Can anyone tell me which trigger is which? I knocked them off the bench (Woops!) and although I think I know, I'm not positive which is which. Just like to get your expert opinions. One is from a Spikes LPK and the other is an ALG QMS.

Both have the S marks. One has a 1 (or I) on the same side as the S's. The other has a 7 on the opposite side of the S's.
Thanks!

might look at the finish of the sear surfaces and match them that way. I would ASSume the ALG would look a little cleaner. Could be wrong though....

Happened to have a QMS sitting in the safe. Mine has the number on the opposite side of the S's.

Edit: my trigger has a 2 on it if its any consulation

Google ALG QMS and you'll find plenty of pictures to get them back in order.

Max - Thanks for looking. That is the one I initially thought was the QMS.

I did look at the sears and I actually had polished the Spikes last year. They look pretty similar but I think my polish job looks a little better/shinier than the QMS, which would confirm which one Max said.

JGrizzle - I wasn't trying to prove anything but I think I just did too! (at least to myself)

Thanks for the replies!

Really? I'm curious how your cleaned up Spike's trigger compares to the QMS.

I doubt I'll buy another QMS if that says anything . Not that they are bad by any means, but I cleaned up the Spikes and like it better, and it didn't cost me anything to do it. The Spikes was in a varmint rig that has JP reduced power springs and a JoeBobs trigger adjuster. There is absolutely no creep in the trigger, when you pull it fires. Not sure about weight, but with the reduced springs I'd say its about 4lbs. Good enough for my cheap ass.

I used a dremel with a cotton buffer wheel and some very fine metal polishing compound, then finished with a another cotton wheel with no polish to make sure no compound remained.  Not a very hard process, just have to be sure you don't buff too much and alter the surface. I am going to try this with the QMS as well and see what kind or results I get in a different gun.
