You get a few springs and shims. You can chop and change them until you find the right combo to give the desired trigger pull weight. Taking apart the trigger is fiddly, but easy enough. You'll need a fine punch, small hammer (possibly), and then take the stock off the action. There are tons of videos on Youtube like this one that show how easy it is. Don't mind the technique just focus on the steps.

Thanks !!

They do make a big difference for a cheap upgrade. I think patrick carley had them for about 25 euro

Yeah that's who I am gonna get it off just wanted to be sure was it worth it or was it a gimmick but the over all opinion is it's well worth it ?

Not sure who you were asking that off but i'll throw in my tuppence worth.

It reduces the pull weight of the trigger. My last CZ came from the factory with a nearly 5 lb pull. I kept on swapping the springs and shims until i got it to approx. 1.25lb.

Now on a few combos i had slam fires so they don't work. Some made so little a difference it was like the original trigger.

You have to keep changing the bits until you find one that is safe and works.

As for the difference when shooting you have a safe gun, but it doesn't mentally or physically effect the trigger pull to the extent to are concentrating on it rather than the shot placement. With a lighter trigger you have less chance of pulling the shot, so better accuracy and for hunting a higher hit rate.

TBH you really don't need and RFD. It truly is a home job.

I watched the video of that lad hammering the b jeepers out of the rifle, with the scope still on it and resting on its slip, too technical for me I'm afraid,
I leave things like that to the experts,
I'd rather pay to get it done at least then I'd know it's done right and if there was a problem I can bring it back,
Thanks for the info gang,

In fairness you're not wrong. I chose the first video on the list, and have only looked back at it now. It's a bit rough alright.

There are other videos but with them being 45 minutes long i didn't want you think it was brain surgery.

The reason i said to do it yourself is only you can know if it is right for you. An RFD might do it for you, but he'll put in whatever he wants which may not suit. So that means you have to either stand there while he tries various options or keep going back to "perfect" the combo that suits.

if you could get someone who has done one before he could help you out, i got one for my 455 and it really did make a
difference. no problem changing as i only had to change the spring i dont know how much of a pull i have but it is very
very light but passes the bump test.
