Title: Krag trigger - old target trick Post by butlersrangers on Apr 5th, 2012 at 5:04pm
This is not something I recommend. I like 'clean' two-stage military triggers, like the Krag's, '03 Springfield's, and M1 Garand's, especially at the range. It is nice to have the safety of a deep sear engagement, take up the initial slack, and have the trigger "break" cleanly at 3 to 4 pounds. However, "back in the day", when two-stage triggers were new, riflemen did not like the long "Drag" ('The distance through which it is necessary to pull the trigger before the gun will be discharged') of the Krag. Competetive Shooters were use to the trigger pulls of the Trapdoor Springfield and commercial target rifles. Walter Guy Hudson pictured this home-made device, trapped under the Krag trigger guard, to eliminate the 1st stage of the trigger pull. I've never seen one in person but I am sure someone will/has encountered one.
