difficulty of installing a timney trigger on rifle

ruger270man
I was thinking of getting a timney trigger for my ruger m77mkII .270 . How easy are these to install? Would I be able to do it myself, and is there any rivets involved?

Thanks

    I've only done one on a Japanese Arisaka many years ago. Based on that single experence I can say it was very easy. Best I can recall all I had to do was remove one pin, remove the trigger & install the new one. (Took a little longer to adjust it to the let-off I wanted.)I do remember that it made a world of difference. Sure wish I had kept that five dollar rifle.

    As far as how hard yours would be you can just remove the stock & take a look.

    I've put Timney trigers in Remington 700s, Winchester 70s, Mausers, a Savage and a old Ruger 77. I had no problems with installation. Great little trigger system.

    Hoped this helped!

    If it is for a 77MK2, they are not drop in parts. It will require filing and stoning the surface that engages the safety lever. If you go too far, you just destroyed a $75 part. The finished product is excellent.

    Here is a drop in Timney trigger available through Brownells.

    I have two like Richbug. In order to fit the safety on the rifle the part must be stoned/filed machined to fit. A friend and I did the first and broke two milling bits in a drill press before we got there. Took the next one to a smith who did not know how, but was willing since I did. Took 15 minutes and he charged $15 dollars. I gave him $20 remembering the first. Once in, it works beartifully, I set it for 3.5# and it breaks like a thin glass rod.

    No, no rivets, just the stoning work and it needs to be dead level.

    If there is indeed a drop in version, it would be well worth trying.
