Have any of you worked on the trigger for your Marlin model 880 or similar rifle ? I had the rifle apart yet again after range time the other day and looked at it real well . I even took out the trigger pivot screw and removed the trigger from position . I Looked the part over real well for burrs and very lightly removed those along the side of the trigger and it's holder . After lubing and putting it all together again it still works and doesn't "feel" any different .
What I do see in this particular trigger is that it has a lot of engagement so when one is sighting on a target it seems like the sear takes forever to release . I'm thinking if I can find extremely thin shim stock I could stop some of the engagement and not change the factory setting to much .
A long time ago I was able to clean up the trigger on a Marlin model 25M but that trigger seemed a little more simple than this one . Maybe it just age creeping up on me though and it's the same thing . Anyway , your input on this would be a great help so thanks in advance .
