Wild west trigger install
« on: March 19, 2005, 07:54:03 AM »
Got the Wild West trigger for my 1895 CB and of coarse it did not come with instructions.  I know I can do the install, but the only info I have on the firearm is the factor parts list.  I'm a bit reluctant to go removing sideplate screw without knowing just how screwed I might get.  Don't want to go launching springs around the house.  Anyone able to explain the procedure?
Thanks
Peter

Here is a good website you can figure it all out from here.  Its not terribly complex once you get it taken apart.   HOpe this helps

Well I got it done.  It was easier than I expected.  I have removed the lever and bolt in the past for cleaning.  Just needed to go a step beyond.  This was a great addtion.  Went from 6-1/2 lb floppy pull to 2-1/4 lb crisp.  Can't wait to shoot it.

Does that trigger completely eliminate the floppy effect that the Marlin stockers have?

It did on mine and I assume it does on all.  Other than being a bit pricey.  It is a worthwhile modification.  I don't know what it would cost to have a gunsmith do something similar with the original trigger.  I recommend it.

Thanks, PeterB.  Good to know that a drop in fix is available and even better to know that it's easy enough for a do-it-yourselfer to attempt.
