Lightening the Trigger Pull ? (03A3)

[Hylander]

Thanks for the input.
Where might I get a lighter Rebound spring ?
I hate heavy Triggers, all my hunting guns are #2.5 or lighter.
My Varmint rifle is #1.75, even my Carry 1911 is only #3.25
Only thing that is heavier is my Carry Glock at #4.25 and that is because Glock triggers just are not very workable
Anywho I will do some Stoning and try to find a lighter Rebound spring.

What about a Hubard Trigger ?
This is for my Sporter so worries with Originality

I

Woolf Spring has sear springs for O3's:
Springs for SPRINGFIELD Rifles & Shotguns

Unfortunately there is no spec so whether they are lighter, heavier about the same is anybody's guess. you could try calling them i suppose. They might even be able to wind something special.

Another thing you can do is totally strip the assembly. make sure everything is scrupulously clean, deburred and well but not over lubricated.

good luck!

Hylander,

I like Jim G's approach. Maybe very slightly bevel the inside slot edges of the sear with a Swiss file. Clean everything well and then take a fine brass brush with oil and polish the top of the trigger, sear and sear notch on the bolt assembly. Then polish everything with Flitz.

A trigger is cheap if you want to try the stoning and mess it up, I like a project, but only replace a part if it doesn't work.

Marine armorers certainly knew their stuff. Best trigger on any rifle I have ever owned in a USMC M1903. Have no idea how that was done.

Let us know how it works out.
