G-2 trigger....

I know it won't be as good as the old trigger but how good/low can it be gotten down to.  thanks Kirby

They can be just as good as the old one, unless you want a six ounce trigger.  I have four G2s with two pound crisp triggers.  They are as good as any trigger at that weight.  All I did was what I do with all new guns: I polish/deburr them and clean them up when I buy them.  No major changes.  All mine have the overtravel screw in the guards and I set them.  I have never tried to get them lighter than this, so I can't say.  The original frames I have are also set to the same level.  I am told that the original frames can be set lower if you want an extremely light trigger.

I've got 2 G2's that have been "tweeked" to around 2.5lbs, I did the work myself.  I just took a little tension out of the sear spring.  You can also purchase custom springs that will lighten the trigger, they're easy to install.

A bit trickier to do, but you can also purchase a heavier hammer spring that will crisp things up a bit and will reduce the chance of misfires, especially if you're using a hammer extension.

Also, some of the later G2's don't have the overtravel screw, but have the thicker rectangular block to install one.  I went to the hardware store and purchased a #6 tap, a matching drill bit and a few #6 Allen-head set screws.  Carefully drill and tap, install the screws with a little red Locktite.

I you purchase all of the stuff mentioned above and do the work yourself, you'll spend about $50.00.  If you just tweek the sear spring, it will cost you nothing!  Of course, none of the above modifications are "recommended" by Thompson Center or by the folks that own this forum, so proceed at your own discretion.
