I don’t want to be asking too much but if someone has a trigger gauge they’d loan to me (I’ll cover all postage) could you please PM me.
I’ve installed new trigger springs and while it seems fine I’d like to test it properly.
So far passes all tests but have no idea if it’s too light or not.

If it feels right and doesn’t slam fire if you try getting rough with the bolt then the actual weight of pull doesn’t really matter much

That’s what I’m thinking. My very basic attempt at measuring it suggested it was it very light but it didn’t feel that light or slam fire under any “finger” circumstances.
Passed all three position safety and misuse tests I could try.
Just being paranoid that I haven’t gone too far.
PS. Looked at some primer prices today. Wow have they gone up if they are available. Wonder if I could scalp those I have and retire early

i lightened up the trigger on the howa and everything was good.
i took it to the range to shoot,i didnt get the first string out and had to retire.
problem was,as it got hot,the trigger got lighter.until it went off closing the bolt.
wasnt good.
a trigger gauge is a good piece of kit to have,even if you only use it very occasionally.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be extra careful next time it’s at the range.
I’ve looked at some gauges but many look overly simplistic or overpriced (for my expected use).
