Has anyone in here a close-up photo of the notch on a Riffe shaft (in case i have to modify an Omer spear)
Does the Riffe mech accomodate different shaft diameters.
Please help me out here, I am stuck on the project.
Thanks!

hello henrik,
in general you ve got 2 different shaft kinds= the US and the EURO;
the US are square and euro are ``half moon`` more round .
you can NOT load one in the other one without damaging the trigger or the sear.in 98% from triggers...
Riffe mechs will agree shafts in US specs having diameter from 6.5mm up to 3/8 = 10 mm..
in the fllwg photo you can see the different looking between the euro and us..the US are the one with the 3 fins and threaded.
do not try to convert omer shaft to us specs..you could get a loading problem as the shaft could brake if decreasing too much..just my advice..
