I am going to get a trigger job on my new Pro Hunter and was thinking of sending it to Bullberry. If anyone has had a trigger job from them, please let me know how they did. Any other suggestions on where to send it would be greatly appreciated.

GBO Sponsors Match Grade Machine and SSK Industries come readily to mind.

Mike Bellm does a terrific job on Encore triggers or you can do it yourself with his instructions. Do a web search for his website address

SSK Industries...and they warranty their work...they did trigger jobs on all of my receivers...highly recommended.

Eabco ( E.Arthur Brown Com.) done mine with very satisfying results....

you can put the spring in yourself from the censored seller. really helps for a little money.

Go with Match Grade Machine or SSK Industries. You cannot go wrong spending your dollars with these guys.

How does the pro hunter trigger compare to a new Encore trigger??? I am hoping I didnt goof up....I have an Encore that is about 4 or 5 years old...i bought another one today for my son...I didnt pull the trigger on it....I will pick it up in a few day's I live in Illinois so I we have a waiting period....Got it for $499+tax...out the door for $540 ss synthetic 209x50 Couldnt pass it up

Davemuzz · « **Reply #9 on:** January 12, 2008, 05:43:45 PM »

The ProHunter and the Encore are the same frame and have the same "internals". The difference is the ProHunter has the engraving on the frame and the swinghammer option. So, chances are you will probably have the same heavy trigger pull on your new Encore that you did on your new ProHunter.

But, like I did with my ProHunter, send it out....have the trigger job done.....and be a happier Encore owner.

Does T/C still have the lifetime warranty? And will a light trigger spring or trigger job void that??

wareagleguy · « **Reply #11 on:** January 14, 2008, 01:54:46 PM »

Do you know you can do it yourself by simply bending a little tension out of the spring? I did mine and a friends in less than 5 minutes and both are breaking at a clean 2 pounds.

I have done that and also did a little polish work and got a great trigger.

I have been thinking about changing the spring in my encore. Is there any real advantage to changing the spring over bending. Did you just use Flitz or something similar. Any details would be appreciated.

Wow - Looks like I just wasted $100 on a premium trigger job! $:-\$

David D. · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2008, 02:14:24 PM »

No Flitz. Using directions from censored name I honed the points of contact with a very fine hone. After words I weaken the spring. I do have some frames that have after market springs in them but weakening the factory spring works just as well.

Coltdriver · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2008, 09:30:37 AM »

If you are comfortable taking the action apart I would suggest just treating the contacting parts with moly lube or the sprinco MOS2. I did mine this way with no other change, no buffing, nothing. I have a light smooth and crisp trigger that is just as good as it gets. I do use mine in the field primarly, if you want a very light trigger then having someone work on it may be a better route.

mbh78 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2008, 02:36:34 AM »

A buddy of mine downloaded instructions off the internet and has done several. Not really too much too it. I had mine done a few years ago and it is a crisp, clean 17 ounces.

cwop · « **Reply #18 on:** April 05, 2008, 07:09:05 AM »

well the bend the spring thing very easy to do. i will give the instructions again and save you cash.

1. take every thing off the frame.

2. remove the screw the only one to remove the trigger guard

3. push the pin out that holds the trigger you cant miss it

4. take a minute and look things over. you will see a spring with an L on it take a flat screwdirer and bend it back once or twice. put it all back together you will have a 1-2lb trigger and it will work great.

thats it

What do i need to do an old contender trigger mid 80's frame? The trigger has some crept and heavy. thanks for any replies.

gingus · « **Reply #20 on:** April 28, 2008, 09:30:32 AM »

When bending the L on the spring, do you bend it in the direction of where the barrel mounts , or back toward the the buttstock mount? I assume it is toward the barrel, considering the spring rests against the pin holding the trigger assembly in and would be very difficult to bend "back". I have bent it a few times (bending it toward the barrel) and while it did move it from approx. 5 1/2 lbs down to 4 lbs, I cannot get it any lower. I would like to have around 2 1/2-3 lbs. Any assistance?

Thanks, Gingus

Yes and No - at least I've never heard of any warranty issues due to a little 'smithing. What will happen if it goes back is they will undo your expensive trigger job and replace with std factory parts.

cwop · « **Reply #22 on:** April 30, 2008, 10:36:33 AM »

bend it towards the barrell. you will fell the tension. do it 2 times no more put it back together then if it s not light enough bend it some more but dont go crazy this next time. i put in the spring and went back and redone it much better trigger now

I did mine today and it was simple and the trigger pull is a lot lighter much better. Thanks all for the easy cheap fix.

sparky141 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 07, 2008, 01:33:42 PM »

Would the process be the same for a G2 contender ?

cwop · « **Reply #25 on:** May 07, 2008, 03:02:15 PM »

yep the g-2 has a little ring on the L spring. when you put the pin back in this has to go under the pin.

Ray Cover · « **Reply #26 on:** May 08, 2008, 04:11:55 AM »

I did mine a couple days ago and it did make for a much better trigger but I worked the heavy spring left inside when the trigger is taken out not the little one on the trigger with the loop in it.

Man oh man it did make for a nice trigger.

cwop · « **Reply #27 on:** May 08, 2008, 10:57:24 AM »

please sent me 25.00 asap so i can buy more contender stuff

sparky141 · « **Reply #28 on:** May 08, 2008, 04:57:58 PM »

Thanks

I 'll have to open it up and see what we can accomplish this weekend .

CObullBuster · « **Reply #29 on:** May 09, 2008, 06:52:30 AM »

would ya'll recommend this on a brand new SST ProHunter? I'm iffy about doing this, but don't know where i can buy the proper items or have it done at a decent price.... any help on those would be great. BUT, again, do you guys think I should do this on my brand new and ONLY encore? thanks
