trigger

[jacob rankin]

i just bought a new winchester 1885 high wall,and it has a 4 # trigger... i take it to gunsmiths and they won't touch it,and say its not adjustable,and just leave it alone,,, it's so hard,, i try to use the sand bags and it will drag the rifle of the bags before it will go off... is this a mistake to buy this gun,or can the trigger be fixed to where it will shoot computition?

I am sure these guys can do it.

I also know they have a heck of a backlog and may be a while before they could get to it.

trigger job

A qualified person should be able to help you but one word of caution; there are many trigger butchers. Most triggers require a light stoning and polishing of contact surfaces being careful not to change existing sear engagement geometries or ruin case hardened parts. A reduced rate spring can complete the total package. Too many people over stone and clip spring coils which will yield a quick and measureable improvement, but is not the right way to go about it. Do your homework and search the right person out, don't just let anyone do it.

Try the Factory Hybrid forum we just don't see many winchester 1885 high wall rifles on the line at BR matches.

Jacob;
What caliber is the rifle??? The trigger may not be the limiting factor.
