m94 trigger help
« on: June 21, 2009, 03:49:41 AM »
i have a 1942 m94 winchester and would like to work on the trigger a little...the problem is i have never disassembled this rifle.It was completely disassembled when i restored it(a family heirloom) but it was done by a gunsmith. I have 3 H+R rifles that i've done trigger jobs on and have taken great care to get the pull weights identical(about 3.25 lbs according to my "gauge"). Perfect for me is when i can position my finger on the trigger without it going bang and then make it break with a slight but concious effort. My m94 breaks at a clean 4.5 but it is heavier enough that it seems like it takes forever for it to break.Can't help but think i would shoot it better if i could get closer to the H+R's pull weight.From what i've read here i assume my m94 has a flat mainspring instead of the newer coil type. I've been successful working on guns so far,able to disassemble and reassemble with schematics etc and need some info on disassembly/reassembly for this gun and hopefully some tips on where to focus my efforts to take about a pound of pull off this trigger....Mike

If you have the ability to set the trigger up so that you can simply polish the sear contact surface and the same for the hammer hook contact area there is a good chance you will loose the extra pound there. BUT do NOT change the sear angle or hammer hook angle as this puts you in dangerous territory.  Without some form of jig the hold the trigger I would not recommend doing it.

You can easily drop a pound off the trigger by carefully adjusting the trigger stop spring. But don't bend it to far, if you do the trigger stop will become inoperable allowing the trigger to be pulled before the finger lever is completely closed.

i found some info,took it apart,mostly just cleaned it up and polished a little bit with 600 without altering anything,put it back together and i got about half a pound and i'm done....it breaks a little quicker and i know the gun a lot better for having done it..so i'm happy. Thanks for the replys

Thanks! I knew it was around somewhere, and it wasn't on Capt. Bayard's site.
