My FA needs a trigger job.

[DanWalker]

Supremely accurate gun, but a pain in the butt to shoot. Has a heavy trigger I'd like to get lightened. Who would you all suggest? I know FA will do it, but only to 3lbs. I'm looking for a crisp 2lb pull. The trigger in my blackhawk that Mr Munden tuned for me a few years ago, makes the FA trigger feel like a bad joke...

[Lloyd Smale]

hard to find a gunsmith that will go much below 3lbs.

FA did mine, and in addition to setting the pull weight at three pounds, they put in a trigger stop. I believe the stop is a big help. Another point in their favor is, I believe they will get it back to you fairly quickly. Some custom gunsmiths are taking many months.

I worked on a LOT of Freedoms and found the metal work is superb, just needed a lighter trigger spring. True that Freedom is expensive, last I heard it was near $100 for a trigger job. Don't quote me though.
I actually wound some springs and have been asked to make some but I just have no pattern here. Been trying to get a gun to copy a few.
I would not let anyone touch the sear surfaces. Just a spring. It is a complicated wind and would be nice if they could be bought. Not more then a few bucks.

All you need to do is a partial dissasembly of the grip housing and bend the trigger spring a little . ive done all 3 of my 83s that way .
IMO 3 lb trigger thats crisp is light enough for most uses and id would only go to 2 lb if i was useing it for Silhouette matches only.

Bob is correct. I sent mine out to have it done, but the 'smith told me the same thing, that the sears were nicely cut and polished, you just tweaked the trigger spring. I had mine on my 4-3/4" .475 set to 2.0#, and it made a huge difference in the shootability. No way I'd pay Freedom $100 to have it only knocked to 3#. The fellow I used was J.D. Henry in California, and he would set the weight to anything you wanted.

I have a 6" FA 454 with FA action job and trigger stop. It's like breaking a glass rod. Moves maybe 1/16" or less before it hits the stop.

Worth every penny. When I send in my 10" to FA for some custom work, trigger job will be #1 on my list.

[44man]

Yes, Bob is correct, you can just bend the spring.

[DanWalker]

Took grip panels off. All I saw was the mainspring. I'm guessing further disassembly is required...

[bobthenailer]

yes .you have to remove the grip housing assy from the frame.
