I bought a Savage A22 with an Accutrigger. Being impossible to satisfy, I bought a lighter trigger spring from Gun Shack and installed it. Now I can make the pull so low it feels dangerous. I have to increase it a little to get it where I want it. I love it.
I bought a second spring for my 93R in .17 HMR. I didn't know the springs on these rifles were different. I put a Gun Shack spring in it, and it pretty much collapsed. It's too weak.
I have three choices.
1. Cut a coil off the original 93R trigger spring. I saw someone on the web say this wasn't a good move. Something about the gun needing the whole length of the spring to work correctly. I doubt this, because the Accutrigger works by reducing or increasing the length of the part of the spring you use, depending on what kind of pull you want. I'm a little reluctant to cut the spring, because I haven't been able to find a source for a new one, and I don't want to have to pay a gunsmith a hundred bucks to do something I can do in 3 minutes.
2. Reduce the thickness of the part the spring rides on, lowering the tension in the spring. Some guy on Youtube says he thinned his by about 0.070", and it made all the difference. If I do this, though, I'll be screwing with a more expensive part than a spring.
3. Stick my A22 spring in the gun, after cutting it so it will fit. I think it will reduce the pull without collapsing. If I do this, though, I'm committing permanently to the Gun Shack spring in the A22, and for all I know, it will develop a problem next month.
Can anyone who knows the 93R well give me advice?
