rsrjerry Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi Does anyone know if you can get or change parts in the trigger unit to make into a two stage trigger from a single stage/direct trigger ? or is it a complete trigger unit change ? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 when i had one i sent the trigger unit away to frank dykes and they put some sort of kit in which turned it into a two stage like my 1417s,cost was £45 ish from what i can remember,but dykes arent the main importer anymore ruag are and there not the best by all accounts,it might be worth asking your rfd or try phoning ruag.the price of a new trigger unit is round about £200 good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Just doing this as we speak. Telf has it nailed. At the moment I've just swapped triggers with my 1417 - dead simple, two screws and no adjustment necessary - while I (and another member) wait (im)patiently for the two stage unit to arrive from Germany. RUAG are not Frank Dykes - nuff said! I'm lucky in as much as my local RFD had the tenacity to stick with it and the order for two has been placed. The two stage makes an already fine rifle even better. I spoke to Anschutz and they indicate a price of some 150 euros. I leave it up to you and your RFD regarding any haggling but I am lead to believe that you could be talking the wrong side of £250. Additionally, be prepared to wait for several months should you go for it. My oppo is another Anschutz fan, having the 1417 and 22 Hornet. He wants to get the 1517 with a two stage trigger and as yet, can't even get a price. There is no stockist of Rottweil cartridges anywhere near me but I finally tripped over World Sporting that will deliver (Just Cartridges don't stock them) and my order went according to plan. These are the only people that I personally know of that have ever had a good word to say about RUAG. As Telf said, good luck - you're probably going to need it!

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 In the days of Frank Dyke I got them to exchange the trigger on my 1517 hmr to the two-stage unit on my 1417 0.22 gun. All I can say is that it was well worth it - cost was c. £65 or so at that time. I now have two guns with the trigger exactly the same, so I can swap without worrying about different trigger pulls. Why doesn't the hmr have the same beautiful trigger as the 0.22? Just a rip off in my opinion.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Why doesn't the hmr have the same beautiful trigger as the 0.22? Just a rip off in my opinion.... It's impossible to do no other than agree: It simply doesn't make sense. As far as I can ascertain, it would seem that the option Telf was on about is now a no no - will be really hissed if later I find out I was wrong.

telf Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 so is the kit not available anymore that dykes fitted for me,probably wrong on this, but could the single stage trigger be adjusted to give some sort of first stage before the bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 so is the kit not available anymore that dykes fitted for me,probably wrong on this, but could the single stage trigger be adjusted to give some sort of first stage before the bite I don't know, but would have thought that Anschutz would have mentioned it when I spoke to them. They were very helpful and supplied the info on all the available mechanisms and I was content to accept their recommendation for hunting use. I believe you can adjust the pull before the bite but the pressure on the single stage cannot be reduced (well it probably could be but would it be safe to do so?) to that of the two stage which is specifically designed to work safely at its lower setting.

Whitebridges Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 The single stage trigger on the 1517 isn't bad far from it but it is a mile away from the two stage trigger fitted as standard in the .22LR, 1417. I have spent months trying to source a two stage trigger that will slot in to my 1517. Trying to deal and ask questions of RUAG is no joy. The Anschutz catalogue is incomprehensible when it comes to 64 action triggers. Good old Phil has been a gem helping me out and one day i'll get the ideal trigger. In the meantime i am shooting five times the amount of .22 ammunition compared to .17HMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telf Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 did you buy a new trigger unit,or something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 did you buy a new trigger unit,or something else Trigger unit. In my case, I'd been tipped the wink that there was an absolutely pristine 1517 - totally unmarked, as new and had hardly ever been shot - was up for grabs at a decent price so I did. Consequently, I figured the price for the new trigger was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 how much was the unit if you dont mind me asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 how much was the unit if you dont mind me asking Now the fun starts - at the moment I'm not sure but I will let you know when I've collected it. I've got a feeling that you're going to have to be sitting comfortably though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 if its a whole new trigger unit,my guess is £230 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telf Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) sorry to hijack the thread a bit,but does anybody know if an anschutz 2 stage trigger unit fits into a sako quad Edited April 27, 2014 by telf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead-Eyed Duck Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Nope - at least it won't fit a Sako Finfire rimmy, and I have (had) both. As a single stage trigger the Sako is hard to beat - does it need adjusting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) at present i have a couple of annies and love the triggers,i am thinking of investing in a quad and was just wondering if it would fit as i like the 2 stage triggers,thought id read somewhere they fitted,probably wrong Edited April 27, 2014 by telf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbust Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I have not long bought a 1417 deluxe in .22 with the two stage trigger and could not believe how sweet it is. I am now about to change my CZ455 .17HMR thumb hole for a new anni .17 HMR and I hope to be able to get one with the same trigger system.

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 You will not be able to get an Annie 22 trigger unit for the same in hmr unless you can get a dealer to order it special. Good luck! You will not be able to get an Annie 22 trigger unit for the same in hmr unless you can get a dealer to order it special. Good luck!

Blunderbust Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I think I saw on a web site that you could order it special on an HMR for an extra £62 on the rifle price. Indeed when I think of it I am sure it was McAvoy guns (name might be wrong) I will do a bit of checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbust Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Had a look and they are stating that there 1517 is available with two stage triggers. Sorry cant get it to link, but if you go on to there web site and click on Rim-fire then Anschutz then click the first link and scroll down to the 1517 thumb hole it does state two stage trigger. This could be a mistake right enough but I do remember a site stating that it was an extra £62 to get the two stage trigger fitted on a new gun. Don't know what a retro fit would cost.

telf Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 £62 isnt bad at all compared to the price of a new trigger unit on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
