85TSS Receiver Specifications

Receiver
The 85TSS receiver is produced in two sizes; a standard frame for twelve gauge models, and smaller frame for all 20, 28, and .410 gauge models.  The receiver is cut from a forged steel ingot by computerized CNC machines to precise dimensions measured in thousandths of an inch.  The final result is a low profile box lock receiver with a modified “Greener” style crossbolt locking mechanism inletted at the top of the receiver.  The strength of this design ensures that your SKB is capable of & providing a lifetime of shooting enjoyment.  The receiver is hand polished and enhanced with a rolled arabesque engraving pattern.  It is then protected by a silver nitride finish applied in super heated conditions that provides a corrosion resistant surface.

Monobloc
The monobloc is also cut from a forged steel ingot by computerized CNC machines to similar precise dimensions.  The monobloc contains 2 locking lugs which engage the crossbolt, 2 integral shoulder lugs and a base lug which interlocks with the receiver as the action is closed.  This combination forms one of the strongest actions on the market.  The barrel tubes are seated and soldered into the monoblock to ensure the correct point of impact of both the top and bottom barrel.  Each side of the monoblock is precisely cut for a single piece ejector and the pivot seat.  The finished barrel group rotates at the pivot seat on two trunnions mounted through the sides of the receiver.  After years of use, the SKB action can be easily re-tightened if need be, ensuring that your shotgun maintains a tight fit for many more years of service.

Trigger Group
The non-detachable trigger system of the 85TSS has been improved with a design refinement to reduce engagement creep and over-travel.  This new tournament trigger allows the sear to disengage and drop with less pull weight.  The shooter feels a smooth and crisp trigger pull.  The hammers are powered by  “modified V” shaped springs that provide faster lock times than conventional coil springs.  The firing order of the barrels is determined by the position of the barrel selector.  The selector is located in the trigger blade keeping its operation separate from the tang mounted manual safety.
