Trigger Job?
« on: May 23, 2009, 07:13:20 AM »
Just got back from the range to test some loads for the 357 Maximum using Winchester 296 powder and Hornady 180 grain XTP’s. The load that looks very good is 21.5 grains and with a string of 3 shots, they are practically touching each other. I know the rifle can do better with this load but the trigger pull on it is pretty heavy and rough. I have read the FAQ articles on how to do a trigger job and I’m fully capable of doing it myself but I really don’t have the time to do it I’m in the middle of a home building addition/renovation project. I was wondering if there are any gunsmiths out there that can do it for me. Any suggestions?   

Thanks,
Maine1

your talkin like no more then a hour of work time , its not hard whats so ever.


i would think most gunsmiths would do it dont know how much it would cost but if you really wanted to go that route just find sombody close enough to drive to so you dont have to ship it

If you don't feel like taking it apart, there is always the second method found in the FAQs.
Cock the hammer and put forward pressure on the back of the hammer with your thumb (easier to do if you have a hammer spur attached)....NOT TOO MUCH!... then using your other hand to catch the hammer from engaging the transfer bar, pull the trigger. Try this a couple times and see what a difference it will make. It helps smooth out the trigger and should lighten it up.
