Title: 870 20ga trigger job
Post by: mason3toes on January 21, 2015, 10:39:31 PM
Is a trigger job worth the reward and is this something a smith would need to do or could an aftermarket be purchased.

I believe a good trigger job is worth having done.
I did mine myself, it's a fairly easy job.

I use a gunsmith in Kansas who has built rifles for me. His main jobs are building release triggers for competition trap shooters so he knows his way around a trigger system.  Nice thing about most shotgun triggers is all you need to ship is the trigger group/assembly. I spoke to him recently and he would like to do more turkey guns.  If anyone is interested just pm me and I will get you his contact info.

Just buy the Timney kit. It's an easy install and is MUCH better than the factory trigger.

patriot sear spring for $10.No gunsmith needed easy install. It really made a noticeable difference on my 870.
