BLR Trigger Job

by chrisran99 on Tue Aug 09, 2011 3:46 pm

I was wondering if anyone may know a smith that would tackle a trigger job on a Browning Lever Action? I really don't want to have to send my gun to Neil Jones in Pa. for a trigger job.

I don't know of one off the top of my head, but it wouldn't hurt to ask one of your local smiths. The design of that trigger will probably keep you from being able to get that 2oz target rifle trigger and still maintain a bit of safety due to the fact the trigger is a 2 part affair, for lack of a better word. But a simple sear spring replacement will make it a lot better and still maintain some safety with all those moving parts.

I have worked on a few Browning A-Bolt triggers and found that replacing the sear spring only resulted in so much improvement that everyone was glad to leave it at that. It is a simple job that anyone should be able to do. It literally takes 5 minutes to do it.

Check with Billy Tierce off jack rd in utica......... in the phone book under Bill's Gun Shop, if it can be done he can do it.... what caliber is your blr if you do not mind me asking..... i have one in a 243, belgium made and a 358 win that is jap made, both are the older steel receiver guns with the protruding clip..... i am taking delivery of a belgium made 308 win in a blr tommorrow.......... they are great guns..........

I have the newer pistol grip .308 and an older steel receiver 81 .308. I love the guns just dont care for the trigger. The older gun's trigger is not that bad, but the newer is about 6.5 to 7 lbs. Which makes longer shots difficult with the light barrel. But if I find a smith that can work on it I am liking the new takedown in .223.
