Marlin Camp 9 - trigger job recommendations

[gunsrfun1]

My Camp 9 is dead-on accurate, but the trigger is heavier than I'd like. I've done a web search, but can't really find any type of "drop-in" parts that reliably lighten the trigger.
M-Carbo makes a spring kit, but the two reviews on their site are less than steller. And I've had experience with their Marlin 60 spring kit; wasn't that impressed with the result. So I am wary.
I'm not looking for a backyard-mechanic solution like cutting the springs, and I don't want to polish or grind any parts.
So ... does anyone make a reliable trigger-pull reduction kit for this gun, or am I basically stuck with the factory trigger?
Thanks

You'd probably have to take it to a gunsmith for an actual trigger-job. The gun has been out of production for 20 years now - specifically the period where internet sales and heavy aftermarket support for firearms became a thing.

That said - for the price of a smith working on it you're likely half-way to the cost of a Ruger PC9.

Thanks Morden, and I agree, not worth the money (or the risk) of letting a smith work on it.
I might try the Mcarbo spring kit for $20, although as I said, I've had mixed results with their spring kits.
I thought of a PC9, but based on the reviews I've read, my Camp is more accurate. (Am I wrong?)

Your Camp would have to be VERY accurate to beat my Ruger. With the right loads it's a one hole carbine at 25 yards. I have a red dot on it so it's kind of hard to judge at 50.

One of these days I'm going to put a scope on it and see just how accurate it is at 50 yards.

I owned both the Camp-9 and the Camp-45 at one time and another. They were both pretty accurate, but the heavy, squishy trigger was a common complaint from all owners of them.

Overall no real complaints. I eventually sold them both at different times to pay for other things.

I just ordered extra parts for mine and modified them, so even if I messed them up, I could go back to stock.

I just worked on the factory mating surfaces and drilled and tapped the trigger for an over travel screw. Shot it like that for many years and decided I wanted to be different and play PCC games with it and made a larger mag release and modified the safety so my finger could be on it but outside the trigger guard, per allowed starting position.

When I get more time to play, I’ll finish the Glock mag conversion on one of my spare trigger guards.




You can get a spare hammer and sear for under $25, trigger guards under $20.

Nothing else it’s good to get parts for obsolete firearms when you can vs down the road and need them but can’t.
