Trigger Jobs

A major contributor to unsatisfactory group size and inaccuracy in general is a poor trigger with a heavy pull weight and a lot of creep. If you are ready for a better feeling trigger with a lighter pull I can help. Since there isn't a replacement trigger available we have to make due with what the factory supplies. I eliminate 80-90% of the actual overall "creep" and there won't be any felt creep remaining. The trigger feels nice and crisp and set to within + or - 1/4 lb of your chosen pull weight.   Turn around time is running approximately 2 weeks.

Pull weights available are 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5 lbs

Sc trigger jobs are accomplished by squaring up the top of the sear notch on a surface grinder, hand honing the face of the sear notch to the proper angle and a giving it a smooth even finish where contact is made with the hammer. Honing and smoothing other moving parts as needed and replacing the factory trigger spring with a custom Sc spring to achieve the desired pull weight.  Lastly I adjust the trigger over travel screw.

Some things to consider when choosing a pull weight. Once the trigger job is done it is not adjustable without changing out the sear and trigger spring. A very light 1.5 lb, or 2 lb trigger is great for target shooting and varmit hunting in warm weather. For safety reasons, a 1.5 lb trigger would be too light, in my opinion, for cold weather big game hunting where your fingers may become cold or you may wear a glove. It isn't a pleasant experience to have your firearm discharge before you even realize you've touched the trigger! I would recommend a minimum of around a 3 lb pull weight in those conditions. The optimal situation would be that you have more than one frame. You can then dedicate one to target/varmit shooting and another to big game hunting with the appropriate trigger pull weights for each. If you have only one frame the pull weight decision is somewhat of a compromise depending on what kind of shooting/hunting you do most of the time.

Shipping Insturctions:  Send just the "bare" frame, no hinge pin, stock or grip.  I recommend either Priority US Mail or UPS for shipping.  If you ship Priority Mail be sure to use my PO Box number.  If you ship UPS use my physical address.  Include a note with the frame indicating the trigger pull weight you would like along with your contact information.  If you prefer to send a personal check for the job with the frame that will be fine.  If you prefer to use a CC for payment please include the CC #, exp date, 3-digit security code from the back side and the billing address for the card on your note.  Normally $12.00 will cover return shipping so the total cost would be $72.00.

HINT:  Don't offer any information to the post office or UPS as to exactly what is in the package.  If asked simply state that it is "machined parts".  It isn't a complete firearm, just a piece of it.  Also, if you already own the frame there is no need to involve and FFL dealer.  You can ship it directly to me and I'll ship it directly back to you.

Note - According to the written warranty that comes from Thompson with your frame(s), any alterations done to said frames will void the warranty. A trigger job is considered be an alteration. What the warranty says and what Thompson actually has done in the past are not necessarily the same however. If for some reason you find it necessary to return your frame to Thompson for warranty work, my experience has been that Thompson will perform whatever warranty repairs are needed irregardless of the trigger job. BUT they will remove the altered sear & custom trigger spring and replace them with a new factory sear and spring before sending it back to you. I have never had a frame in need of warranty work refused due to a trigger job being done on it.
