Does anybody know what can be done to clean up a B-78 trigger? Anyone making aftermarket units? Will the trigger adjuster offered by Brownells for the 1885 work for the older B-78? Thanks,
Greg

I suggest that you contact Brownells about if it will work.

If the B-78 trigger is the same one that is on the Browning BPCR 1885, there are two well considered fixes for it. One was invented by a guy that goes by Dale53. Dale can be found on msn.com's BPCR list. It is something that many people could do at home with a little bit of patience and a very few basic tools.

The other solution is done by Lee Shaver a well thought of gunsmith in Missouri. http://www.egunsmith.com/

He charges $25-$35 or so. I don't recall exactly. I have had many friends do this with their Browning BPCR's and the USRC .22 lowwalls.

I also would suggest contacting Lee Shaver for advise. I am certain that the B78 trigger is different than the 1885, as I have owned both. The B78 trigger should have 3 adjustment screws at the bottom of the action. Two are allen head and one has 2 tiny holes requiring a pronged type tool to turn. The 1885 trigger is less complex, but my B78 tuned up well.
At one time Canjar offered a B78 aftermarket trigger, but they had already been discontinued when I contacted them a few years ago.

My understanding is that the B-78 uses a 2 stage trigger, and different sear block system than the 1885, and the two are not interchangable.

mda and coeshunter, thanks for correcting me. Are the b-78 triggers generally good or lousy? I've been idly looking for one for my wife in .243. Either that or a low wall - still don't understand how a .243 can work in these modern low walls, modern steel or not, but it would suit my wife I think.

I've got 4 B-78's and love them. They are all stock and by far the most accurate of my ss rigles, 1885s and #1s. The trigger does take getting used to but once you realise it is a two stage, it does give one a great deal of control. The only issue I have with 78s is the high gloss plastic finish that was popular in the late 70s/early 80s.

MDA, thanks for the endorement of the B-78s.

Nothing here I can't fix with a saw, chisel and some finishing oil. Got plenty of trees out back

Thanks guys, you've been a big help. I was hoping someone would swap me one for my Kimber, but it looks like I'm going to have to save a few more pennies and buy one outright. Thanks again
