Abstract
The present invention relates to a gun trigger for use with a bolt-action gun. The trigger of the present invention has a finger element with an extension and a catch. The catch has a front strap and a rear strap. One or more openings are between the front and rear straps. One or more braces can be across the one or more openings. The trigger also has a head. A socket is formed in the top of the head, and a ball is received within the socket. The height of the ball relative the bottom of the socket can be adjusted. There is practically no friction between the trigger and a gun receiver bottom. A forward lug is provided to adjust the trigger creep. A rearward lug is provided to adjust trigger over-travel. The trigger of the present invention is made by an abrasive jet machine.

An antifriction trigger for use with a bolt-action rifle having a sear and a receiver bottom comprising:
- A. a head made of a selected material and having a first side, a second side, a front, a rear and a top, said first side and said second side defining a hole therebetween for receiving a pin to pivotally connect the trigger to a sear, said top being between said front and said rear of said head and having a socket formed therein for receiving and substantially surrounding a ball for being in contact with a receiver bottom;
- and
- B. a finger element connected to said head.
A trigger for use with a gun having a sear and a receiver bottom comprising:
- A. a head directly and removeably connectable to a sear and contactable against a receiver bottom;
- and
- B. a finger element connected to said head, said finger element comprising a front strap and a rear strap with at least one opening therebetween, wherein said front strap and said rear strap converge at an unsupported point.
A trigger for use with a gun having a sear and a receiver bottom comprising:
- A. a head directly and removeably connectable to a sear and contactable against a receiver bottom, wherein said head comprises a top defining a socket for receiving and substantially surrounding a ball for contacting the receiver bottom;
- and
- B. a finger element connected to said head, said finger element comprising a front strap and a rear strap with at least one opening therebetween.

- A. a head connectable to a, sear wherein said head comprises:
- i. a forward lug integral with said head and having a forward lug top and a forward lug bottom, said forward lug defining a first hole between said forward lug top and said forward lug bottom for receiving a first screw;
- and
- ii. a rearward lug integral with said head and having a rearward lug top and a rearward lug bottom said rearward lug defining a second hole between said rearward lug top and said rearward lug bottom for receiving a second screw;
- and
- B. a finger element connected to said head, said finger element comprising a front strap and a rear strap with at least one opening therebetween.
In combination:
- A. a bolt-action rifle comprising a receiver with a receiver bottom;
- B. a sear pivotally connected to said receiver;
- C. an anti-friction trigger pivotally connected to said sear comprising:
- i. a head having a first side and an opposed second side defining a pivot hole therebetween, and a top that defines a socket;
- and
- ii. a finger element connected to said head;
- and
- D. a ball received within and substantially surrounded by said socket, and said ball being in contact with said receiver bottom.
An antifriction trigger for use with a bolt-action rifle having a sear comprising:
- A. a head made of a selected material and having a first side and a second side, said first side and said second side defining a hole therebetween for receiving a pin to pivotally connect the trigger to a sear and a top with a socket formed therein for receiving and substantially surrounding a ball,
- wherein:
- i. said socket has a first bottom and said head has a second bottom;
- and
- ii. said head defines a hole from said first bottom to said second bottom that receives a first screw for adjusting the location of said ball relative to said first bottom;
- and
- B. a finger element connected to said head.
An antifriction trigger for use with a bolt-action rifle having a sear comprising:
- A. a head made of a selected material and having a first side and a second side, said first side and said second side defining a hole therebetween for receiving a pin to pivotally connect the trigger to a sear, and a top with a socket formed therein for receiving and substantially surrounding a ball;
- B. a finger element connected to said head;
- C. a forward lug integral with said head and made of said selected material, and having a first lug top and a first lug bottom with a second hole therebetween to adjustably receive a second screw to contact a sear;
- and
- D. a rearward lug integral with said head and made of said selected material, and having a second lug top and a second lug bottom with a third hole therebetween to adjustably receive a third screw to contact a sear.
A trigger for use with a gun having a sear comprising:
- a head connected to a sear wherein said head comprises a top defining a socket for receiving and substantially surrounding a ball, wherein
- i. said socket has a first bottom;
- ii. said head further comprises a second bottom;
- and
- iii. said head defines a first hole between said first bottom and said second bottom for receiving a first screw for adjusting the location of said ball relative said first bottom;
- and
- B. a finger element connected to said head, said finger element comprising a front strap and a rear strap with at least one opening therebetween.
