Gunsmithing question

[Varmint Hunter]

I have Jewell trigger (HVR model, I believe) in two of my heavy varmint rigs. The trigger came from the factory with the "A" spring installed which provides weight adjustments of 8oz to 56oz.

I would like to bring the trigger pull down to 6oz which would require the "B" spring to be installed. The trigger came with "A", "B" and "C" springs but there is no information on how to change the springs.

I'm assuming that the correct spring is located behind the pull force adjustment screw. I removed the screw and inverted the barreled action expecting the tiny spring to fall from the trigger. It didn't.

Before I create a problem; am I on the right track with this spring change?

You're on the right track.
Try tapping the side of the trigger to see if it will fall out.
All of the ones I've changed fell out with a little tap.
If not try using a paper clip with a slight kink on the end to pull it out.
Hope this helps.

Wayne,

Thanks for the info. I'll give it another try.
