good price and pull weight, but hate having too replace the hammer! easy to do, but i've done well by replacing the springs, cups and trigger only with about the same amount of money. springs are low-cost way to improve/reduce pull weight, but getting rid id the ole "marlin flop" is nice! don't own a henry or a rossi in 45-70 or any henry for that matter. maybe someone with more insight that uses lever guns more often than i will post

After reading this , I decided to get my 1970 model 336 out and check the pull weight on it. 5 pull average was 3 LB 6 OZ . I don't think I will be spending the money . The new models must be really crappy in the trigger department.

i don't have any levers that old. the r92 pull weight is around 5.5# and the 2 1895's from factory were about the same. the sbl got an upgraded trigger/spring/cups from various places and now is sub 3# or less (haven't checked it lately). kept the 26" cb model all factory.

@youngolddude probably shoots levers a lot, but not sure which models, brands or cartridges he has in them?

The wife and I owned 1894 carbines in .38/.357 years ago. They developed issues over time and we eventually sold them. Cowboy action shooting involves thousands of rounds at speeds not imagined in the old days. One year's worth of shooting would be more than what a typical cowboy would shoot in a lifetime. Most shooters have gone to 1873 models. The wife went to an AWA Lightning in .38 Special back in 2002. Those are complicated guns with parts that interact with others that will wear with time. She has sent hers to a well known gunsmith that is qualified to work on them as it needs adjustment. It currently has developed problems and she has adopted (taken over) my Pedersoli Lightning in .45 Colt. It was sent to the same gunsmith who modified it to slam fire (hold trigger down and pump gun). It is working very nicely. I would also point out that these guns are sensitive to AOL. The .38 likes 1.50 and the .45 prefers 1.60 which means you do not use the crimp groove. Another example may prefer something else. They also like being cleaned more often that other guns.
I went to an 1873 short rifle in .38/.357 and have had it for close to 20 years. I installed a short stroke kit and I've replaced one extractor and one bolt in that time. I also acquired a Rossi 92 in .45 that will swallow empty brass and bullets from 160-220 gr. I've not tried heavier, but see no reason why not. I recently acquired a Yellowboy in .45 and have used it a few times, but not thoroughly tested multiple rounds in it.
All of our cowboy guns have shot lead ammo from half a dozen or more vendors and of various weights. A lot is based on availability and price.
Our Marlins used a one piece extractor and a solid firing pin. They can be very fast and a guy has modified them into what he calls a Widdermatic. Videos of shooters of these show a river of brass emitting from the gun that is something to see. There are also countless articles and bits regarding the infamous Marlin Jam and how to overcome those. The carbines feel small after using an 1873 although women like the size and weight of them.

Hmm. I have the 1895 in 45-70, but never considered a trigger job.

Got me thinking now......

The sbl trigger I replaced with a ranger point precision only got rid of the trigger flop. Changing springs and cups reduced pull. The shoe is a little wider than og. The price was good as for reason of posting. I keep all parts that get changed and saved, tagged and stored to hopefully not lose them? I removed the adjustable rear sight on an XDM. The pin that holds it on (10mm) is shorter than the 40s/w model of the same (both are 5.25"). Not sure what that deal is? A buyer wants the og site, but I need the correct part before that happens. I would use the 40, but my son likes it too much. He called "claim" (TWD reference) on it.
