The "stud" takes the place of the fat pin on the GRT-III and acts as the safety block for the bear trap.
We gave it a lot of thought and consideration and pretty much the same idea and even thought about tooling up for it. If I didn't know better, I'd say he copied it..
Gene and I discussed it a few month ago. I had even discussed it with a couple of guys on the forum and in fact, a couple of others proposed pretty much the same idea so it was thought about by not only myself and Gene but a number of others in the past. You did a good job on it Joe and you are to be commended.
So why not make it???
Well we were going to make it but the problem is that in order to install it without have it being a pain, you need to have a spring compressor to remove the trigger. It would be difficult getting the trigger reassembled and trying to get the cover back on unless the trigger assembly is removed from the gun. It is also difficult getting the pin retainer spring clips off without damaging them. I could foresee a lot of customer problems and installation complaints if marketed and also the danger of people trying to remove the trigger without a spring compressor.
Retooling to make the change would not be that hard to do .The trigger above is one of two GRT-III triggers that Joe in Hong Kong bought from me at the end of Feb. He has shaved the nose off for clearance and although pretty rough made the safety pin for it. We were going to either press fit our "bear trap safety post" into the trigger or mill it in.
If a person were equipped and had the right tools and had done a couple, it would be no problem but it would be far from being a drop in trigger for the average guy on the street. Nothing like the GRT-III installation that's for sure.
Who knows, maybe I'll still do it.
