Big boy trigger Job

[dmdeaton]

If Ranger Point Precision makes triggers that fit your Henry model, it's pretty simple to go with their parts. It's just a disassembly, remove the sear & spring, replace and reassemble. They have a video that'll help ya get through the process. I'm not "affiliated" with them; I just like "simple". I have the factory parts in a baggie, and can switch back if I ever felt the need to do that. I used their sears on both my steel (H009G) & my brass framed (H009BG) 30-30 rifles. Didn't use the springs. My Williams trigger pull scale breaks right around 3lbs. to 3 and a quarter lbs., with no discernible creep to my arthritic fingers. Trigger pull would probably go lower with their spring installed, and I'd use it if all I shot was paper. I hunt with these guns, and was quite happy with the "just over 3 lb. pulls" I netted with their parts.

Hope this helps. FWIW, I tried to get as good of a comparison measurement on on the "ledges" of the RPP and factory sears as I could possibly measure with what's left of my machinist tools. If I recall correctly, the RPP sear's engagement ledge was about .01" shorter than factory sear, polished better, and possibly had a little better geometry.

All this said, it'd probably be fairly easy to attack the factory sear with a file and a polishing stone and get a lighter trigger pull. But I felt for the price, the RPP was a good way to go (for myself). I've done trigger jobs on my own 1911 pistols, and my gunsmithing skill showed me that I needed to stick with being a machinist for a living. Got one trigger on my Kimber that came out around 2 lbs., and I was less accurate with it when shooting under the timer at my Action Pistol matches than I was with the 3 lb. trigger pull I got with my second attempt. I felt glad that Brownells had spare parts for 1911s, lemme tell ya.....

Added in EDIT: I went back and re-read some of the verbage at the RPP deal I linked to above. It seems like some Henrys vary quite a bit in the trigger pull ya get off the shelf when you purchase your gun, I guess. RPP states they can bring it down a few pounds with their parts. My rifles had ~5 lb. triggers when I got them, and the RPP sear alone got mine into the 3 to 3+ lb. range I mentioned above. As they say, "Your Mileage May Vary" if you have one with a fairly heavy pull from the factory, and may not come down to what mine did.

I am wondering if this trigger kit will fit a Original Henry?

I would give them a call next week and ask.
