first day shooting with marlin 25 n m

shooter88

Had the day off so was like a child going around making targets and a bench..got sights set and spent the rest of the day shooting crows and noticed a fox on my patch..nice little gun trigger is a little heavy tho..happy with the mod seems to deaden the bang a noticeable amount obviously leaving the crack..happy I got rid of the shotgun for it(still I seen some lovely shots for the shotty today)

Very easy way to make the trigger pull lighter using the spring out of one of those "soft feel" pens (€2 in tesco). Plenty of guides online and very easy to DIY

eh put a spring off a pen into a rifle? I think I'd rather stick to parts designed for the rifle.

Check out www.rimfirecentral.com you will find loads of tips regarding trigger modifications inc. the biro spring trick. It works too !!

marlin vs

The spring from a biro is OK untill you knock the gun by accident, then it will fire on it's own so be very very carefull.Go get a riflebasix trigger and be safe.
