Are you interested in rifle accuracy? Let Ernie the Gunsmith help accurize your rifle!
On this site, you will find the largest selection of light trigger springs for rifles available anywhere. A "trigger
job" which includes a lighter trigger spring, and a "stress free" pillar bedding job are two of the most effective
ways available to increase rifle accuracy.
If you want a lighter trigger pull,
you need a lighter trigger spring! I have worked with gunsmiths in the past who, when
the subject turned to trigger springs, preferred to clip them, grind them, heat them, bend them, smash them, or simply back
out the weight of pull screw until there was no or almost no pressure on the spring. With any of these methods, you get
a spring whose rate is rapidly rising as the trigger is pulled. As the trigger is released, the spring rate rapidly
decreases as it approaches full or near-full extension. A more uniform weight of pull will be achieved when the trigger
spring is compressed within its normal working range throughout the entire movement of the trigger. Finally, we
all have access to rifle trigger springs that will lighten your rifle trigger pull without having to resort to any
of the above procedures. In the long run, the benefits of saved time, plus
more uniform and reliable results, will more than offset the cost of these springs. If you want a lighter trigger
pull, you need a lighter trigger spring.
P.S. The "smash them"
technique was suggested to me by a Remington service representative of long ago.
