Ok, here's the deal: Last week a co-worker talked to me about milling a trigger for a air rifle. He wanted to know how i would mill one and i came up with this strategy:
- Have the trigger contour CAD programmed (this guy will do that)
- Countour the triggers out of a piece of aluminium
- Make a milling jig to clamp the trigger to be milled on the rear side
- Maybe make the jig in a way it can be used for milling the slot in the upper view of the trigger and drilling holes for set screws
- have them annoed
- Send them to their new owners
Now, i never did work like this (i am a CNC milling centre operator) and i was wondering if any of you AO-ers did something simular. I think this is the correct way to make one, but i never milled something like a trigger and maybe somebody has a better idea. So all help is welcomed!
This is not a commercial run, just a small batch to help out a few air rifle shooters and maybe make a buck extra on the extra triggers we can make. Milling will be done on a CNC machining centre.
