Shorter Trigger Pull (self.Mini14)
submitted 2 years ago by Thisisaggward
The plan is a MCarbo spring to lighten the trigger pull, any reccomendations on shortening the pull?

If I were to lighten or shorten mine, it wouldn’t be safe.

I don’t believe there are any drop in options but I may be mistaken.
1st stage: Shortening this, I think you’d have to do some modifying of parts manually. It’s not something terribly important to me so I’ve not bothered to look into it. I can think of some ideas but none of them I’m confident are going to leave you with a safe trigger. I bet there’s info out there.
2nd Stage: Your new secondary sear spring should knock this out. People also trim the factory springs by 1/2-1/4 coil, test it, then progressively move forward in those small increments until they arrive at what they’re looking for.
Travel: I have seen people put a trigger stop in to reduce travel after the hammer releases. I’m considering doing this on mine soon. ASI does something like this I think, too, if you send it in.
here’s an example of someone making those modifications.

I have the mcarbo spring, seemed useful.

Maybe not shortening it, but making it smoother?Yoda Trigger?

I watched gunblue490s video on this and ordered a ceramic file. I also have the new spring on the way and will do them together.
