Trigger

This is my new, prototype, trigger. Sadly, it exhibits all of the grace, beauty and style of a stone ax. It does however, accomplish the two goals that I was shooting for (pun intended). It moves the contact forward so that the more sensitive "pad" of the trigger finger contacts the trigger and provides a flatter, more comfortable contact surface.
Now that I know how to do it, version two will have a bit of "style".

I like it. What did you make it from, and how thick is it? RC

Thanks guys, appreciate your feedback. Love the Anschutz setup!
My trigger is made from 1/8" cold rolled steel. My only tools are a 40 year old drill press and a drawer full of files so I won't be going into production.
One could use brass but I find it harder to work with – files tend to skate rather than cut.
