Rouge River Arms is offering a trigger job similar to Kivaari's. Anyone try out this service? I would prefer the experience of Kivaari, but shipping is a pain.
Domestic SKS trigger job offered. Testimonials?

hmmm, I have thought about doing it myself. The springs are the easy part, very much plug and play. It is the sear modification that is the issue. I have the mechanical inclination... I can get the tools, but triggers are something I do not want to f@uk up. I rather get someone with a bit more experience to get it done. Either way, I am going to spend some money.
Your choice. If you don't feel comfortable with messing with triggers it's a good idea not to touch them.
If you're mechanically inclined just go for it. If you screw it up order a new sear from SKS man and try again.
I did it myself, and it turned out fantastically. Just take your time with it and don't take too much material off at a time. Slow and steady will win this race.
Honestly these rifles aren't worth spending money on a trigger job... IMO anyway.

I would get it done by a pro if your not 100% confident you can do it.
You can fix anything it just cost's money.
Sorry guys but I have seen way to many people way to many people bring in home done trigger job's and go look what I did its so light and crisp.
And what they have actually done is make a very unsafe gun a decent whack with a mallet or drop on the floor and off it would go.
remember OP that every guy on a forum can do it and it was so simple. What you never get to see on the interweb is the job they did.
So if you do go for it. Go slow check it often and when you think you have enough don't go that extra little bit. That little extra bit is usually to much LOL.
And don't second guess yourself and over think I did that alot when I first started doing trigger's. And if I had gone with my gut I would have made more money.

Good advice.. I was EXTRA careful when doing the sear and made sure that there were no engagement issues. Afterwards, I tested by dropping the gun on the floor (butt-first, of course) 10x
Purposely left a bit of creep as I didn't want a hair-trigger.

The gun in question passes the bump check, it will not fire if pumped or dropped. The hammer does creep forward when the trigger is pulled slightly. At that point it will fire when dropped. I am only concerned with the safety aspect of this trigger job. The lighter pull is just a byproduct
I will weight out my options. If it is cheaper to buy a few $9 sears from Marstar and a file, I will do it myself.
Thanks for the tips.

Honestly it doesn't take much work. Even running a jewelers file over the contact areas to knock down the high spots smooths it out and reduces pull a noticeable amount. Cut 2 coils off each spring for the same effect as a Wolff spring kit. With a stone you can slowly make gradual progress on the sear engagement. Test fit and function periodically to make sure youre going in the right direction and if you fudge your sear just grab a new one from Marstar or the Paul the SKSman. If youre mechanically inclined at all then you can do it. If youre not then you can probably do it.
Positive, negative,neutral if you don't, know what that means when your talking SKS then take it to someone who know! Bought my SKS about six months ago, #### it safety off ( empty of coarse ) and one hit to the side of the stock and it would fire all by itself!!!! Not good but a half hour ( and the utube video ) and know you can bump the stock on the floor with no response. Love the gun and will never sell it!! Can't say it enough great gun!!
The shop is fairly new,, but the guys there are great. Very helpful and knowledgeable.
