Default RE: replacement trigger or adjusting a marlin?

Quilly.. On the Marlin 25n {22} You can take a lot of the trigger pull weight just by simply replacing the main trigger spring with a weaker spring. You can use a pen spring but make shure you cut it about 2 turns longer than the original spring. The other thing to do is to take a dremmel tool and grind down the front of the engagement surfaces on the trigger and sear, this gives your trigger a shorter distance to travel to disengage. Be shure to do a little at a time, because if you get to grind happy your trigger will not set all the time or could possibly go off when you set the bolt or flip off the safty. These steps will take your trigger from factory set 6lbs to 2lbs. Once you get done, be shure to use a fine stone or file to get rid of any burs that might occur durring the dremmel prosses. If your going to use the gun for target shooting or just plinking these steps will really help trigger and gun performance, but if you want a lighter trigger for hunting small game in the woods just try changing the spring. I hope I helped you out, let us know how it goes.
