| Canjar makes a replacement and I think Timmney has just released one. Adjustment is accomplished by a reduction in spring tension and stoneing and dereaseing the friction on all working parts. My advice is that unless you know and understand trigger geometry- buy a replacement. www.duanesguns.com |

| Scroll back to 6/18/04; there was a thread on 788 triggers, with several comments/suggestions. |

| JJP, I have a file detailing the changes to make a 788 trigger adjustable, if you want a copy just email me or pm me with your email address and I'll send it along. I've done this to a couple of my 788 triggers (I have 5 of them, rifles I mean) and it works out pretty well as long as you're careful. Certainly hard to beat the price. - Dan |

| I have a copy of an old Rifle magazine that details the modifications to make the original 788 triggers adjustable. If you send me an email, I will see if I can track it down.

| I seem to recall the Rifle magazine article being applicable to only early model 788 triggers (first4-5 yrs); later models had a reconfigured safety that interfered with the mod as described. With article in hand, you will quickly know if you can proceed. |
