Canjar LP?

I just bought one of these, haven`t had it delivered yet, and now I wonder if someone have a good tip on what to do, or where to get, a better trigger?

The one mounted looks like a piece of bent wire and it will ruin the look of the whole rifle.

Perhaps someone has a trigger shoe, that will fit, laying around that you could consider selling to me?

I can give you a good tip but you won't like it. Cancel the order and get a Jewell. I had a Canjar trigger once that I finally gave up trying to make it reliable and threw it away.

The only Canjar I remember with a piece of bent wire is the bolt release for the 52 Winchester. Of course if you can fit a Jewell to a 52, your work would be in demand. I know one fellow that did it. Don't think he is interested in doing more

I've used the "bent wire" canjars for 30 years and still like them just fine. I also have an old Hart trigger I like too. If you don't like the bent wire appearance, buy a different trigger. Alternatively, it would be relatively easy to make a more conventional looking trigger piece. Regards, Bill
 
Been using Canjar and Jewell for a long time. If you could figure a way to trade I would trade you for a Jewell. What kind of Action is your Canjar LP for?

you can get an Anschutz trigger blade and a nail.....turn down one end of the nail to fit into the trigger and then the rest to the size needed to slip the trigger blade on to

looks good and works well

hopes this helps

Some time ago (years) I had a conversation with HOF member Gary Ocock. At the time all of the currently available triggers except Kelbly's were available. He said that the preferred the Canjar LP for reasons of reliability. I have a couple, one in the drawer, and one on a rifle that has seen lots of service. 'Never had a problem except the lock screw that holds the trigger piece loosened once. I retightened it and have not had that happen since. I like good looking rifles, but find it curious that the appearance of a trigger should be such a big deal. I would go slow on hanging much extra weight on a trigger that is designed to be very light. Inertia and balance issues within the trigger may be one of the reasons that the finger piece on this trigger is so light. BTW the reason that the one is in the drawer is that it would require milling out the slot in my Viper's trigger hanger to fit since the body of the trigger steps out to a greater thickness below where it would fit into a Remington action. I will save this one for a future project. I picked up a second-hand Shilen (It fits the bracket.)for a backup trigger, but have not needed it.
 
I had one installed on a Wichata 1375 . It was an excellent trigger for Benchrest . When the Jewel came out it was replaced and sold later to a friend who needed one . On hindsite this was not one of my better ideas.

Out of all the Canjars I believe that this was the best design that they made and was consistent in hardness and quality . A point to remember on these triggers -there was a late change in design to give more firing pin fall .

Please don't consider this a rude question, but how much is a Light Pull worth these days?

Saw a "new" one at a show recently for $200- way too much based on my experiences.

Good shooting!:D

Don`t know if what I paid saids anything about what it`s worth but I gave 80$ and I think that`s more then fair.

It seems to me that I`ve choosen a good trigger, after I`ve summed up the answers.
We`ll see whether or not I`ll do anything about the strange looking trigger but it`s not first on my "must do" list.

A big Thanks!, to all of you.
