Trigger questions
Okay so I had planned to get a timney 501t tactical trigger for the rifle I am building but the retail price has jumped massively in the last two weeks and it’s now not much more inexpensive than a Shilen competition or jewell BR so I figured I would put the question up here to see what everyone’s suggestions about either of these would be. I know that the jewell is well renowned as a fine trigger and Shilen have always had a good reputation for making good stuff but I don’t have any real world experience with either of these triggers. Can those wit the experience please enlighten me.
Thanks Travis

Hi
I use and recommend jewel triggers have never had a problem and adjust very fine with no kreep. Never used the other too.

Re: Trigger questions
Gday
I’ve had all 3 rated as follows
1/ jewel
2/ shilen
3/ Timney
The timney was a nice trigger but still not a jewel
If you can’t win with a jewel it’s not the trigger that
is the issue

Re: Trigger questions
Jewel as my primary and I have a timney as a backup! The timney BR is a great trigger and more rugged than a jewel. I’ve broken jewels ( yep I know , I seem to break stuff!) from blown primers . Timney are very reliable but a pain to adjust especially in a panda glue in action.
Jewel great trigger but needs regular maintenance to prevent failures. Keep any grease away from them! But , like I said my first go to for my trigger!

Re: Trigger questions
Wow ! Yep that’s what can happen ! I regularly use diggers shelite and a syringe to pour in through the top of the do Hicky thing that hooks onto the bolt sear . And every 200-300 rounds I’ll pull the whole trigger out and soak in shelite and then pull out and let it drain with trigger shoe downwards . Letting any crud drain out too ! I recently had my jewel fail luckily while testing and the cause was bolt grease under the trigger do hicky engager ( You can tell I’m a Plumber not a gunsmith!) and also rubbish where the pin at the rear holds the trigger into the Kelby trigger housing ! It could have been a Queens or teams event !! That’s why I have a spare timney in a Kelby housing with all of the correct Allen keys ready to change out the jewel! In a hurry !
I’ve had 2 or three fail on me 4 times . 2 from blown primers and the others due to bad maintenance!
All I can say vehemently is !! Don’t use bolt grease at the back of the bolt for the trigger bolt sear to pick up grease and fowel things up and cause a failure to engage the bolt sear .
I just spray the bolt with wd 40 and then wipe down . When I’m cleaning I always clean the bolt race in the action to pick up any crud .
But on the whole a great trigger when maintained !

Re: Trigger questions
Novice trigger cleaner question, after soaking the trigger (barnard) in shellite and drying, do you lubricate it and what with if you do.
