What should a sprong replacement kit cost and what should be a reasonable price to have the springs replaced for a lighter trigger pull?

Thanks

  Springs have very little to do with trigger pull.
  Surfaces need to be polished properly to reduce pull. You can also remove the magazine safety.

  Well said. It could be a DIY project.

  Wolff Gunsprings at this link, would be the place to obtain replacement springs for your Browning.
  
  
  The only spring that likely will improve the trigger pull. Is the hammer/mainspring. The improvement will be minimal though. Just went that route with a CZ 75 clone.
  
  As the previous posters noted the improvement requires either a trigger job from a knowledgeable gun smith. Or a aftermarket "drop-in" trigger/hammer. That has had it's hammer/sear interface surfaces, honed and polished for minimun engagement.

  A kit should be $12.00 to $15.00. It should include the magazine disconnect spring, trigger return, FP spring & mainspring too. I suppose a lighter mainspring & trigger return spring will result in a lighter pull. But unless the mag disconnect pad is polished, sear and sear notch polished the pull will still be creepy.
  
  Replacing springs means removing & replacing the trigger. On the BHPs I've cleaned up I found it to be a PITA drifting out the pin. I'd make sure whomever was doing the work isn't one of those "get a bigger hammer" types but is instead very careful about nicking or marking up the gun.
  
  Taking the gun apart, reassembly and cost of the springs & no other work - I'd say $75.00 is fair.

  If you haven't done so, I've heard removing the magazine safety does improve the trigger in a Hi Power.

  If you are looking to replace the recoil spring I recommend you contact Browning.
  
  I bought a spring pack for 1 of my Hi Powers from Wolff. The recoil spring was way too long.
  
  See my post about replacing the trigger spring in your other thread.
