....trigger?

It's a single set trigger.



It can be used without setting it. The pull is right around 2# In the above picture the trigger is in the standard position. In the picture below the trigger has been pivoted forward thus setting it. There is a small tab that protrudes from the center of the shoe. The trigger now will break at about 6oz.



Here's a rear view with the trigger in the set position.



Here is a pic of the only markings on it.



I've not seen this before on an XP. Who makes / made it?

....That's a Canjar Trigger. Real popular in the 70's & 80's. A very fine trigger, could be had in weights down to as low 2 ounces.

LINK >>CANJAR TRIGGERS are still available

A friend of mine in Ohio had one he told me about. He bought it used so didn't know how it had been modified. I suspect he took it apart to see what made it tick. If it had been a fairly easy conversion I think he would have changed all of his XP's over. I don't know if Canjar made a trigger for the 600 series or not. Wish I was closer so as to have a good look at it myself.
Have you checked it to make sure it wouldn't trip unassisted if you follow my drift?

I had been told by a local that it was a Canjar but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

The gun will not fire with the trigger set unless the trigger shoe is touched.

When I came across this XP in my local shop I really didn't have any want for a XP with the small boltface, but after playing with the trigger I had to have it. Should make a nice varmint rig once I get the barrel rechambered to .223.

Don't look like it's worth messing with...bring it to PA next time your this way and I'll releave you of the burden.

Those danged Canjar triggers sure are nice. Wouldn't mind having one of my own.
