Timney Triggers
About Timney Triggers
Timney Triggers was founded in 1946 by Allen Timney, a World War II veteran and avid shooter who recognized the need for better triggers as soldiers returned home.
Allen created easy-to-install, single-stage triggers specifically for soldiers who were sporterizing their military rifles like Enfields, Springfields, and Mausers.
After a devastating factory fire nearly destroyed the company, Allen sold it to Paul and Rosemary Vehr in 1981, who rebuilt the business from scratch.
Today, the company is led by second-generation owner John Vehr, who joined in 1994 and has modernized operations while maintaining the company's commitment to quality.
Timney Triggers claims to be the oldest and largest trigger manufacturer in the world, operating from their Phoenix, Arizona facility with ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing processes.
