i have a marlin 336 lever action, its fairly new. the trigger is hard to pull. can this be adjusted, and can i do it my self. thanks jjo

It can't be adjusted but it can be made into a smoother and crisper trigger.

No I would not attempt it yourself. Take it to a gunsmith.

i had the same problem with my winchester 94. it was pulling at about 8#'s or something like that with a ton of creep. i took to a gunsmith and he shaved the weight to 2.5 and it has absolutely no creep for $25. the trigger was so bad that you couldn't shoot accurately so i had no choice.

I hate to agree ,I like to do most things myself .
BUT a gunsmith is the right way to go IMO

I agree take it to a Gunsmith.Unless you know what you are doing a trigger is nothing to play with.

I vote for a gunsmith here too. I wouldn't touch a trigger on a lever gun. Nothing to mess with.

Big Bull is right,a good gunsmith is the only way to go. vangunsmith

thanks guys. i think i will take it to a gun smith.

Those lever guns are difficult to work on - a local smith I use won't touch them. Find someone who knows what he/she is doing and let them at it.
