LR9 Trigger job - who can do it?

#1 Post by Charlotte the flyer »

I was out on the range today with the LR9, whilst I really like the rifle the trigger has always been too heavy and notchy for me. The lower looks a little complicated with all of the lever release parts so I was wondering who, if anyone, makes a better trigger. Has anyone had one done, did it have to go back to SGC, was it expensive?

I seem to recall a shooting buddy of mine had his done and it had to go back to SGC as I think he struggled to find anyone else that would touch it.I know he had a problem with his bolt/LR mechanism and apparently you can't strip them as it all has to be fitted in a jig to put it all back together or something like that going by what he told me.

Thanks for the replies everybody, I think I'll take it to Southern Gun for them to fettle it.

I asked about when I had mine and it was the same answer, only SGC would be able to do it. I think the triggers are purposely kept heavy so that you don't inadvertently pull it while operating the thumb release and thus the hammer fall at the same time as the bolt resulting in a 'dead' action.

Some enterprising/brave LRA owner will have to take the plunge and do the work themselves!
