Thanks King. No, I certainly wouldn't attack it myself; just wondered what is involved. I have no idea how trigger pull adjustments are made.

Later: actually, after a quick google search, I do now know HOW they're done. Still wouldn't try it myself of course.

Truth be known, about 75% of the "gunsmiths" in this country don't know how to create a reasonable and safe trigger pull on a double (or SBT) gun. I know this from a master smith I knew for years. He was literally tired of doing corrective work on good guns. In fact... trigger work is reserved for the most seasoned bloke in any English shop.

If you want that trigger a little heavier, send it to an acknowledged pro. Like Kirk Merrington or Brad Bachelder. Just pray some bodger hasn't destroyed the sear and notch already.
