Winchester model 88 trigger
« on: January 21, 2007, 04:48:57 AM »
I just recently pulled out my retired (15 years) Model 88 and started shooting it at the range. After enjoying and hunting with two different bolt action rifles, I find that the trigger on the model 88 hasn't improved with age. Does anyone know a gunsmith, preferably in PA that does good work on these triggers. I'm not looking for perfection, just a little improvement.

There isn't a lot which can be done with them.  I talked to my gunsmith back in Alaska and he showed me an article from the NRA where they stated that, because of the design where the trigger moves with the lever, it was impossible to improve it.  I had mine refinished with Black-T and the teflon helped a lot.  It still feels like a sponge, though!
