Thread: Bergera B-14 HMR trigger replacement

Anyone on here changed the trigger on their HMR ?

Did a quick google-fu search and it seems the standard HMR uses a heavy firing pin and/or spring that means you struggle to go below 2lbs even with aftermarket triggers ?

Not sure if this is just confusion on some of the American forums, or a real issue. Keen to hear some real world experiences, and also what makes of trigger people have tried.

Got a mate with one. I think has timney calvin elite either single or 2 stage, cant remember which. Seens to work ok from what i have seen. Nice to use and never fails to go bang

Tx @mikee, when you chat to him again, pls ask him if he had any issues installing it, had to go to lighter firing pin etc, also what pull weight he got it down to ?

@ebf I changed mine on 308 HMR to Jewell I’d bought from someone on forum. Simple drop in probably under 8oz from memory. Straightforward.

awesome, good news

Will do.

I used a trigger tech and it was a piece of cake. Unable to tell you what it breaks at as I have no way of measuring sorry

A simple way to do it that I've heard of is to cock the (empty) rifle, tie a string to the trigger with a bottle attached, and pour water slowly into it till you hear the trigger break as it hits the resistance threshold.

Then take the bottle off, and weigh it.
