Is it possible to remove the factory double triggers from a Merkel 1620 and replace with a single or single selective trigger? Ideally, I would want to have the Merkel trigger as opposed to an aftermarket version. If so, can this be done by a capable local gunsmith or would this have to be sent back to the factory?
I did send an e-mail to Merkel, but have yet to hear back from them. |

Just for my sanity, Dannyboy. Do you have the double trigger Merklel 1620 in your hot little hands and want to commit this act, or is this just a general, nice to know question?

If you get no satisfaction from Merkel, Miller Single Trigger may be an option.

No, I don't have a 1620 yet. I keep looking, but almost everything I see come up for sale have double triggers. I guess if I don't overpay on a double trigger version and I find out that I can't get used to the double triggers, I could resell for no loss. |

From one single trigger shooter to another, don't let the double trigger crowd intimidate you. I got a Ugartechea model 257 custom built a few years back and when this crowd discovered I was getting it with a single trigger, semi-pistol grip stock and semi-beavertail fore end, you should have heard the howl. Bottom line, it's your gun, your preferences and you should have it to suit YOU, not to please anyone else.
PS, I love my Ugartechea and shoot it well. |
