Trigger Assembly
Materials needed:
1 - 3/4" X 6" X ?" Left over from receiver board
Small Screws
1/8" thick sheet styrene
Utility knife or exacto knife
Drill, Scroll or sabre saw, rotozip tool, Dremel tool
Printed trigger assembly template : Trigger Template (Right click & Save then print)
Instructions:
Trace the template onto the wood then cut it out. I used a rotozip tool to cut the inside part out, but it can be done with a sabre saw if you start a hole with your drill. It is very important that you cut this as straight as possible. If it isn"t straight it wont fit in the receiver right. The blue part of the template must be cut out so you can make the grips. Trace the template on the styrene and make a left and right side for the trigger assembly. I used a razor knife to score the styrene and then bend/break it. Take your time doing this, it can look pretty bad if you don't! After the cutting center the grips on the assembly and drill pilot holes for the screws, Be sure not to make the pilot holes too big, you want the screws to hold the grips down. Screw the grips to the trigger assembly. Sand the trigger assembly and grips, smoothing the edges. Test fit the trigger assembly into the receiver and sand the edges for a better fit. Drill a hole through the trigger assembly as in the photo to attatch the trigger assembly to the receiver. make sure to drill a pilot hole in the receiver to accept the screw without splitting the wood.
The photo below is what you should have so far. I added my trigger to the assembly at this point. I made it from the styrene and sized it to my hand, yours would be different so I didn't make a template.
