Cheap and easy trigger enhancement

Karl, your assessment of the safety issue is correct. Without proper tension, the gun would only fire the one time the trigger is pulled.

Luke...My suggestion is to take a substantial ball point spring and cut off coils one at a time until the length is correct to allow function regardless of the trigger pull weight... then stretch the spring length with your fingers until the weight is close to what you are trying to achieve...

The neat thing about this modification is that no damage is done to the original parts, and if you screw up by cutting or stretching too much all you have lost is a ball-point spring...

Try it on one of your shooters where the trigger pull is just a little heavier than you wish it was... you won't be disappointed.
