Are the triggers any better on the Illion guns?

Judging only by the new one I just bought, I would say no.  However, I would hone the trigger regardless so it really doesn't matter to me.

I kind of figured it didn't change but I was hoping.

H&R triggers can be stoned to about 2 - 2 1/2 pounds and can be crisp, if done properly. There is over travel that can not be taken care of easily, but the crispness and the over all pull is the most important to me. Look in the FAQ on how to do a trigger job, it is not that difficult. ;) Good Luck and Good Shooting

I recently purchased a handi-rifle in .243 (bull barrel), which was manufactured in Gardner, Mass. I've yet to shoot it, just ordered my Burris Signature rings. I read a posting a few days ago that said trigger jobs are a must on this type of rifle. From the information that I read, the individual said that the factory will perform a free trigger job if you request it. I contacted the company and found out that the customer can perform the same trigger procedure that is done at Ilion. I asked if there are any legal issues to this and I was told that there are no issues with this procedure. The technical assistant told me to use powdered graphite in the trigger assembly, working the hammer and trigger for a minimum of ten minutes. Once completed, just blow out the residual with compressed air. I was informed that this process should knock off about 2 lbs. from your trigger pull.

don't be afraid to work on your trigger,lot's of info in the faq.It may seem hard but after the first one(i've done four)it's a routine job....start to finish takes about 30 minutes.....it's not hard,if it was i wouldn't be able to do it

Using powdered graphite has been discussed before.

 :-[  ;D..and I even posted on it ;D Getting old at 28 forgetting my posts.
If it works well, I can see how it would be a fast solution for the factory. Save them a lot of time. Still not crazy about dry fireing the Handi, but I differ from some in this opinion.
