Did a non invasive trigger job to my Sportster.

The sportster that I have squirrel hunted with, the last two yrs., had a very clean/crisp trigger, but it was 5 1/2 lbs.  At the suggestion of my gunsmith, I bought an aerosol can of liquid graphite, and completely soaked the trigger area.  After it dried, I followed a suggestion in the FAQs section on handi rifles.  I put a snap cap in and fired the gun 15-20 times.  Then, I cocked the hammer, and while holding it back, I squeezed the trigger hard for a few seconds, then let the hammer down.  I did this 15-20 times.  I took it back to my smith and had the trigger checked again.  It went from 5 1/2 lbs., down to a very clean 2 1/2 lbs!  To say I was a happy camper, is an understatement!

your sportster (squirrel) hunting posts. Has put me into the search for the perfect hunting sportster hunting rifle. So far I have the 17mach2 sportster and the 17hmr on order, so now I am looking to get the .22 mag and .22 long rifle. Then I have to send out the stocks and have em camo dipped. 


How about posting a pic of your rifle again, and what pattern did you have done on your rifle?

Here's a pic of the rifle from last season.  I honestly don't remember the pattern.

Thanks! I found a guy locally to do camo dipping, so I will take a pic of it in and have him try to match something similar to it.  looks like a great pattern for squirrel hunting.... I have a couple of other patterns that I want to have done for my other rifles too....
