I wanna crisp up the trigger on my mark II. And advise? I find the pull too light and am afraid of an accident happening because of it


As well. The seat block? Visible just about the mag well when you have the action stripped. What happens if that is reinstalled incorrectly. Or not installed at all?
 
I measured mine at 2.5 pounds and quite like it. I find the light trigger helps the gun's accuracy and most people try to find ways to lighten their triggers for that reason.
I would suggest trying to get used to it. If that fails, try a different gun, perhaps a revolver. I just got a Ruger SP101 revolver and it has a very heavy double stage trigger that you might prefer.
 
I'm afraid you'll need to post a picture or something like a link to a parts schematic and tell us which number item this "seat block" is. I can't figure out what you mean. ALL of the moving parts need to be in place and need to be oriented correctly or the action simply won't work.

As for the trigger just how sensitive IS it? If someone installed an aftermarket trigger and hammer I suppose I can see it being pretty sensitive. Or if Bubba had his way with the insides perhaps? But if it's a nice positive but light trigger I can't see the issue. Just keep your finger off the darn thing until ready.

Or is it so bad that you think you can just bump the outside moderately and it'll go off? That suggests Bubba was inside the gun. In that case order up and install a new stock hammer and stock sear. In THIS SCHEMATIC they are parts 51 and 21 respectively. These are the two that set the effort and travel needed by the trigger.

This assumes that the sear spring part #53 is installed correctly. Which is actually pretty tricky to do.
 
Part 51 is what I was talking about. I mean sear block but must have gotten auto corrected

If by bubba you mean me. Yes I do disassemble my gun and correctly put it back together.

It is not an unreasonable light trigger. I just want it to be a little heavier
 
Trigger jobs on these guns are tricky and I would not recommend getting involved with that unless you really know what you are doing. The fact that you come to a forum with such a question, proves that you do not know enough to attempt such a job. The sear and hammer on your pistol are probably starting to wear on the edges if you find your pull too light and re-cutting or replacing them is probably what the gun needs. Screwing up such a job gives you and unreliable and possibly dangerous gun so that's why I don"t consider it a DIY job.

p.
 
I wasn't thinking you as the Bubba but perhaps a previous owner. I've seen folks do some pretty sketchy things to the insides of some guns.

Since you seemed to consider that I might be referring to yourself does this mean you are the original owner and you have never done any trigger work to the gun? So it's a stock trigger?

It might be worth stripping the frame from the receiver and looking at the hammer hook and sear hook with a strong magnifier. It may be that it's worn as Reddnobb suggests. That would explain an overly light trigger.

My original thought was that it was given an overly aggressive trigger job by a previous owner. Or if you can look at the similar parts on the Volquartsen website you may spot that a previous owner installed such aftermarket parts.
 
I did buy it used from a fellow Canadian gunnutter. I will have to go back in my pm ans see if I can find him.

I am highly mechanicly inclined provided I have some one to point me in the right direction. That is why I can here.
