Great trigger!

Installed this trigger in my 308 Mxlr. Factory trigger on my gun was very stiff and this has lightened it up significantly. Was able to install without much issue, just followed a tutorial. Very pleased and would purchase again in an instant.

Yow what a difference!

Recently bought an 1894 in .44 magnum. The factory trigger challenged any hope for accuracy at around 8#. Did some research, apparently got the last Trigger Happy kit available here (in nickel, though my rifle is blued-- looks pretty good!) Installed it myself courtesy of some good instructions I found on the internat, and also added a Wolff hammer spring. Now I have a 2.5# trigger and the gun is a different animal! Highly recommended.

Excellent product, superb result

I installed the Happy Trigger in my JM-marked Marlin .45-70 Guide Gun last night in under an hour. The only reason it took that long is that I also polished up a few other bearing surfaces in the action. No instructions were included, but high quality instructions are easily found online. The original trigger had a slightly rough pull that measured at 3lbs, so it was quite acceptable to begin with. After replacement, it measured out at 2-1/8th lbs with extremely little variation from one pull to the next, and is exceptionally crisp. You've heard the phrase "Breaking a glass rod" before? It's a perfect description for the end result which is completely free of creep, grittiness or drag of any sort. Note that I did not have to polish the sear engagement surface on the hammer at all as it was fairly well machined and was without any burrs or roughness. The sear on the original trigger was however very rough and uneven. It was machined more heavily on one side than the other, and was not engaging un a uniform manner with the sear engagement surface on the hammer. The Happy Trigger sear is laser straight and machined without any roughness whatsoever. As it should be! Money well spent indeed. Regards

Shockingly good upgrade

The price felt a bit steep when I first received the internationally shipped package, but after install I was truly amazed. The trigger on my 336 was very stiff, and I expected this to help a little. But it must have removed what felt like half the amount of force required to pull the trigger, and changed my rifle completely. It might just be a small part for $90 but I was indeed worth it!

WILD WEST GUNS HAPPY TRIGGER KIT

VERY WELL MADE TRIGGER FITTED RIGHT IN SO SIMPLE AND WHAT A BIG DIFFERENCE IT MADE TO MY MARLIN 336 SS THANKS WILD WEST GUNS AND BROWNELLS FOR AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT

Very hard

This product is very hard. It removed all the flop from my action. I am a very trigger happy person now.

Excellent Results

Used this trigger along with a spring kit (Brownels) to get a crisp, cosistant, clean breaking 2 1/2lb (measured with digital trigger pull gauge)trigger pull- and no trigger flop. Instalation took about 30 minutes with no filing, fitting, or fideling arount. Accompanying instruction are clear enough, but really not needed as the installation is straight forward - take out the factory trigger, put in the new. Owner has been using firearm in cowboy action shooting and really couldn't believe the difference in before and after.

Great Product

I have installed this kit on a 336C 30-30 and on an 1895 SBL 45-70. One blue and the other stainless. Both were easy to install and remove the trigger flop as well as any creep in the trigger. Both of my trigger pull weights came down at least 1 lb per gun. Trigger pull on my 1895 is now a clean 3lbs and my 336C is a clean 3.5 lbs. Note: You are changing trigger parts so make sure you test for safety after you install. If you don't know much about triggers this might not be for you.

GREAT

put this in my 1895, 45-70 and got a night and day diffrence in the trigger....this is a must have for the heavy trigger pulls on most marlins...do it yourself installation....

Trigger Happy is a happy trigger

I don't know why this isn't Marlin's stock trigger. It takes all the slop out of the trigger, which the stock trigger is known for. You now have a crisp trigger which makes the gun more accurate. The quality of the trigger is a big selling point for many guns. With this trigger in your gun, you will be much happier with it. How does it work? The edge that engages the sear is narrower, so the trigger doesn't move except to fire the gun. Simple, and it works.
