About this product
What is the Taurus TX22 Installation Block? The Taurus TX22 Installation Block is a precision-machined gunsmithing tool designed to simplify trigger assembly by ensuring proper alignment and preventing damage during installation. This tool is engineered specifically for the Taurus TX22 platform, addressing common frustrations with trigger group installation. It serves as an essential aid for both DIY enthusiasts and professional gunsmiths working on this firearm.
What is the Taurus TX22 Installation Block used for?
The Taurus TX22 Installation Block is used to secure the firearm's frame during trigger assembly, preventing misalignment and potential damage. It holds the frame rigidly at a 15-degree angle, optimizing access to the trigger group pins. This reduces installation time from an average of 12 minutes to under 3 minutes for experienced users.
How does the Taurus TX22 Installation Block compare to the Real Avid Master Gun Vise?
The Taurus TX22 Installation Block outperforms the Real Avid Master Gun Vise for TX22-specific work due to its dedicated frame compatibility and optimized angle. While the Master Gun Vise offers universal adaptability, our block provides superior stability and precision for TX22 trigger installations. The Master Gun Vise requires additional adapters and adjustments, adding unnecessary complexity to a straightforward task.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The installation block weighs 185 grams (6.5 ounces) and measures 120mm x 80mm x 40mm (4.7" x 3.1" x 1.6"). These dimensions provide a stable base while maintaining portability for field use. The weight distribution ensures the block remains stationary during operation without requiring additional clamping force.
Who is this NOT for?
This installation block is not for users working on firearms other than the Taurus TX22. The tool's specific frame cutouts and alignment features are designed exclusively for the TX22 platform. Attempting to use it with other firearms may result in improper fitment and potential damage to both the tool and the firearm. For multi-platform gunsmithing, consider our M&P 2.0 Forced Reset Trigger system instead.
What's in the box?
The package contains one precision-machined aluminum installation block, one set of installation instructions, and one anti-slip rubber base pad. The block features three precisely located alignment pins measuring 3mm in diameter each. Total package weight is 210 grams including all components and documentation.
Is the Taurus TX22 Installation Block worth it at $25?
At $25, the installation block provides excellent value by preventing potentially costly damage to your TX22 frame during trigger installation. The tool pays for itself after 2-3 uses by eliminating the risk of marring the frame or bending trigger pins. For users installing our 22TY forced reset trigger, this block becomes an essential companion tool that ensures proper function and reliability.
