how would you guys fix this.

[Pittsburghunter]

traditions give me a hard time when I complained about this. how can I fix it

 

[deermanok]

Need a different screw?

 

[Pete G]

Just what are you trying to fix?

 

[Pittsburghunter]

the screw is not bent the hole in the trigger group is drilled chocked

 

[TDM]

You need Traditions to send you a new, correctly drilled trigger plate.

 

[rchas]

You could run a tap in the hole at the right angle, but the screw will always be loose. Another option is to disassemble the trigger, plug the hole by soldering in a screw then filing flush, then re-drill and tap.

What are metal shavings from? Keep them out of your trigger assembly.

Are you sure it's not supposed to be like that. Just because it's drilled at an angle doesn't make it incorrect.

Does the screw enter the trigger plate when dropped through the tang/stock hole?

 

[Schatz72]

I had the same issue last year. After talking with their support and sending a couple of pictures they said that they would send a new one out; it took about a year to get because of being on back order, but it did arrive.

 

[Comfortably_Numb]

It's supposed to be at an angle like that.

 

[Tom A Hawk]

If it aligns with the hole in the tang perhaps there is no problem

 

[Pittsburghunter]

no I can not screw it into the trigger group after it is in the tang. That is just glue stains on my cutting mat. I used that so you could see the angle on the screw.

 

[64Springer]

Try this.

Gently chamfer the end of the screw threads to the root diameter of the thread.

And gently chamfer the threaded hole the screw goes into. This chamfer should be the diameter of the screw.

Sometimes these two chamfers will help guide the screw into the trigger plate threads.

No lasting damage will occur by doing this. It will be of benefit long term.

You're not describing your issue sufficiently. Put the trigger in the stock and run the bolt through the tang so we can see how far off it is. If this were my issue, if it were not too far off, I would run a drill through the bottom of the stock and out the tang at the correct angle. Sometimes it's just the hole through the stock that's off. Again, drill the stock at the correct angle trigger plate hole to tang hole. Hard to say without better pictures of the problem. Just some things I have run into in the past. Semper Fi.

I had a similar issue and just making the tang hole slightly bigger, and cleaning it up, solved the problem.

 

[Eric Krewson]

I would guess the hole through the stock needs to be slightly enlarged to give you some wiggle room. You can run a tap through the tang and then through stock to make the holes align.

I have done this when I replaced the stripped tang screws on a TC with bolts threaded into brass bushings. The first bushing was a perfect fit, the second one was just slightly off, the bolt wouldn't start into the threads. I ran a tap through the wood and into the bushing. The amount of metal removed from the bushing was just a few tiny shavings. The bolt started easily and wasn't the least bit loose.

Installing these bushings was a lot harder than one would think because they cut threads into the wood as they go in and they are a bugger to get started and have them go in straight even with the tang bolt installed to pull them into alignment

I got them in but wouldn't want to tackle the same job again.

If you can't get a replacement, disassemble the trigger and micro-weld the hole closed. Drill and tap a new one.

Many of the suggestions I read assume that the avg person has taps, dies, drill presses, lathes, and all sorts of tools ,machinery ,etc along with a "shop" area that allows all this to take place? I am here to tell you , that is not the case many times! Ther is a need for simple fixes that can be made, by average people that do not have all that equipment. IMHO

 

[rchas]

Ther is a need for simple fixes

The problem you are describing has no "simple fix" other than contacting the manufacturer for a new part. If you want to DIY it, you need tools.

 

[azmntman]

If they gave me a hard time I would order another part from them under the wifes name and with a separate card. When the new good part comes in it gets installed, the faulty part gets returned and they can scratch they're butts n sniff they're fingers. Further problems are just as easy as you will have the corrected part installed, they will have the bad one back and if it comes to it you stop charges on the card you used. Some times vendors hire folks that cant think and they make life hard. Gotta improvise during these times.

The above assuming the correct part is available for immediate shipping, other wise like RCHAS says ya gotta have tools.

This.
