Mystery Gun Part

[TXGunNut]

Had a pretty serious workbench accident today, the big tackle box I use for storing small gun parts was precariously balanced and of course it fell off during a rather spirited session of kitchen table gunsmithing. :holysheep
This unfortunate incident led to scooping up all (I hope) of the gun bits and spreading them out on a nearby desk. I had a good time sorting, organizing and labeling but one item is a bit of a mystery to me. Was wondering if anyone could confirm my suspicions.
To fight cabin fever I thought it might be fun if someone else were to post the next mystery part, I have a few more that might be fun.

Do we get a hint? A picture? Dimensions?

[RayinNH]

Is it bigger than bread box.

Oops, let me try that again.

[Artful]

It's an aftermarket trigger? what actions you been working on?

[Reg]

Bold side safety trigger for a Springfield

[TXGunNut]

Pretty sure it's not aftermarket, most likely an OE takeout when I upgraded. Not a Springfield.

[Artful]

Well it's not a Mauser 98 military, M1 Carbine or Garand, Mini-14, AR15, HK91, Tikka T-3, Winchester Model 70 Ruger 10/22, Doesn't have the blade in the middle so not a Savage or Axis or Remington 700 - what other toys have you upgraded?

[376Steyr]

Factory trigger from the Remington 700 family.

Work on a remington lately? 700 or 788?

[wlc]

That's not from a 700. Poke in the dark. 600 or 660? I've not seen one of those triggers so just a guess.

Not lately but my parts collection started over 30 years ago.

[country gent]

Could it be from the rem, 721 722 series. ?

[TXGunNut]

Oops, just checked my suspect donor rifle and it seems my Remington hints were incorrect.

[TXGunNut]

I've only had 700 and 597 Remington rifles. It's not from the 597 and don't think it's from a 700, Artful would have known if it was.

Quite possibly, had forgotten about putting a Timney trigger in that rifle.

[TXGunNut]

Yes, I believe Artful is correct! Does appear to be the OE Vanguard trigger.
Next?

[Houndog]

It looks like a Timney aftermarket trigger for the Howa/S&W/Weatherby Vanguard to me. The gold anodized body is what makes me think it's a Timney.

What you got more mystery parts?
Suggestion - ziplock plastic bags with written descriptions.

I generally write the firearm info on the packaging for the replacement part. This one somehow slipped thru and I thought it would be fun to see how long it took for someone to figure it out. Didn't take you long, good job!
