BLR Trigger

Jim Rau
I just obtained a BLR LWT SS in 7-08 BUT the trigger is AWFUL.
Do any of you 'experts' have any experience or advice on how to 'work' a BLR trigger. Or any 'smith' who might be able to do this.
It is really bad!!![V]

    if my memory is right, i have helped the pull weight on one of these before. with the factory set up you dont have a lot of room. i do remember that once you take it apart, you have to get the timing set right on the bolt and lever. it's been awhile. hope this helps... 260

    I have no problem removing the bolts and getting the timing right when I put them back together. I have repaired several and removed the bolts to put them in the lathe to thread them for brakes. But I have never worked on their triggers before.

    Jim ... I disassembled a BLR and now it requires a small amount of pressure on the lever to fire.... Is this normal or where have I missed? Thanks ....

    The BLR is a rifle only QUALIFIED, repeat QUALIFIED gunsmiths should work on. Better yet, do as Browning suggests and send it back for needed work.
    Prior to retirement, I was the Chief Firearms Technician at Browning R&D. I devised special pins to aid in correctly reassembling the BLR.
    They are easy to take apart, but VERY difficult to put back together properly.
    The trigger problem you have is one that you can blame on blood sucking lawyers (or is that LIARS?) Gun manufacturers are forced to elevate safety standards to such a degree that hard triggers are the result.
    Just as ammo makers reduce most loads so that they will not pose a hazard in older firearms, gun makers are forced to design them so that most (not all) idiots won't shoot their friends when playing with their fireams. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
