Metal RWS Diana TO5 triggers. DROP IN !

[shootist]

Having tuned a number of Diana TO1 & TO5 triggers, the only advantage I can see IS personal preference. After a tuning on these triggers, they are exceptional, truly my favorite trigger. Don't get me wrong, the GRT-lll does a remarkable job for the lower end rifles, almost can't do without them. I will continue to install GRT-lll on these guns. But the TO1 and the TO5 with a tune has a very distinct 2nd stage where the GRT-lll has none. Just my opinion. Lee

PS - You still haven't said how much for these triggers.

I've got GOLD triggers herethat'd knock yer socks off, too . . .

The guys are right.... there are many very high quality expensive guns including pro-target and competition shooting guns out there using a plastic trigger with outstanding results and you don't hear complaints about them.

Like I stated above and so many others have confirmed, unless the trigger is modified for improvement in some way and not just a copy of the plastic trigger, and unless it's just a matter of dislike for the plastic, I really see nor do most others any value in or advantage in switching to a metal trigger. I suppose if one could be bought for $10.00 or so, maybe less, it might be something to consider but the buyer should not expect to see any improvement.

You have to give the customer/consumer something for his money. If some major changes or even some minor changes were made in the trigger to improve it, then that puts it in a different game. One of the things that has made the GRT-III the success that it has become is in the ergonomics. That is extremely important even in a trigger with a light trigger pull and the trigger pull is the same with every pull and you don't need to even think about it. But that takes time and money for the R&D to make the improvements and can become a bit expensive. Believe me, I know. And if we were to develope an upgrade trigger for the RWS, and we could, it would not be an inexpensive part but at the same time would be reasonable.

Is CAP a regular poster bringing something new and possibly nice to the attention of everyone or is this a promo? So far, no price, here or on the Diana Werke.   Who is making these triggers?

[leftcoast1]

CAP is a newer member but, if you read his last post he was making this a dead issue because of the back lash he received. I can't stand the plastic triggers in the RWS guns reguardless of the price tag or competition status. I just don't like the feel of it. I have already received a price and color availablity. I'm just waiting on payment type CAP needs and it's a done deal. I will let you all know how it turns out.

I am sorry if my post is considered backlash-ish.  Just sensitive about having some of my best air rifles classified as toys, I guess.

Would it not be more appropriate for CAP to post the offer for replacement triggers in the Classifieds if this is a personal offering, or in the Bargain Gate (with price) if it is an item available from a third party vendor, rather than to enjoin a debate over triggers and air rifle quality in the AirGun gate?

I didn't intend to start such a heated discussion on metal triggers !

A year or so ago, I picked up and RWS 34, after reading what a great hunter it is, after I put up to my shoulder, and slipped my finger into the trigger guard, I knew something was wrong. it felt wrong, and was if I was shooting an old Corsman with the plastic trigger. After checking, it was a plastic trigger! Now I havent fired one, and I'm not saying that these are not good and fine triggers, as many have given fine testimonials to the quality of the RWS trigger.

All that I can say is after shooting for years, and all but the less expensive guns that I have experience with, having metal triggers, I dislike the feel and the thought of triggers being made of anything but metal ...

Now Mike6762 had a 350 tuned by Bob, CDT up for sale, and those two facts made me want it real bad ! But I couldn't overcome my phobia of plastic, and I wanted a fine airgun that had been tuned by Bob

Well it's sold, and my stressful situation is over, until next time !

But before I would buy a metal trigger without reviews, of questionable origins, it would have to be cheap, unless Bob was selling it ! Then I would know that I was getting theVERY BEST !

Just wanted to explain why I sorta started all this

Hey Bill. I didn't know you were looking at my old 350. I say old because it's all double boxed here on the floor, waiting to be shipped. -didn't mean to cause you all that stress!  It's killing me to part with it. When I bought it from Roger, I thought I'd have it forever. You know there must be a REALLY good reason for me to part with it.  While looking for a new .20 springer, something else kinda fell into my lap. (No, I was not at a bar.) I'll let you guys know when she arrives!

Hey CAP, I am moving your Post to the GTA Classified Section. That is were buyers and sellers peddle there products. We may have been a bit harsh on you but lets see how your post does in the Classifieds. Our Classifieds are in many of the other related sites links so you can get more coverage from here.

The funny thing about cheaper rifles having plastic triggers is most of the cheaper rifles I have run into have metal triggers all my china rifles have metal triggers and my RWS 92 which is made in spain has a metal trigger the only plastic trigger guns I have had is the winchester rifles and they have a screw running up through the center and I think it's only their so the plastic  doesn't ware out.I think a metal trigger in a fine rifle like a RWS is a must I can't see why the RWS co. put's a plastic trigger in their rifles.Great job in finding a metal trigger.

[RedFeather]

Bill, I axed those links.  Don't know why, but could not post from Photobucket.  Seems to happen every now and then on this forum, and not just to me.  The box was not checked.

Metal triggers aren't the be-all, end-all and certainly don't denote quality.  As mentioned, look at the low end Chinese guns with their stamped triggers.  Stamped steel triggers were predecessors to plastic ones, anyway.  As long as it works, what difference does it make?  I would rather have a decent plastic trigger than a crappy metal one, any day.  And, if the look or feel is a concern, get a trigger shoe like the ones for paintball guns.  Come in a variety of colors, too, to suit your tastes.

I just wonder why everything about these triggers has to be addressed in emails?  Are they THAT expensive?

[swynn]

I'll take one..........Email Sent....Shelby

[WVscott]

I emailed CAP twice and never got a response.  Can someone that did get a response tell me how much they are?
       thanks, Scott

Anyone check for BOI feedback?
