Trigger slop

Post by gbeecher65 »

Just replaced the broken sear spring in my Mosin with one from Liberty Tree Collectors. When cocked, the trigger has a bit more slop than my old spring(?) Is this normal? I gave it the bump test on the floor (wood floors) and it was ok. Cycled it 5 or 6 time and if fires normally. Any thoughts? :?

I've put "slack springs" on all of my Mosins. All it does is keeps the trigger from flopping around. I'm not sure if this is your issue or not.

I got them from C & R Surplus Spring.

I'd post a link but I'm not sure if it is allowed or not?

Trigger slop is normal on the Mosin.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C. S. Lewis
