trigger job
Hello guys
I have a Remington 541tHB and was wandering how a person could reduce the pull on the trigger. It does have a travle adjustment on it but I am wanting to make it softer.

Thanks

Go to your local garage & get an assortment of tire valve stem springs. Trial & error will tell you which one to use.

If you're not comfortable with doing this, I highly recommend taking it to a good gunsmith!

If the 541 is important to you, I would strongly suggest you pay a competent 'smith to do it right.

If you want to "do it yourself", experiment first with less important guns (your neighbor's?). Eventually you'll get the hang of it.

I see that you are from Ohio. Anywhere near Cleveland? Look up Claude Gatewood, great 'smith up that way.

www.claudegatewood.com

He's done some 10/22 & 77/22 triggers for me that are great. You should be able to contact him thru his website, or try calling him at 440-230-GUNS.

Gary, anything for a friend!

mhbrumfield, finding a good 'smith ain't easy. Best bet is to spend some time at the range (including trap & skeet) an just talk to people. Avid shooters always get trigger jobs. You should soon come up with a consensus of opinion.
