And it comes straight from the unique mindset of powdered metallurgy. Let’s take a look at the video evidence, shall we? ## A Trigger Assembly Only Possible With Powder Metal The trigger assembly was crafted by Horizon using specific powder metallurgy processes. This particular project highlights the process’ **shape-making capability as well as its unique materials with special properties**. Most people think gun components center around[metal injection molding](https://todaysmachiningworld.com/magazine/how-it-works-metal-injection-molding/) as opposed to conventional powdered metal. Because conventional PM was used for the Horizon assembly, the customer was able to get high density and unique shape-making capability at a **drastically reduced cost**. The cost consideration of metal injection molding vs. conventional powdered metal is important to many purchasers. In this case, conventional PM won. ## How the Assembly Works A trigger stop screw at the rear of the assembly, concealed by the stock, limits the amount of[ trigger overtravel](https://www.realgunreviews.com/trigger-definitions-take-up-creep-break-overtravel-reset/). The trigger itself pivots on a pin, and most of its pull weight is determined by the trigger return spring. This makes the entire assembly very easy for the user to customize and adjust for optimal: - Safety - Comfort - Performance The trigger system for the Winchester Model 70 is as legendary as the Winchester name itself. There is a certain degree of expectation that comes with the name. It has a reputation for quality and performance, from stock to barrel. It doesn’t disappoint. ### Performance & Safety The Winchester user expects a smooth trigger action and an emphasis on performance. The Model 70 delivers that and more. This video,[ “Winchester Model 70 The Rifleman’s Rifle](https://youtu.be/L57e_OFnomI),” (click above to view) highlights several features of the trigger assembly, starting with its construction. The three-lever trigger system is made from high-grade, stainless steel-based powdered metal. This material offers durability and stability with a clean, crisp pull. Built to last, it holds up even through repeated and frequent use, with **no warping or shifting**. This assembly is fully adjustable, offering an optimal level of performance. Users looking for a smooth action and the ability to customize for comfort and increased function are in luck. ### User Adjustable for Custom Control The video[ “Gallery of Guns TV – Winchester Model 70 Super Grade](https://youtu.be/_8hseWqd7tE)” (click above to view) really puts the trigger under the microscope gives us a deeper understanding of its function and form. The [M.O.A. Trigger System](http://www.winchesterguns.com/support/faq/moa-trigger-system.html) is user adjustable from 3 lbs. up to 5 lbs. Directly from the factory it weighs in at just 3.75 lbs and delivers the famous Winchester Triple Zero Advantage: - Zero [creep](https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2006/09/triggers-the-difference-between-creep-and-take-up/) - Zero [take-up](https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2006/09/triggers-the-difference-between-creep-and-take-up/) - Zero overtravel ## ![trigger assembly](https://www.horizontechnology.biz/hs-fs/hubfs/trigger%20assembly.jpg?width=300&name=trigger%20assembly.jpg)Only at Horizon The trigger assembly is a specialty of [Horizon Technology](https://www.horizontechnology.biz/). We use powdered metal to create unique, complex components that other manufacturing processes can’t even dream of. Powder metallurgy is a high-quality, cost-efficient process that -- with the guidance of an expert -- can produce an on-target product every time.
