m-carbo axis trigger

[jak67429]

Has anyone used the M-carbo axis trigger upgrade? Looking to upgrade the trigger in my granddaughters deer rifle. Don't need a 2 pound trigger but this thing has a 7-8 # pull now. First time I shot it thought the safety was stuck on.

The Mcarbo helped my axis nicely. Its about 3.5 lbs now. But is was not 7 lbs before. It was around 5-5.5. Did you check hers with a pull scale?

Yeah I have used it a couple of times both times it noticeably improved the trigger I didn’t use the shims though

Definitely worth the money.

I used a M-Carbo spring kit in a 243win Savage Axis. The gun had a lot of potential. The kit cleaned up the tigger in addition to making it a little lighter.
My 82 year old Dad used the rifle for last deer season instead of his 30-06. When we took the rifle to the range he shot a real tight group. He had a huge smile when he saw the group. He said, I didn't think that I could still shoot that well. By the way less than 1" with Remington 100gr CORE-LOKs.

Have you ordered the kit yet

M-Carbo kits are a good alternative to an expensive trigger, for both rifles and handguns.

Id personally call the kit very acceptable and worth the expense. If all your looking for is a pull weight reduction then it will get you there. Pair it with some judicious polishing, and they trigger can be made quite nice.

Ive bought some of there other stuff, and generally thats my feeling on what they sell. iIts not "great" but its good, and a good price. Add your own elbow grease and your really getting somewhere.....course with a decent small spring kit and some shims and screws, you can usually put together a similar "kit" for about 1/3-1/2 the cost.

I did use the shims, and recommend them as well as the spring kit. I also recommend the stock stiffening kit they sell for the axis if you keep the factory stock. Those easy modifications made a world of difference.

The kit is really simple and certainly works. You get a couple of very thin washers to shim the trigger, a stop screw, and a much lighter spring. I bought one from mcarbo and two similar kits from an eBay store when Walmart was clearancing axis rifles a few years ago. The results are very good.

I trimmed the trigger spring CAREFULLY on my Axis .223 Rem, worked great and was free.

I have a MCarbo spring kit in my Axis, great product that brought the trigger pull down to about 2.5 lbs. I also used the shims to get rid of the side-to-side play. I seem to remember it costing less than $30 shipped. A great bargain!

I have them on both of my Axis’s and they are fantastic. The only downside is when you have gloves on, be careful. Very easy to pull the trigger now while you’re trying to feel for it. I just use a bare finger.

I've both shortened the coils and used an m-carbo kit in two different Axis's. Either works, but the kit is a little crisper.

My new 270win axis trigger out of the box was ridiculous. The m-carbo spring kit is a major +
