New to mil.surps-aia m10 b2 match

[bros]

Hi, I'm a new member, glad to be on board. I know the AIA Australian rifles are not surplus rifles because as far as I know they have never or probably better still will never be adopted as a military rifle, but nevertheless I am still posting the following question. That being said I happen to own a AIA M10 B2 match rifle and with the limited shooting I have done so far I am very impressed with overall quality and accuracy, the only problem so far is the trigger. Has any body out there who owns one done anything to lighten pull and overall produce a much better trigger? The manufacturer could have done a little more to the trigger on a rifle they sold as a "match" rifle. I also own a N#4 MK1 faz and a Irish contract N#4 MK1, I would also like to produce a better trigger with these two as well, I have been looking at the "Huber Concept" triggers, at least there are no permanent modifications that have to be made. You're insight would be greatly appreciated.

Get in touch with AIA in Australia. I seem to remember something about a trigger fix they were offering. That was a few years back. Maybe some of the more knowledgeable fellows will chime in here.

One thing about Lee Enfields, they have two stage trigger pulls that feel heavy and mushy at the same time, until you get used to them. Then, you find that they are very repeatable.

I like both of my AIA rifles. Both extremely accurate with milsurp and hand loads. The only complaint I have with them, is that when they are all decked out with a bi-pod, sling, cheek pad, scope and fully loaded, they peg in around 12 pounds. Which of course makes them a very stable platform for target shooting but no hell for shooting coyotes or carrying over hill and dale.

I also have an M10-B2, was not pleased with the (very) heavy trigger pull either.

I bought a Huber Concepts trigger and fitted it. While it does give a very nice smooth feel to the trigger, and can be set for single pulloff, I remain to be convinced that it actually lightens the trigger pull effort by itself.

To get a lighter pull weight, I believe that you could get good results just by working on the existing trigger and cocking piece, following the normal methods used for .303s. I think there may be some technical articles by Peter Laidler on how to go about this procedure, to be found on this forum.

This would then alleviate the need for buy the expensive after-market trigger. If you do decide to go for the Huber trigger, now is probably a good time while the exchange rate $AUS to $US is so good.
