Bucky Buckskin Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I have a skb 200e inertia trigger shotgun and need to shorten stock and was going to put a limb saver pad on it will this effect the trigger system reliability by dampening the recoil at shoulder any thoughts appreciated.

Goatneck Clem Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Length of Pull does not have any effect on an inertia trigger system on any make of shotgun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Buckskin Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Thanks for the responses my concern is that by putting a recoil pad designed to absorb recoil it could effect the trigger reset the pad is a limb saver pad. I am new to skb world. Thanks for all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 You can test the idea before doing any stock modification; just shoot the shotgun from the hip holding the gun with limp arms to minimize any resistance to recoil. If the inertial connector switches to the second trigger without recoil being blocked, then you should be good to go. I had an SKB that would not shift between barrels reliably with very light loads. When I tested a new load for that gun, I did the hip firing test; if the gun switched to the second barrel in that test, it never failed in a match. The other extreme, in which the gun does not move at all, such as being locked in a vise, will also prevent the inertial connector from moving but that it difficult to achieve when firing from the shoulder. The gun has to recoil a little bit to make that little connector swing into position for the second barrel. The individual gun's sweet spot for any particular shell and technique is controlled by the connector spring strength, and that can be a bugger to work on.

The inertia spring in the block is lightened by most gunsmiths that do cowboy guns that if that's the case it shouldn't be an issue at all.

Captain Bill Burt Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 You can also have a mechanical reset installed. Fast Eddie can add one without removing the inertial reset or making any permanent changes to the gun. The best of both worlds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 My SKB would not shoot black powder rounds and reset with the inertial trigger. It went to see Johnny Meadows and got the mechanical trigger and does very well now. I was one of the people that said why spend an excessive amount of money on a shotgun. All shot guns are 2 tubes welded side by side that latch on the stock end. Not a lot that can be done to make one better than the next. Boy was I wrong, going from a pretty well worked over Baikal to the SKB Is like turning your headlights on. No comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Payne Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Mechanical trigger is the way to go unless you tend to ride the trigger. If you do, the inertial trigger is the way to go. We have history to back this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major BS Walker Regulator Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Fast Eddie 's mechanical trigger conversion still leaves you the use of the select barrel function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 For SKBs, is there a difference in mechanical trigger system and the single spring touching block installed by many smiths (this I would think should be referred to as mechanical assist)?

Max Payne Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 +1 on Major Walker. My wife & I have 3 Fast Eddie mechanical trigger SKB's & 1 Inertia trigger. All of our mechanical trigger SG's still have the barrel option. The inertial trigger started out as a Fast Eddie mechanical trigger, but my wife had a problem in riding the trigger, so Eddie switched it back to an inertial trigger, which solved her problem. She has since gotten over her problem in riding the trigger & now shoots a 200e with mechanical trigger. The inertial trigger 100 is now her backup.
