Musgrave RSA Action TR

[Beniah]

G'Day Folks,

I use a Musgrave RSA 1982 vintage, according to the serial. I'd suggest that it's not seen too much work in its life.

While I know no better, other club members with deeper experience tell me my trigger pull is way too high. After a bit of fiddling around, it's some down to around 2.5 pounds (1.13 kg). I have to say 'about' because there's a variation of +/- .2 lb (90g) in a series of five tests.

Some questions for those with pretty good Musgrave knowledge:

[list=]
Is there a known alternate commercially available trigger group, which can easily be swapped over with the existing factory trigger?
What is the usual trigger pull range that the RSA should achieve?
Are there replacement springs that are commonly available for other makes that suit the standard factory trigger?
Are there any particular known 'tricks' to getting a RSA trigger to work smoothly and lightly?
[/list]

Might be a bit of a tall order asking details about a now obsolete action, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks for any guidance you might be able to offer.

Davies once made a trigger but they might be difficult to find now.

I saw a Barnard trigger fitted to a Musgrave action last week, absolutely fantastic.

Your gunsmith would need to mill the existing mounting off, lower the mounting face on the action and drill and tap for the Barnard mounting screw.

I realize that light triggers are the magic bullet these days,however excellent shooting was done for years with 1.5 kg trigger pulls.

If you can stand to be without it for a while, I’d talk nicely to the master above , I’m sure you would be happy after that

Beniah have you tried Trentech? He is also about the same distance from Belmont range as you, he does excellent work and I am sure you wont be waiting 6 months for a job like that.
