Our trigger mechanism (internals) is cut by a computer controlled numerical process from
17-4 plate steel for the standard model or from Haynes 718 superalloy (inconel)
on our Millineum model. It is especially designed through a CAD process to have minimal
drag - the interface between the trigger and
sear is on the arc of a circle center on the trigger pin center.
It is much beefer than the trigger mechanism made by Steve Alexander which is
already strong enough to hold 8 or more powerbands and in the Millineum model
the superalloy Inconel is half again stronger than stainless steel and completely
impervious to the intended environment. The 3/16 monel rivets that hold this
unit together are the strongest in the trade (our testing on a computer equiped Tinus Olsen
tensile test machine took this unit up to 1950 pound (that would be 20 (twenty) 5/8 in bands)) Our investment cast housing of
304 stainless steel was designed for ease of installation of the home builder.
It is double disc ground to an exacting width of 1/2 inch (with a tolerance of
less than .001 inches), the ends are also have and exacting 1/2 inch radius
so all that is needed is a drill press or a router with a 1/2 inch bit for
making the install pocket. We offer a limited
life-time replacement warrantee on our mechanisms. It can't break, but
if it does we will replace it at no charge for materials or labor.
DIY - installing our mechanism internals. Take a pictorial
tour of the new mechanism housing. Here is the left side view
showing the flush ground 3/16 in rivets that hold it in alignment.
This is the top view
showing the rounded ends which facilitates an easy installation for the home builder.
Here is the right side view

end view
showing cast internal beefy top support (compare to Alexander).
