Roskoe, I don't have a very reliable trigger gauge but the gauge I have indicates 2.2 to 2.4 lbs on several consecutive pulls. By my calibrated finger measure -I think closer to a full 3 lbs. And I just grabbed two pair of needle nose and went after it. Got exciting when the larger spring flew out of the pliersand hit me in the chest once. I considered using heat but didn't know if I would be able to control that well enough. The bend was made in a non-critical part of the spring so even if it broke as I did the bending it would have still been functional. The picture I posted is not a real pic of the final result, I just doctored that original to show where I made the bends. It is a close representation of the bend around the hammer, but exaggerates the bend I made on the return spring.

The return spring bend is the one I would do differently if I had another. It does just what I intended but you've probably noticed that both legs of that spring fit into a cutout on the side of the hammer. The bend I made relieves most of the pressure exerted against the lower part of that cut on thehammer when it is uncocked - the result of that is the hammer is a bit "floppy" in the forward direction but it isn't serious at all. I much prefer that to the terrible trigger I had.

I've read how to make custom torsion springs but would probably hurt myself if I tried it.
