I recently acquired an M44 with a bad trigger. The previous owner never noticed it the way he shoots. I decided to buy it anyway because the price was right even with the problem, and that is that the trigger pull is TERRIBLE.
If you attempt to shoot it properly i.e. squeeze the trigger, it is very (and I mean VERY) SPONGY and will not fire. If you yank the trigger with more force, it will fire, but it's gotta be a quick jerk to do so.

I should have enough skill to repair/replace any components. I'd like to get an idea where to start though. Has anyone had this problem? What are the possible causes of this?

Thanks.
