GodsdogRemington 788 Trigger Assembly Help
Can anybody tell me if there's any outfits making after market trigger assemblys for the Rem. Model 788. I've checked and I can't find where Timney or Canjar do, but maybe there's someone else out there I'm not aware of. If there isn't, Where is a good website to go to for 788 Trigger parts. I've tried Numrich Gun Parts and they don't have anything but there has to be other places that have pieces-parts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Godsdog.

FjoldCanjar made one but it was fairly expensive and I haven't seen one in 20 years.
Timney said that they were going to make on about 5 years ago but no one has seen it.
But I just found a link to their site that list one. Look at the third item down.

MuleriderMy suggestion is have your trigger done by Mike Bryant...for $50 that's hard to beat.

KingfisherI had Doug Shilen do a job on mine a few years ago, top notch. Also $50.
For what it's worth, I just got the latest Midsouth catalog in the mail and it has a 788 trigger from Timney in it now, but they still don't show it on their website.

N. S. SherlockHello. I have a copy of the original magazine article on modifying the 788 trigger I received from a member here, J. Pfeifer. I've had my 788 done and it has a very nice trigger now at 3 pounds. I gave up on Timney. I would return his favor and pass you a copy if you want it. N.S.

weagleIf you hurry, you might be able to buy this 788 down in the classifieds.
https://forums.accuratereloading.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2711043/m/682106733It's got a canjar trigger in it thats worth about $150 or more.
Swap it out with your trigger and resell the 788 for about $300 and you will be way ahead of the game.
