Hey kamlooky , thanks for your reply . Yes I've cleaned , cleaned , and cleaned again . The only thing I can think of now is doing some FILING which in my experience may not be the best thing !! If I file some off the sear ,then the contact may be less ,and there for easier to pull the trigger . But as one files you can easily get pass the point of no return ..
Cheers

One can always add some silver solder to the sear and some small honing stones can do wonders ..with a steady hand of course.
Have you heard of the web site .22rimfire ?
I'd hold off on polishing until you eliminate the possibility of a mechanical issue. Even 400 grit can quickly ruin a trigger if you don't know your way around trigger work.
Post up some photos of the trigger group, we might be able to help.

Thanks for your input , that's probably where I'll end up going . May try 300 grit just to say I tried .
Thanks for your input . May give the 400 grit a try , just to say I did try . I won't be taking of much . Unable to post pictures do to a extreme lack of computer skills ..lol . Taking it to a smith may be the best solution .
Did you actually disassemble the trigger group, or just hose it out with an aerosol? If it was clean the first time thru a second and third go around shouldn't be needed.
If you disassembled then you should be able to determine when, where and what parts are the issue. Don't alter any parts until you have determined why the issue exists.
Fair enough - It can be hard to find replacement parts if you mess something up, and the fire control parts are listed as "gunsmith fit only" by Browning. But it's your gun to do with as you please.
Another "maybe" solution worth checking: Look for fouling or corrosion where the sear catches the firing pin, on both parts. Both contact points should be smooth, flat, and with no burrs.
With the bolt removed from the trigger guard / trigger group assembly, check for "normal" function of the fire control group (from the trigger through the sear). The trigger pull should be smooth and pretty light in this condition. Tension from the firing pin spring adds weight to the trigger pull, after the bolt is assembled on the trigger guard.
Disassembly video for an older top load model, may be useful:
Thanks for the input Lodi . I am going to take a look at the youtube video and go from there .
Excellent video ,thank you . I'll take my time and go through it step by step . Pressed for time this long weekend but will look at it next week
Cheers
