    Question for all you P.O.S. R93, R8 owners.

    Bix'n andy triggers.

    Anyone have one of these triggers besides Thomas?
    Are they worth the $400 Oz and do you think they are they a marked improvement on the original?

    Don't have one sorry. Put a slightly lighter spring on my R93 factory trigger and it's mint.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    Ha Ha, Blaser does a recall on all triggers from a certain production run cause they're just not 100% sure one component was exactly as specified (I think it was a pin) and a bloody kiwi chucks a Bic pen spring in.

    Yes, my first R93 had to go back to Hugh for that recall. It was a mild steel part, like the trigger pivot or something, I think, that was swapped for stainless. My second one had been done at the factory. R93's that have had the mod have a P in a circle stamped on the trigger blade.

    Pen springs have been used in numerous gun mods, they're bloody versatile things!
