Featherman Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Can someone please detail what is required to "improve" the trigger on my new Legacy... ? Thanks in advance; I'm looking for a crisper yet lighter pull. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timb99 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Sending it to someone who specializes in trigger work. Unless you KNOW what you're doing, trigger work is best left to someone else. But if you do have it worked on, I suspect your Benelli warranty is void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Featherman Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Warranty is not an issue, however, sending the trigger group to someone is an option. Any suggestions? Albeit I can't imagine that there is too much effort or specialized knowledge required to improve trigger pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Albeit I can't imagine that there is too much effort or specialized knowledge required to improve trigger pull. Yet here you are, asking. Briley's could certainly handle the job. As could most local skilled smiths in your area. Ron Kontowsky has a good reputation for shotgun work.

timb99 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Featherman Trigger are a finesse thing. They're tricky. If you do it wrong with a semi-auto, you can get a gun that slam-fires or you turn it into a full auto, neither of which is desirable. If this is a gun to be used in the field, you want to make sure your trigger pull is crisp, but not too light. I have the trigger pull on my target guns set at 3.5 to 3.75 lbs, but I wouldn't want a field gun any less than say 4.5 or 5 lbs. There are many good gunsmiths around who do this kind of work, but it is best to call around and find someone who specializes in Benellis. As Tucker mentioned, Briley does good work, but sometimes they take a long time to get stuff back to you. Doug Braker in Minnesota is top notch. dougsgunsmithshop.com A guy named Dave Munden did an 1100 trigger for my daughter's trap gun, but I don't know if he does Benelli guns: [email protected] Spears Gun Shop in Kansas Allen Timney timneytriggers.com There are others. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
