StefanHi!
I’m reasonably familiar with the Husqvarna actions (I’m born and raised in Swden) and have done work on mostly thenolder models. We have different model names on them here though… Give me a picture or a description of the action and I may be able to shed some light on this.

SydneyHi if you google Husquarna Mod 8000 images you will
get some very good pictures--this model has a adjustment screw but at best 3 1/2 to 4 lbs
Thanks for the reply

BobsterYes. Remove the bolt and you will see the slotted head of a screw in the rear tang. Turn counterclockwise to reduce pull.

StefanOk, then it’s whats called 1900 here in Sweden!
Great action with a hard to beat smoothness in operation! The trigger is a one off and there’s no replacement from Timney etc… As mentined the weight can be lightened by turning the small screw but to get a really good trigger the spring needs to be replaced. Most triggers will improve from honing the surfaces since the engagement of the sear isn’t adjustable. But this is a thing for a experienced smith, there’s no turning back if you get it wrong and replacement triggers is hard to come by!
A thing most tinkers can do, if you feel confident tearing the trigger apart, is to put a small dab of high grade moly grease on the engagement surfaces in the trigger. This will make things a lot more enjoyable.
I can take som pictures and put in some instructions on how to get the trigger apart if you decide to get in to this in depth.

Stefan PinThis is the pin that holds the trigger.
Grease pointPut a small amunt of moly grease here.
WireThis wire holds the spring for the trigger pull in place. It doubles as a spring for the safety catch as well.
Wire/spring removal. Wire location. Make sure that the wire goes back in between the nut and the screw as pointed out!
