Striker 510 trigger

[nrar15]

Any tricks to adjusting the Striker trigger? Looks like a three screw with extra parts I just picked up a 510 in 308 going to change the barrel and thread it for a suppressor. Also any after market stocks, triggers or bolt handles for the Striker?
THANKS
Bob

if you have the trigger that is tripped from the front, you can put in a rifle basix and cut it off here

the rear roller trigger is different shaped in the rear so the basix is not a drop in.

Thanks for the info my trigger is tripped from the front. Would a SSS trigger work or would I have to go to the rear grip conversion to use it or not even then? Also are you guys useing a pistol scope or a scout style rifle scope?
THANKS

second from bottom pic is a sharpshooter trigger. it becomes a rear grip only then. the main reason for the change is to get a better trigger.

I use 3x12 burris pistol scopes. there are a lot of guys using rifle scopes on low recoiling rounds or putting very good brakes on them

Whad-I-miss,whad-I-miss?

Somebody knows me- if I can be out hunting or shooting I am and I was. Took the Edge out for rabbit hunting. Found that I do not have to clean anything using the Edge.

Everything available that one needs for changing anything one wants.
Centergrip triggers are easy and fun to make nice with time/patience and a bit of machanical know how. Oh and a couple of good smiths out their when I mess up. If you have a third generation (2 transfer bars) trigger these are very easy to make into nice triggers.

Bob: I use all quality scopes on my handguns. The center grips, all but one, have Burris 3X12 long eye relief handgun scopes. My wife doesn't like the higher magnification scopes so put a 2.5 X 8 on her 338WSM. Have 6.5 X 20 Leupold riflescope on the rear grip 338 X378. Have a Sitronlll 4X16 (rifle)on the 460 X510 and a 4X16 rifle scope on the 338 Express. I find target acquisition much faster with a pistol scope and on low power. In particuler now with the bucks off the mountains breeding does in the brushy low country.

There are some very nice tech articles here that will step by step help you fix or change anything you want.

I need a plastic tupperware stock if you choose to make a rear grip. Are let me know where I can find one. The rear grip platform is a much more stable shooting platform as you have the whole weight of the gun forward of the grip.

Neal thanks for the info just wanted to make sure there was not something that i should not do to the trigger never messed with a Stiker before trying to pick up some tips. Will it hurt anything to put a longer set screw in the trigger to shorten the take up?
Bob

Hi Bob

Seems like we spoke about this before. Are you talking about the set screw that sits on the trigger to take the slack up? Isn't yours to short and you can not take the play out because it won't reach the front of the magazine?

Bob is there a coil spring directly under the trigger/transfer bar? Between the transfer bar and the bottom metal on the magazine? If not there is suppose to be. If there is, push your trigger forward and see if your screw engages the edge of the magazine. The spring if there, either needs replacing or cautiously stretched to force the trigger forward so as to make the screw we are talking about make contact with the magazine. Refer to Greg's picture post with the Burris scope. One can not see it in this shot, but there is a pin through the trigger attaching the trigger itself to the magazine. 1/2 inch behind the pin towards the rear of the action is a coil spring between the transfer bar and the magazine. That spring is only a part of the equation. The long spring which applies tension to the rear of the sear ( straight one piano wire) if too loose does not apply enough pressure to force your trigger forward engaging the takeup screw. In a half turn at a time counting the halves as you go. As you tighten, watch the tang/screw in the front. Does this force the front tang on the trigger towards the magazine.

Since you mention not having experience in this and all safety and liability issues commonly accur from improperly adjusted triggers I am very hisitant to continue. No it won't hurt to put a longer screw in. BUT, something doesn't seem right to cause you to have to resort to this.


Depending where you live, it would be wise (my advise)to meet up with someone from here that has worked with guns and triggers to help you out the first time. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Though the Svage trigger is simple, If you have that much play (I can't see it) in the front then you haven't enough pressure to hold the trigger in the cocked position hence slam fires accur and that is dangerous

Neil thanks again for the info. I just picked the striker up Sat. so it was not me you talked to. The problem is the one you stated I have done a few triggers in the past just not the striker just wanting to pick up a few tips from the guys here(saves me money and pain in the butt. Is the 338 edge working out good whats next?
Bob

Not sure where one would go from here Bob. The brake allowed the Edge to happen. Kind of tough to improve upon the Edge. Spoke with Dave at Black Diamond last week. He designed a handgun cartridge by shortening the Snipetac case. Short and really fat based upon an over sized after market action.

The shorty Snipetac, 338 Lapua ,338 Norma (New) nor the Edge, in a handgun length barrel in my opinion are better than one another. The Edge beats all in rifle length barrels by a tad but not worth mentioning.

For the next year I will not have any place to work. Do to a complete facility wide remodel I guess for once in three years I am going to just be shooting and testing. I am waiting on my last two barrels right now. Have an Edge barrel coming for a rear grip target action and another 338 barrel coming for a 338WSM improved barrel. Its a short Mag case with the shoulder moved forward. Case capacity is the same as the 338 Win Mag. SO far the testing is being done with Reloader 17 and I am liking what I see in the 300 and 338WSM cases.
