    Need advice on adjusting Trigger on Uberti 1885 High Wall

    I need to have the trigger adjusted on my 1885 Uberti High Wall. Right now the pull is extremely light, so light it almost seems to fire by itself. I have loaned my gauge but it's coming back this morning and I'll check actual pull, but I still want it set to ~3#'s.

    Not sure of an actual adjustment, but there is a small coil spring under trigger. Have seen where Lee Shaver can recut your trigger parts for improved trigger, Along with this he sents a couple of springs to change pull weight GW

    Got the gauge back and tested the trigger pull weight; consistantly 1.5#.

    UPDATE So, I bit the bullet and bought a new trigger spring and a new hammer spring. Got them delivered today and within 10 minutes had the action working beautifully. Set the rifle in my Tipton Gun Vise and checked the trigger pull. Solid, without creep 5#. I like that.

    Reason I changed my springs is that as the rifle sat, the 1.5# pull was in "hair trigger" territory. Not good if new shooters are involved (grandson/great grandson). I'm sure I'll be getting her settled down to a 3 ~ 3.5# pull in the coming months.
