I know Glen personally and I can tell you he's a gunsmith by trade and specialised in Triggers (he does Triggers full time now from what he told me) - he does a lot of Jewell triggers and other fancy triggers for benchrest shooters who want even more from their triggers, he's done all my Howa rifles (3).

Would I recommend him - you bet if you want your Howa/Weatherby or any of the others he mentions in his ad to perform the way they should I say go for it, no need to spend $100's on a new trigger when most of them can be made to be very good with a bit of smithing by someone who knows how to do it right.

Jewelled like the shiney patches? They do that to triggers?

I've used this guy and he does an outstanding job. I bought a new mossberg maverick .308 rifle with a plastic stock and terrible trigger for $350 and it shot about 2 inch groups. Bought a boyds stock and bedded it and started shooting about 1 inch groups. Gave my trigger to Glen Coughlan (ebay trigger guy) to be worked on. Turn around was only a couple of days. He got rid of the creep and reduced the pull weight. Now I shoot 1/4 inch groups at 100m just using factory remington corlokt 150gn. He's not on ebay anymore but his details can be found on Facebook. Just follow his instructions and you can't go wrong.

He probably got canned under the no "weapons" rule they added a while ago.

Because a trigger is a "weapon" :roll:

Is he still offer the service? and how can I get in touch with him if so.

Just chose a "Flavio" trigger for the monster but looking to get a Weatherby MkV trigger cleaned up.

He still has the same email, etc. gcoughlan@hotmail.com

Hope he doesn't mind me putting that up. Been meaning to get him to set up my Zasty trigger but there's always something popping up to eat any spare cash. I've adjusted it a few times myself but can't get the balance of weight/creep etc how i'd like. It's better than it was new but not as good as the howa trigger he did for me.

Hoping he will be able to figure out something for the t-bolt as well. If he could figure out and easy fix for it, a lot of t-bolt owners would be very happy. The only thing that lets the t-bolt down is the limited ability to set up the trigger how you want it. As it stands, he would need the entire rifle to work on and isn't set up to accept entire firearms.

Just read his FB page.
Geez, he's a grumpy bastard! :lol:

Does great work, though.
Glad to see he seems to have figured out a fix for the Browning T-bolt trigger. I asked him ages ago but he needed time to figure out the fix as he couldn't accept my rifle. Seems I can now remove the trigger for him to work on. Will have to send him mine along with the Zastava trigger so they match the 2lb-no creep of my Howa.

I got my Weathetby (Howa) done earlier this year. Very happy with it. You just need to follow all of his instructions in regards to postage etc. Very happy with his trigger work. I had to adjust mine as he tests it in a jig. Which is different to testing it in the actual rifle. The information to adjust the trigger was in the notes provided with the returned trigger.
