Trigger Locks

Thargor

Hi, I dont know anything about shooting but my father asked me to find out about a trigger lock for him, basically he got a shotgun the other day and wants to make it legal which requires a trigger lock, its a totally generic brandless single barrelled shotgun, could be 10 years old or 20 years old, will any TL do or do you need to have them fitted by a pro? If they're universal wheres the cheapest place I could order one online (or buy it in Galway if theres anywhere decent and cheap)? Thanks for the help.

Didnt realise there was a main shooting forum, maybe a mod could stick this in there instead please? Thanks.

If you're stuck, try the sportsman gun centre in the UK
You can order online and the exchange rate is v good at the mo.
Trigger locks are on the following link:

http://www.sportsmanguncentre.co.uk/products/Security_Trigger+Locks/pagestart/0/

They're very helpful and will either email you or call you back within 24 hours to confirm the details and shipping costs etc.

(Although if you are paying for shipping, it's often best to order a batch of goodies for yourself as the shipping costs tend to be around €20 minimum - but don't increase substantially if you're buying a bunch of gear from them - unless it's something v. heavy)

Hope thats of some help to you.

Ill fire off an email to them thanks, hopefully postage wont be that much because a tenner is a great price.

No worries, hope it works out!
