Depends on the age of the Howa though - the originals ( or before the HACT type triggers - now they were a pig!! ) I replaced that with a Timney only as I didnt have the skill nor tooling to make it the improvements it needed.

Having a HACT type trigger also on a later purchase, I did go the route of replacing the two springs in the trigger assembly, as unable to take it down under 3lbs (approx) pull. I used these guys - https://highvelocityhuntingaustralia...er-spring-kit/ - took 15 minutes to change over... What a difference!


I DID ask them to NOT state its intended use, but to put a generic description to bypass the fine mesh filter of customs.. ( cough )
