Is lightening the sear/magazine spring a valid way to lighten trigger pull?

Glad to see my thread got shared here pretty quick. What I learned there turned me off mucking around too much with the trigger assembly, and besides I am a lowsey shot anyway so I can't pretend I'll get better just with a lighter trigger haha.

Your thread? Did you used to use another name here?

In any case.... When I was pursuing this route I bought a spare C-piece (or two?), sear, spring, and trigger. I figured if I screw up the experiment with those parts, I'll have still my original set. As an owner of a rifle it can be frustrating when things aren't "perfect" but near perfect. I only paid $200 US for this #4, 16-17 years ago maybe? (I have no idea what a similar one would cost now.) It was in darn near perfect shape, pristine looking bore. It wasn't until getting it home and later using it at a range that I discovered its trigger is on the heavy side. Often the well meant advice is "buy a different rifle if you don't like this trigger". My response is always, No! The issue can't be that extreme. Buy another rifle that seems to have a better trigger, then get it home and find out it has some other issue that the current one doesn't? No thanks.
