Quoted:
How are the triggers on these? It varies greatly. You have to realize that these were make 'em cheap and quick guns. They can have very good trigger feel when the parts are properly matched and fitted. If they aren't, it can be like pulling the trigger on a staple gun. The good news is that the fire control mechanism is a very good design. It is simple, easy to work on, and parts are cheap. So if you get one with a 'not-so-great' trigger, get a spare set of parts and do some LIGHT filing and fitting to get the trigger and sear to match perfectly. There are machined sears out there, but frankly, the stamped ones are just as good if they are fitted properly. Most of them work just fine, thank you. And I doubt that more than just a few owners have ever given the trigger action a second thought. |

I havent shot mine yet but the trigger felt great when I played with it.
I do have a question about running a silencer on one. I found a old ad for the SCRC MK25, it came with a lightened bolt when new for the sten. I bought one used with out the bolt, is there an reasion to run a lighter bolt? Would a bronze bolt work as a substitute? |
