Bad triger on a 1875 Remmy

[Popa Kapoff]

Howdy
My trusty but not rusty Uberti 75 triger is way to light. It looks like the sear end round off and the trigger pull is less then 1lb. So my question is if I buy a replacement triger/sear from VTI is this a drop in or do I need a gunsmith.

maybe 2 of the 3 I have changed work just fine with no work, but the 3rd I had to do some fitting to make it work

I should have also said mine are the Uberti colt copys but the same should be true with your Remmie if they are Ubertis

I'm thinking of buy two for each gun and haven them harden and then plated. If it wasn't for that I thum the gun when I shoot I'd by a lot more

Often, the triggers come out of the factory without having the trigger sear cut to the correct angle.  Replacements may well be the same way.  If you aren't familiar with "trigger" and don't have a jig for cutting the sear, a trip to the gunsmith is in order.  I'd suggest having your current triggers corrected and save the bucks for new ones.

+1 to Coffinmaker.  HOWEVER, make sure the parts are hardened after you correct the sear angle or it wear out again very quickly.

Coffin where could one get such a jig the gunsmith around these parts suck for lack of a better word.

They do cost a lot. I made ones for the Remington and one for the colt guns. Any decent machinist should be able to do it for you if you know one and have the gun to go by. Measure the trigger and hammer pin and the distance apart. Turn the proper size pins on a small lathe and use a mill for the hole size and placement in a block.
