Any Sportster Trigger-Lightening Tips Out There?
« on: May 08, 2012, 03:41:03 PM »
I know you used to be able to send Handi-Rifles back to the factory for free/ low-cost trigger jobs, but are there any user-doable improvements, beside polishing? Do appreciate the suggestion (in FAQs) to be sure to pull the trigger all the way back when firing to aid accuracy; will try that.

Trigger work info can be found in the FAQs, same for Ilion's trigger work info, they still do em, but they may charge $20(plus shipping of course) depending on the current pull weight.

Pad the hammer fall and dry-fire it about 500 times, then take it apart, clean and dry the hammer notch and trigger sear tip and put a little dab of automotive 'anti-seize' compound on it and reassemble.
BTW, you can buy little packets of that goo at O-Reilly's Auto Parts for cheap, or beg a thimble-full off your mechanic.
