If you know of the easiest way or a good way to lighten the trigger pull on this 1873 please pm me or just post here. I've done a lot of triggers on savage rifles and ruger semi auto pistols and 10/22. If I'm understanding correctly the springs in this rifle are flat and heavy tensioned. Reminds me of muzzeliading rifle triggers.

They make an adjustable coil spring, my 66 has one in it. for the 73 along with lighter flat springs. I have taken some of the metal off of the main spring which will lighten them. BUT if you take off to much they will break or have misfires. I don't remember who sells them but you can do a search to find the supplier I think I used my belt sander to reshape the spring.
