Trigger Work

[Nahum]

A shout out to Dave Hoback for reworking the trigger on my 112. He removed all the side movement, slicked everything up & installed a new wire spring. Works very nice now & for no cost to me. I'll label him one of the good guys. :cool:

What's the pull weight after the rework?

Sorry but I have no trigger pull gauge. It is noticeably lighter though.

Has Dave done a You-tube type instruction. Looks like a 3 screw trigger and I'd like to know how he took the side play out and how he polished the sear.

Shims take the slop out and a lighter spring makes it break better lighter weight. Polishing the parts make it less gritty.

Side play is removed by measuring the total play with with a feeler gauge, divide by 2, and order shims of that thickness, one on each side of the trigger.

Myself and others, do not care for the term “polish” when applied to the trigger sear. I “stone” the sear release area, making it square and even, with no rounded edges. I use a fish hook sharpening stone. It can be done without removing the sear from the action.

A jig also works nicely for some jobs.

If it feels better, you're ahead of the game. Love the barrel on that long action.

Another thing the shim job does besides taking out the slop is it helps control the angular alignment due to the clearance between the pi and the trigger pin bore. I have found that it makes the trigger slightly more consistent at the break.

for the novice, be very careful when stoning a trigger and sear. the hard surface is VERY thin!

Very.
