A lot better than factory
Nice trigger easy to install. Wish it was a little lighter on the pull (3lbs)

Easy drop in fit, solid improvement
Replaced the trigger in my Marlin 1895 guide gun. Pull dropped from 6 lbs to 3.5 lbs, crisp and no creep. Easy to install.

It did help, but it did not get the 3lb
The trigger is easy to install. There is plenty of help on the internet. It was advertized to be a 3lb trigger. In my case the Marlin 336 was new and the trigger pull was off the gauge. After installing this trigger the pull was about 6 1/4 lbs. This does not sound very good but it did make a huge difference from what it was originally. I would recommend this trigger to lighten a very heavy one. It is well built and it dropped right in with no fitting. Just do not expect a target trigger.

Not too impressed
Read all the great reviews and decided to drop this in my 1895 Guide Gun. Installation was easy enough, and it does completey eliminate the "Marlin Flop" I am however, disappointed in the final triger pull. Before the install, my lyman gauge measured the pull at 4lbs 10 oz. After, I was at 5 lbs 8 oz, almost a full pound heavier.I understand a trigger job will get this lower, but I shouldnt have to spend $80 in gunsmithing to make an [$] trigger work.

DID NOT WORK IN 1954 336RC 35 REM
Purchased because product was alleged for use on "ALL CENTER-FIRE MARLINS". Many reviews mention drop in fit which made it more appealing. The Marlin I was upgrading was my Grandfathers 1954 336RC in 35 Remington. The trigger pivot hole would not line up with the pin hole. When the trigger was close to position it had defeated the trigger safety block. I was uncertain how a gunsmith would overcome the significant alignment and address the trigger safety block issues. This will be the first return I've made to Brownells in 30 years.

Not So Happy Trigger
Did not fit my Marlin 336 1955 year model 35 rem The amount of fitting required would excessive to get any kind of fit. Bought it because of all the good reviews, maybe it just fits newer Marlins??
