I have an almost new (last year's) Marlin 1894CP carbine, and while I like this little carbine in general very much, I really wish the trigger pull wasn't so heavy...
So last weekend, when I happened to visit a gunshop that had a gunsmith on premises, I asked the guy about the trigger job on the Marlin. He refused to do it and explained that the trigger mechanism parts on Marlins are made of soft but case hardened steel, so if the hard surface is removed to lighten the trigger pull, the soft steel exposed will wear down with use very quickly (with obvious bad consequences).
Is this true, and I have to just live with the factory trigger pull?
Thank you.
