Anthony Lombardo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I need a trigger job badly on my 10mm Hunter. Canyon Creek is 3-4 months and I really can't wait. Anyone else doing small jobs on EAA with fast turnaround? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Are you mechanically inclined? When you say "trigger job" what are you lookin to improve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Lombardo Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Its about 5.5# and creepy..I would like it to be 3.0 and crisp I am great inside a 1911. Not very knowledgeable of the EAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The Tanfoglio trigger mechanism has less parts and is simpler. If you want is super crisp and light you need and EGW hanger and sear. You can get a decent trigger with stock parts but it sounds like you want more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justsomeguy Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The EAA types are easier to do than most. If you are familiar with 1911 types and can do those, you will have little problem tuning up the EAA/Tanfoglio guns. There are various UTube vids online that give pretty good insight into the takedown and assembly as well as which parts to polish and so on. Aftermarket parts are available, but I would try working with the stock parts first. Go slow, don't overdo, and plan on disassembly/reassembly several times before you get it right. If you still need it to be lighter you will need some springs. Wolff Gunsprings are actually very good and I suppose the one non stock part you should have on hand before you start. Don't go too light or you will not be able to set off all the primers that you might encounter. Somewhere around a 15-14lb mainspring/hammer spring will probably get you down into the low 4lb/upper 3lb trigger range which is actually very good if you get it feeling crisp. Much lower than that and it's pretty touchy for most shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
