MSR-15 Recon two-stage trigger
Hello all, long-time Savage owner, first time poster, and first time MSR-15 owner (as are most of us).
So in one of my rare, early adopter impulses I purchased a MSR-15 Recon chambered in 224V (model 22931) which comes with a two-stage trigger. I am OK with the general feel of the trigger, and this is coming from someone who has a sub-MOA 12BVSS with the accutrigger adjusted to a light pull. HOWEVER, I would like to reduce the pull on the second stage. It is just a tad too much for target shooting.
I have seen that the Blackhawk two-stage trigger (that this lower comes with) was sold with two spring sets. I did not get the second spring set with the gun, which I presume is normal. However, looking at the springs in the supplied lower, the hammer spring is not colored, and the trigger spring is blue; as advertised, blue is not the color of one of the springs in the Blackhawk trigger set. I am guessing based on the number of coils that this is not the lightest option?
I am wondering whether anyone has tried replacing the trigger springs with a lighter set, like the yellow ones from JP for example,

So, before anyone makes the normal suggestion, this is a boron surface-hardened trigger set and I am NOT going to try any polishing or other modification on the sear or anywhere else. Also, please avoid suggestions on just replacing it with some $300 Geissele set. I would prefer to try a lighter spring set before doing that, my choice.
Thanks
