SKS Trigger job

I could try the hammer spring but I kinda gave up. Best I got was about 5 pounds, if I file it down more I get trigger engagement issues and I had to seat the sear block a bit further twice because I ran out of room.

I really wanted to try to get a nice 3.5 pound but there is a reason why my gesseille trigger cost more than my sks. I'l try to buy another russian trigger group and will see if I can get it further.

Beware of lightening the hammer spring as I found out. Installed a Wolf spring kit and it immediately wouldn’t light the hard military primers in surplus ammo so I put the original military spec spring back in and that problem solved. Lighter hammer spring I guess would be ok if reloading with commercial primers or using factory commercial ammo but if you still want to fire surplus then leave that spring alone. —-Dieseldog!
 
I never knew the difference between a 3.5lb pull and a 5lb pull on a 70 year old russian millitary rifle was such a huge deal. But i learn something new every day.

Was going to follow the aformentioned video and improve the horrible trigger on my unrefurbished. You still end up with a slack trigger which requires a pull through when the sights are right therefore little gain?

The easiest way to improve your trigger is just put a new sear from Murrays in there. It has some nice positive engagement and is nice and smooth.

An improvement is still an improvement regardless... i did a trigger job on my sks, it cost me a single penny, and a couple hours of my time. Ended up with a nice 3.5lb break instead of the gritty 7+ lbs it was before... also gave me the chance to learn how the fire control group works on a SKS, the importance of sear / hammer engagement for all gun triggers and how it effects a guns safety.

Beats sitting on a couch watching yellow journalism.
