I wonder if a good cleaning would help the heavy pull on this SBT. I'm not confident in my ability to take the gun apart though.

On our vintage guns sometimes a "heavy" trigger can be cured by a thorough cleaning and lube. Decades of dirt and hardened grease have a tendency to turn a crisp trigger into "pulling a brick on a string". Unless a trigger is excessively heavy I have no problem with it. I have more of a problem with creep than pull weight. My biggest issue comes from shooting a lot of rifle during shotgun seasons. I tend to get "rifle trigger" and expect my shotgun trigger to break at 2 lbs too. That'll lose ya targets in a hurry!!
