Anyone I can send my BLR (miruko) to ,to have the slack taken out of the trigger? Don't want a bench rester but don't want to have to drag a gun around with a rope B4 it goes off. And B4 the answer "Any good smith" comes out , uh no. From what I can tell these fellas want someone who's done many
 
I don't know if you did a search yet but there are no gunsmiths I know of who have done a lot of these as it it is very time consuming and most customers will balk at the billable hours required as the gun must be assembled and disassembled several times to get it right. Also the action must be timed correctly each time as well, I had one done once and the smith told me he'd never do another due to the time it took him.
 
Have a BLR in .30-06 for hunting. That is what it is, a hunting rifle. I had to add material to stock to raise cheek and thought of modifying the trigger as it is a bit heavy. Believe it is less expensive to pick up a few boxes of ammo and get used to it. Great rifle for short to medium range, was never intended to be a presicion long range rifle. I am now in a market for a quality bolt action to get a rifle that can reach out a little further as I target shoot as well. Not sure if I will keep the BLR or trade. I do like it for what it is worth, sucker for lever action rifles. :) I have read some articles on trigger "Adjustments" for the BLR and the easiest way is to change the trigger spring, unfortunately it is timeconsuming as other poster mentioned. Good Luck

So I guess that's that
Well as usual, in a country of "We can't do that's" I'll do it myself

Good luck with that... it is not as easy as it sounds.

I am one who can do BLR triggers and choose not to any more. There are no adjustments to be made, you have to alter the sears. After careful alteration (hopefully in the correct direction) assemble and try it. Repeat until you have what you want. Hopefully you don't get to a point where you need to buy new parts and start over. I stopped doing BLR triggers because of the time and cost. I have always worked on the premise of if I screw it up I pay for it and I don't want to do BLR triggers with that thought and cost hanging over the job.
 
And when it is all done, don't expect it to be like a bolt action trigger with no take up... due to the mechanism a small amount of take up (trigger movement) is required for reliable function. It should be crisp after that...
 
Took a turn off the mainspring. Not a great or even good trigger yet, but enough less drag on the trigger that it can be used. There's no need for a hammer to strike so hard that when dry firing You can feel the gun lunge forward like a crossbow
 
I am going to say it before Guntech does, cutting coils of is a risky business. Stoning the sear and the hammer are the way to get to a lighter trigger pull, the angle of the surface to the pivot point is what you need to pay particular attention to. Stoning the surfaces, not filing. A little at a time nd test, that means full reassembly, by the time you get it right you will be able to assemble that blr in a minute!!

Cutting coils is not near as risky as working the sears... if you screw it up coil replacement is cheap compared to new sears...
