LH Model 70 help.

[Pathfinder76]

I just bought sight unseen a LH Model 70. Unknown was the fact it had a Timney trigger. Not what I wanted. I have all the necessary OEM trigger assembly parts but the cocking piece looks to have been modified to reduce the angle. Can I make this work? I have put the OEM parts on, but the trigger pull is horrendous.

Any insight as to what could be done here? Thanks a bunch.

Looks like you have to buy a cocking peice. There are aftermarket ones out there as well.
Question, why do you not like the Timney?

I prefer the open original Model 70 trigger.

I've never seen an aftermarket LH Model 70 cocking piece. Who makes them?

I didnt realize that the left hand was a different cocking piece, probably due to the safety. I have seen Tubbs precision website, they have a cocking peice. I don't know if there is a lefty. Pacific tool could have something, I bought a Rem700 firing pin there not sure if they have Winchester parts. Sorry about that. I wonder if a right hand could be modified for left.

A new factory piece isn't an option?

Unfortunately no.

It seems strange that you would t be able to find one. I mean the 700rem and the win70 are arguably to most popular rifles. There are lots of 700 parts but no mod70.
