I ordered a replacement timney LBA LA trigger for the Patriot--it of course does not fit.
Your inner voice has served you well. timney did say they would swap the triggers.I'm sure you'll get the trigger issue sorted out. Is Timney going to swap you triggers?
I've steered a wide bearth around Mossberg rifles since the start. As mentioned they were Raptors, and they had a horrible reputation. I've looked at them from time to time but always thought "I'd better not", I'm glad my intuition is being proved correct. I've always looked at much smaller cartridges though than the .375 Ruger.
You're welcome, though it's courtesy of Timney. BTW--just out of curiosity since you have a LA patriot--which measurements conform to the trigger in your rifle?Thanks for posting the Timney Schematics, stagpanther.
I'll check next time I have it out of the stock.You're welcome, though it's courtesy of Timney. BTW--just out of curiosity since you have a LA patriot--which measurements conform to the trigger in your rifle?
Thank you! was able to get 1moa out of mine but it took a lot of work. Going to play with the torque in 5lb increments from 25-35 and see if it helps.For the guy who wants to avoid all this fix-it nonsense and just get along with his as-issued Mossberg Patriot, here's one owner's experimentation with action screw torque and how it affects accuracy.
Best results occurred around 35 inch-pounds, the upper limit of what I was quoted from the factory. I'm betting Mossberg didn't get those figures from an Ouija Board. Go much beyond that you'll break something- as I can attest.

One would think--but they list the longer trigger under "LBA long action" which is what I ordered. Sort of "reverse logic" like savage's short and long shank barrel nuts.I think that S stands for 'short' alright, but it refers to the length of the trigger body as opposed to the action.

I sent the original trigger back--which did not fit. I've e-mailed Timney a couple of times about getting a replacement sent out to me after the original was returned, so far I've had no response from them, so I haven't had a chance to try one out in the Patriot yet. I still have a tootsie pop they sent me.Did you get a Timney in your Patriot and if so, how do you like it?
Will do.Thanks if you get one in that 375 please give us an update
