Death of a Trigger Pack: Timney Tavor Bites the Dust

[DILLIGAF]

only your trigger made it so far bud, i forget the brand it is? shooting sight?

Yup so Far the Tav-D has been trouble free, Havent seen 1 report of a broken one either.

I'm sorry, what?

If you were following the circumstances of the 3 known Geissele packs that failed, they have all been attributed to one bad batch of hammers that slipped through QC. In the US if this happens Geissele overnights you a new one... that a lot more acceptable than what Timney does!

Lol all in all its actually pretty funny. Given the surface is nearly all beach marks it was a long time coming. Surprised it lasted that long.

Steel type wouldn't have changed much if there is inherent stress concentrations. Low cycle fatigue to start with would ruin anything. Otherwise material would have changed it from 2000 to 2500 shots instead. A broken trigger is the result regardless.

I'd just call it poor design.

That is what the engineer at work suggested as well. Amazing what the lack of a radius will do to a part.

If I may add, absolutely none of that batch of Super Sabra's were exported to Canada. The error was caught quickly and the few that did get out were TTBOMK, replaced. We knew about it. Canadians waiting for their Sabras at the time may remember an unexpected delay, that was that. To the best of my knowledge, CDN Sabra failure rate remains 0%.

Same reason all airplanes have radiuses on their windows now.

I didn't know that, thanks

they had too many corners cut on this set, and now we have the cheapest and weakest hammer exposed right there. I am only surprised that this has not happened more frequently.

Thats because most people buy guns to take pictures on their kitchen table. Thats from my personal experiences with friend and co-workers.
