Gunsmith can't install trigger in my rifle

[Rule 303]

Thank you all for your inputs. I'm going to watch the video, study the enclosed instructions, and give it my best.

Good luck, let us know how it went.

Cartridge triggers like the TriggerTech may require a slight mod to the bolt stop (grind a bit off the bottom radius as it might hit the trigger cartridge).

Otherwise, installing the trigger is a painless job - as has been mentioned you need to use the OEM trigger pins.

That's nothing to be ashamed of.

A person that knows their limitations is to be respected for having good common sense.

For instance, I'm good with metal but a wood butcher.

Being able to recognize when to pay someone else to do a job or trade them for work you can do, is what makes it all come together.

Wood butcher... I'm totally going to use that. I'm the same. You want a hand built for an obsolete revolver... i can do that. Grips... not your guy.

I bet I know the GS you are referring to....

Casey at tactical ordinance would do it while you wait.

Recently visited my LGS with rifle and newly bought "drop-in" trigger. Gunsmith said he can't/won't install triggers anymore because of liability issues. Said his insurance would almost double if insurer found out.

Has this been applied all across the board? Only in Ontario? How could an insurer even find out? What liability issues?

Any input from anyone?

Insurance can find out if your gun blows up for one reason or another and you blame him . I’m not saying that you would but sometimes when you F yourself u look for someone to blame or collect off of

I am not a gunsmith, but worked as a tradesman / self-employed contractor. Learned the hard way that some customers / some jobs are just not worth taking on. What I was able or not able to do was irrelevant to that call I would periodically decide to make, and it truly was "my call".

I'm a flooring contractor and have had the same experience. Sometimes it's better to say no. Unfortunately.
My trade teacher use to say" I never lost money or sleep on a job I didn't do"

There is an excellent chance the gunsmith you visited feels the same way about your WK180C. He may have no experience with that rifle and does not want to waste his time learning on it...

I don't know about his insurance... the last quote I got for liability insurance cost $25,000 a year... up from $500 a year...

Wow 500$, we went to well over 2K almost 20 years ago. At that time I can even recall a companies authorised repair center demanding a signed waiver from one customer before returning a rifle with a chamber that was deemed out of spec on it after they had polished it.
