Has anyone used the Timney replacement trigger for Marlin leverguns? https://timneytriggers.com/lever-action-trigger/ I wouldn't mind lightening up my 1895SBL's trigger a bit and I'm not used to the trigger flop either. |

Yes that's the one. I also put in the WW extractor, it's better than the pinned Marlin one, and the Delete safety from Turnbull guns. ETA also the WW steel follower, I dislike plastic in my guns. |

| I put the Timney in my 1894 Trapper this weekend. Midwest Gunworks had them discounted at Christmas. 1894 is only a couple months old as well. Pull weight from factory was 6lbs plus with an older spring gauge. Timney dropped straight in. Shade over three pounds with same gauge. It’s a keeper. Put a hundred rounds through it after install with no light strikes or other failure to fire. |

I just installed a Timney into my Ruger Marlin 1894 SBL this week. With the hammer spring included in the Timney kit, the pull weight measured around 4.0 lbs, which is a little heavier than I wanted. I was hoping for as close to 3.0 lbs as possible. However, with the factory hammer spring it’s right around 3.5 lb, and very crisp, which is good enough for this rifle. I’m not sure why Timney includes what seems to be an extra-power hammer spring. Either way, I’m happy with the feel, but it definitely wasn’t inexpensive. I haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet. Before this, I tried a Ranger Point Precision (RPP) trigger and sear. It reduced the pull weight way down to 1.5 to 2.0 lbs, which is too light for my preference. Plus, it still had a bit of creep to it. I will say though that RRP was very helpful in allowing me to return it for a refund. I would have tried a WWG but couldn’t find any in stock. |

Timney Trigger Yup I knew of Timney and I don't know if I trust myself to do #1, but figured if I posted I'd probably learn some other options to research which I have. |
