Ruger SBH Trigger
« on: October 30, 2008, 11:33:46 AM »
Anyone know where I can find a step-by-step guide to taking the trigger assembly apart in order to polish everything and install a lighter spring?

thanks,
Randy

Randy-
Send a PM and I'll gladly walk you through it.  Removal and replacement is easy...you are on you own for polishing everything.

Pards-
To others who may want to know how to swap Ruger SA springs, I will initially refer you to another gentleman's page:
http://marauder.homestead.com/irons.html
This gentleman has kindly put a ton of good info on cowboy gun tuning on his site.  One reference will take you to www.Brownells.com where a really good blow by blow spring change takes place.
Also look at www.cylindersmith.com/ruger-spring.html for a much simplified method of changing out the mainspring which is the only tricky part.  I use a "fork technique" for compressing the spring.
I take no credit for this material.  It is readily available on the web and I thank these kind folks for sharing!
I will try to help if you get stuck!

the ruger manual has very good disassembly/reassembly instructions....you can do a good trigger job by just disassembling,study the trigger and transfer bar assembly to see how parts interact and polishing these parts...get a assortment of hammer springs and trigger springs,polish up the parts(i've done three guns and didn't touch the hammer/sear engagement)..try various spring combinations and you can get a nice 2 1/2-3# trigger.....don't be afraid to give it a shot
