It figures...right after I got the curved trigger and really wanted a straight.

The new rifle will suffer with a curved trigger as well. However, at 0.75-3oz I don't think I'll have to touch it. I'm counting on being able to snap my fingers and let the shock wave set it off.

Ditto. I just bought the curved about the same time you did. Heck, you probably made me buy it.

Do I need this?

Yes. LOL

To answer your question seriously. YES!

My 455 has an excellent trigger (the old design); my 457 came with a very "meh" trigger from the factory. Not bad - really not bad at all but still just meh. Played around with adjustments, springs etc. Still just meh.

Bought the Timney; set it at about a pound and it is excellent now. YMMV

Oh yeah. I have mine down to 8oz.

There is a reason it is advertised with at 10oz minimum. I initially tried mine at 4oz and while safety testing found that a rap to the buttstock would fire it.

Mine already has an updated trigger, so I will wait on this upgrade, though I'm sure it will happen in the future. I might wait and buy it used from T-Dogg.

Good mid-morning CZers!!! was out too early this morning......2am. Had a little gas blowing in DA HOOD from a contractor boring at 7pm?!?!?! in DA HOOD???? Not good for a bunch of red-necked white boys to be hitting 2" gas mains after dark.......
Fort Wayne Fire was NOT PLEASED, either were us gas guys.......but on a cheerful note...... the lady swerving to avoid one of our semi crew trucks, and driving 50+ yards down a sidewalk.......well.....was entertaining, and frightful at the same time.......we were hoping to hear a couple pops from her tires exploding from the 6" curb along the sidewalk, BUT then again......POPS in DA HOOD are usually the locals "busting 9mm caps" in DA HOOD.
Back to more inspiring work....the bathroom remodel......UGH!!!

Afternoon gents, definitely duck weather today.

Not much rain here in the GSF so far.

Been sprinkling since sun up here, ruined my plans to get the leaves finished up. Going to shrink wrap a couple patio doors instead now. Waiting on the brown truck of happiness to drop off some Midas+ this afternoon.

Same issue with leaves for me, I need them to dry out so I can get them out of the brass catching area.

Big white truck should be bringing me an extended buttplate for my 457 at one today. I'll need some of that Midas +.

Look at that LX Coupe in the background, I always liked those, especially the 5.0's. I still remember the ones MI State Police used to run.

I used own a black 5.0 LX. A 91, IIRC

You still see some nice ones here and there but a lot of them were made into race cars of some sort.
