Anyone know of a Canadian supplier of Wolff springs and/or a competent gunsmith to do trigger job on Russian SKS? The trigger on mine is possibly the worst I have seen in nearly forty years of playing with thundersticks.
 
No need for the Wolf springs. Do the double cut meathod and watch it shine.
Also you will have more understanding about this rifle than most gunsmiths in Canada. As for Wolf spring you can order it directly from them.

My new to me sks has a trigger that really sucks too. What is the double cut method?
 
The youtube vids are great. A word of caution though. You can take off too much very easily. I got a bit cocky on my third trigger job and filed out too much too steep. Thankfully I could pick up a Chinese trigger group very cheaply and use the sear.
 
The sailorcurt five part videos on youtube, when you search "sks trigger", are great. As points pointed out, lol, put the sear in your vise and be conservative on the amount of steel you file out of the sear! Just file enough of a notch that it looks like it might make for positive engagement, and file, sand, test, and polish from there as per the instructions. Along with the Wolff springs, and a tiny bit of premium grease, you'll find the trigger on your SKS is safer and incredibly better than stock!
 
Thanks guys.

I posted another question here then realized I was hijacking so I started another thread. Apologies to the OP.

I second Satain's comments regarding the SKS trigger job. The videos available online are excellent, and all that is required is care and patience. It's much easier to take off a tiny bit at a time and test in between, then to take one big cut and try to make up the adjustment afterwards.
You'll be pleasantly surprised at how simple the actual work is, and how much better the result will feel. Good luck!
