Has anybody attempted to work over the trigger on this old lever rifle? Or does anybody have any advice other than getting rid of it.

Thanks, James

I have been told it is not a wise do-it-yourself project. Find a 'smith who has done it more than once and preferably one who specializes in the 99.

go ask on the Savage Collectors forum at 24hourcampfire.com. That is where the 99 experts lurk in hiding.
