Thanks guys. I'm pretty high on this project right now. Thanks for following along.

Ralph, I want to thank you for your suggestions regarding metal hardness. You saved this hard working slob a lot of after hours sweat. I owe you one.

Anytime buddy. I'm not a pro at anything, just my 2 cents. I hope it holds up for you.

Well guys, I think I have what I wanted when I started.

I came home tonight and zero'd in the scope. That took about 20 shots at 40 yards. I had just enough time to shoot a few groups of five. Here are my last two:

Glen, this whole project started because I was so impressed with the detailed posts and the sharing of information on this site. There are a few guys that really give a ton of info. I was schooled with some simple searches. I just wanted to join in and add to that pool. I hope others do as well. This is a good, clean American hobby. Kudos to each and every one of the guys that help make this site a place to read and learn. Information is power, guys.

I'll do some scale drawings of the trigger system and upload them for you. It might take me a couple of days, but I'll get them up. It's a pretty simple system and any adjustments you want to make to the trigger action and feel require adding or removing steel. Maybe I can explain some of that as well. I'll certainly try.

Dave that's a US quarter in there. I had a single jerked shot in one of the groups but it looks like either of them could have been covered with a quarter, aside from that. Both groups had two pellets through a single hole (they were 5 shot groups) and both were at 40 yards (38 and change). I can't shoot any further than that from my kitchen window and it's cold out in the evenings right now.

Kev, although I don't own a TF99, I've been intrigued with the work you put into yours. This will be one for the archives. If you decide to do another detailed strip/fix, I'm all ears. You do fine work my man.

your project inspired me to dig into my QB362(tf99).  The spring was broken in 5 pieces. ordered new one, deburr and polish internals.  However when i finished tearing it down, i was left with a lot of springs, pins and other tiny parts to reassemble for the trigger.  I have searched the forum and haven't found a drawing,so your offer to help is greatly apreciated.
You are right. this a great hobby that i am enjoying with my son(B-1 youth) I cant wait to get mine up and running.

Nice groups, I suspect they'll get better as the gun gets broken in.

You did a fine job, almost makes me want to get a TF99.

Hey Kev that is nice job! I have TF99 as well and I did some stock improvments on it and tried to make new seal for it as well. But as you stated the original trigger is not so good and I like what you did with yours. I wanted to make spring giude but I have no lathe. How much would you charge for it  if I kindly ask you to turn one out for me? If you can of course.Mine is exactly the same rifle so the measurments are the same.
Thank you

Anatoliy, it was never my intention to make parts to sell. I don't really have much machine time at work to dedicate to this stuff. Some break time and whatever time I can spend after hours is about all I have to build personal things. I'm going to have to respectfully decline. The drawing for the part is in the thread and you can take this to any machine shop to have it turned. It'd cost as much for them to do it as I would likely charge.

Also, Glen, I owe you some trigger assembly photos or drawings. Sorry I've taken so long but I've been a bit busy lately. I'm off for the Holidays though, so I'll get that stuff up for you ASAP. Most likely tomorrow.
