Author Topic: Marlin Camp Carbine in 9MM - Trigger is horible (Read 1499 times)

I have a Marlin Camp Carbine in 9mm that is a lot of fun to shoot. It is very accurate with cast bullets and would probably be more accurate if the trigger was better. Is there anything I can do to smooth the trigger pull and make it lighter? It has about the worst trigger pull of any gun I have ever owned.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have not worked with one of these but all autos suffer from limitations in their trigger actions. Some are worse than need be.. Take it to a local pro and let him give you an estimate on a trigger job... He may not be able to make it perfect but improvements ARE possible...

Gunnut69,

I had hoped for an easy, inexpensive solution that I could do myself. I think you are probably right about taking it to a gunsmith.

Thanks!

As I said before I've never worked on this specific model but in general the cheaper weapons and especially the autoloaders tend to involve more in trigger jobs than the norm. The real problem usually lies in the fact that before the trigger can be adjusted it must be stabilized. There can't be any wobble or slop if we are going to minimise the sear engagements. That's where the real cost of a trigger job can mount up... Good luck with the CampCarbine. Keep us apprised of your progress..
