Title: Re: Huber Krag Trigger Post by butlersrangers on Feb 15th, 2016 at 4:26pm
Original trigger parts are pretty common and cheap on ebay, if one wishes to experiment and improve a Krag's trigger pull.
I personally like a smooth two-stage military trigger and find comfort in the extra sear engagement. Some of my Krags have very crisp two-stage triggers and some have a degree of creep and roughness. I suspect a good part of any roughness is the fit and variability of original trigger springs. Dr. Walter Guy Hudson's (1903) book, "Modern Rifle Shooting from the American Standpoint", discussed eliminating roughness from the Krag trigger by carefully polishing sear contact surfaces with emery cloth. However, back in 1903, a lot of effort went into eliminating the 1st Stage of the two-stage trigger, which was called "Drag". (I would not do this, but, here is a technique that was used at the time to eliminate "Drag" and create a single-stage trigger). krag-trg_001.JPG ( 99 KB | 1
