HI guys
I have noted in the Marlin 1894 lever-action rifles, that the triggers appear to be loose. Specifically, I was able to manipulate the trigger fore (forward) and aft (backward) a small amount, when the hammer is in the "cocked" position.
The question is how much play is normal, and at what point does movement become an indicator of a trigger defect?
Is there a difference between the trigger's feel and movement when the hammer is cocked, versus when the hammer is at rest position?
Any information will be appreciated
Thanks
