Cooper TRP Trigger

I have a newer TRP-3. Almost immediately after picking it up, I ordered a Jard 2 oz. trigger. I installed it and was not impressed with the creep. Someone suggested that I moly the sear.......I tried it.... and the creep went away. I've shot this rifle a good bit since in local club matches, but have still never been satisfied with the trigger. It does not have the crisp break in which I like. I called Cooper this morning to see if they would work on my factory trigger. I even offered to sign a liability waiver if they could get it down low. I have not received a final answer from them yet......but the fellow I spoke with told me I could talk to the plant manager, but his answer was likely to be no. My father has an older TRP in which I adjusted the trigger. It is not near 2 oz. (maybe 6-8), but I swear it is better than the Jard. Do I have any other options? I thought about trying to mess with my factory trigger or maybe take it to a gunsmith and tell them to "go nuts". I really like this gun and it shoots like crazy....but I would like to get the kind of trigger I want. I would even be willing to buy a custom made trigger assembly if one were available.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
 
Some of the early model 36 coopers could be up graded to a Jewel trigger. Cooper went bankrupt and left Jewel holding the bag! Jewel has said they would not build a trigger now for a Cooper @ $50,000 a piece! A guy that was at Champion Shooters in Ohio (Wussi) that had been on team Cooper collected those Triggers . Carl @ Champion Shooters could help you get in touch with Wussi. They are rare but do exist! Jewel would probaly spit if you asked them!

Moly the Sear to take away creep?? :eek:
A good gunsmith who understands the basics of a 3 lever trigger can get out the creep - anything other then lighter fluid will only degrade the trigger. ;)
 
Yeah...I was a little skeptical of the "moly method". But, I tried it anyway. Seemed like a quick fix though. I just got off the phone with a gunsmith. I think he is going to try to do something with the Jard.
