Trigger job

I'm in the other half of the country, so I don't know a shop to send you to.

~~~

One of the issues that you may encounter, is a gunsmith who does not want to work on that particular rifle. Some guns require a lot more time and effort to achieve a good trigger job, and sometimes the finished product is not great, but it's as good as it's gonna get. I've worked the bench, it is sometimes better to refuse a job, especially with a backlog of work. Reputation-wise, it's better to turn down work, than to turn out work that the customer will never ever be happy with.

Do consider how much money you're willing to spend on a trigger job, then compare this with the hourly shop rate, then decide if you'll be happy with just a so-so end product. On guns that do not have an adjustable trigger, all the work is physical alterations, this leads to numerous assembly/disassembly and testing which just eats ups the minutes on a clock.
