trigger needs some attention- a good clean up at the least- breaks at maybe 4lb

anyone with any links to how to disassemble trigger and adjust be appreciated.

Further to what has already been written re trigger, I had some real trouble with mine because some 'worthy' had assembled it incorrectly in the past. Gundoc posted a very good factory diagram of the assembly. To lighten the trigger I replaced the trigger spring with an aftermarket Tikki T3 Yo Dave spring as they are near enough the same length and diametre. The trigger 'Pall' / sear engagement can also be adjusted but I left it with full engagement as I dont trust the slop on old pins etc to be safe if adjusted. All parts were polished on the faces that contact the box. The internal walls of the box also polished. Polishing made a marked difference
Ended up with a very good light trigger that has a little backlash and creep but is totally safe

yeah mate- I saw that post by Gundoc and sent my trigger to him for a tidy up- its now brilliant 2 stage, first pull is like 1 or 2mm and then crisp let off ,I'm very very happy.
