MX8 Spare trigger group

[Dog Tyred]

Just seen a new spare trigger group for an MX8 on Ebay. Guys asking £850 !! quoting a RRP of £1240 !!!!!!!!!

Are these things really that expensive ?? 

Interested to know how many on here with Perazzi's actually have a spare trigger group.

Think I'll have to do without on this occassion.

Yes they REALLY are that expensive. I sold a refurbished one a few months ago with an adjustable trigger for £500.00.

Yes you should have one if you are considering internationals. Long expensive way to go if you have trigger problem and miss your slot.

It costs nothing once you have a second Perazzi. You just take the other trigger group with you. Some have to be fettled to fit both guns. You need a second group to fire top barrel first (different T-bar) for game.

Well in that case ........I still don't think I'll bother!

Not sure I understand this reply or the need for it.

I only tried to help with an answer....is it not one that you fancied?

I don't think that this was a superfluous dig at you.

I think it more suggested that DT doesn't see himself being selected to shoot internationally for a while so it was more a dig at himself.

£800 plus is quite a lot for a spare trigger though I can see that it is essential for an international shot.

Nail struck firmly on the head there Robert.

Would be nice to have but at that price just not realistic.

Don't try to read my mind Bobby.

I did not take it as any dig at me.....I just did not understand the need for the post.....the point being made was not clear :smile:

Understood.

One has to work ones self up to these additions over many years......adding what you can ... when you can :wink:

Its the old man, women thing again.

Men don't understand women and I'm past trying and men usually understand each other

just buy a gun that dont break springs , you could get a mirook for £800

Sod it!!!!! You just beat me to it! I'm surprised that Pete Harris (Salopian) didn't get in first though!!! :biggrin:

 

[Dog Tyred]

So no other gun (including Mirook) ever has trigger issues? Why did Beretta design the DT10/11 with removable trigger group then?

I guess its a piece of mind thing. Wonder how many shooters have spent a fortune on a spare trigger group and never used them ??

Only slightly related - but might give you a laugh.

A year ago I went to the press launch of the DT11 (my first press day) - at one point I was loading it, or shooting it - and the entire trigger group fell out in my hand. I had no idea that this was a feature, or how I made it happen... but I was stood on a skeet range with a gun in two pieces.

Accomplished shooting journalist? Naaaaaah.

I have owned three MX8's and a DT10, I had two spring failures on the DT10 in about five years. The last Perazzi I had, which I owned for a couple of years, broke five in the two years !!!!! I didn't have a spare trigger group ever, maybe I should have, however I never got around to it and I considered the cost be excessive to be honest. I don't know about these days, but a lot of the top guys at one time, always carried two guns in case of failure, because it's not only trigger springs that can break, as we all know. As for Mirooks, well I've shot them for decades and as yet, touch wood, I have never had a failure of any sort......true story....(as Nic would say).  :biggrin:

I know that problem Matt, one of my Perazzi's did it sometimes, for no apparent reason! I had it checked out several times, but nothing could be found that could have caused it.

My father inlaws DT10L has done that twice in two months. I have offered to put a dab of weld on it to keep it in, but for some reason he isn't keen.

Well if he's not keen on a weld or two,  maybe some epoxy resin would be ok?  :laugh:

Or a screw through it would do the trick.
