Thread: Timney Trigger Causing Light Primer Strikes

Has anyone had this issue with a Timney trigger in a Remington 700? I did a lot of research online and apparently it's been a common problem over the years as their sear is shorter and the cocking piece/firing pin does not get pulled back as far when cocked compared to a factory trigger/sear. I compared it to another 700 of mine with factory trigger and the cocking piece is flush with the shroud on the timney 700 and protrudes on the standard trigger 700.

Threads I read were from 2010-2014ish and apparently back then if you emailed timney they would send you a longer sear to install but someone said they eventually started installing the longer sear as standard and my Timney is a newer V2 so I would have assumed it already has a longer sear. Buggered If I know but it's failing to ignite the primers on a lot of rounds.
