Last year I bought a Original Marlin 1894 25/20 for Silhouette competition. I know the inside of Marlins pretty well. This model is much sought after however the Hammer/Trigger was totally screwed up. It would not even function. Shop had sold it twice both times returned. I paid a low price expecting to go on a hunt for parts.

At home stripping the gun it was obvious the Hammer notch and sear were as they left the factory in 1912. Ordered new springs from Windners, installed the springs and it not only worked like it should trigger pull is very good smooth with nice clean let off. Offhand Sillouette rifle all Origional to meet class rules, very light gun, trigger pull makes for good scores.

I don't know of any gunsmith that's equipped to improve Lever action pulls by stoning Sears. You need a jig rifle specific free hand won't do and too many different rifles out there to keep the jigs on hand. Better to replace the parts.

Quality shotguns another thing and no doubt it's possible a good man can correct problems, if it has a problem from poor work years ago. You can bet it left Parker with proper sear engagement .

The locks are beautiful inside. Nothing has been messed with. Either the sear notch has worn from wear and tear or it came that way from the factory. Whatever the case, the trigger pull is much too light. I am confident the gunsmith I have it at will be able to correct it. I will post again when I get the results.

thanks,
Thayne

The gun double fires about 40% of the time. I understand that the angle on the sear engagement needs to be changed. Is this the correct way of correcting this issue? I would like to see a normal trigger pull of about 6 pounds like my other double guns have. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Problem can be caused by what you described, but there can be other factors influencing it too. As wood edge it changes position of top tong to bottom tong moving location of triggers with arms push on sears, that can cause that sears can't reach full engage with hammers staying on tip of sear (very light trigger pull) I look that first and ensure that action components as well side plates are steady. If not I do full glass bad job to all parts after epoxy soak of wood. If wood is damaged to much by age or gun oil more intense work is require in order for epoxy to adhere or restocking is require.(in critical situation) Next step is to do a trigger job as tuning angkes&surface quality and spring tension in order to achieve safe trigger pulls to customers request.
