I just received a Remington trap/competition spring for my 870, trigger pull went up a pound!  Guess I'll learn to live with a crummy trigger.

I ordered the one from www.erniethegunsmith.com and have been happy with it.

Cut a coil or one and a half.  Start with just one. Work the trigger some.  They will lighten up a little with use.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it.
