Merkel 140ae Bent triggers and Auto Saftey

I certainly hope so.
Philip, the problem however is that, and this is my personal opinion, rifles from that batch is still out there for sale as new weapons. I don't think that the public has worked through that batch yet.
 
I could agree with all the above and your new triggers look more robust. I am going to try and find some asap.

But on the positive side I did find time tonight to open her up and disable the auto saftey. The saftey still work as it should (stays where you left it) but doesn't automatically engage when the firearm is broken and loaded. :) Wasn't too bad and I managed not to mark up the screws. I will be honest, the gun feels better now. I really hate auto safteys.

Just cut on the line carefully not to touch anything else, this is the nub the cam hits to push back the safety to engage it when breaking the action.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
