and I'm not even going to waste me time pulling it out of the safe to examine it, because that would be a waste of about 5 minutes of my life.

    looks fine to me.

    seems like you're making a whole hell of a lot of something out of basically nothing, holms.. just shoot the gun.

    I sure wouldn't accept that trigger. I mean, when I take pictures of my gun to post on the internet I can't have a hammer with tool marks on the side!

    To the original poster:
    Are we ever going to find out how the trigger pull compares to the original, or are you going to leave it in the bag?
    I assume you bought the FCG for a working rifle...
