Huber trigger on my Krag
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2021 9:38 pm
I finally broke down and bought one, for one of my Krags, after much procrastinating. I installed it on my 98, which had the worst trigger. Removal of the old trigger, and installation of the new Huber was easy. I did leave a lightened replacement trigger return spring in place, that I had used for the stock trigger. After adjusting the set screw for creep, leaving just a little first stage there, I was satisfied. I did place a smear of moly grease on the sear and the ball bearing. Then I was done. For insurance, I cocked the bolt, and smacked the buttstock on the carpeted floor a few times, to test the trigger, and I was good. I put the trigger pull gauge on, and got 24 ounces. Yikes! I may have to go back to a heavy trigger return spring. The gun is safe, but still, maybe adding a pound to the pull, might be a good idea. Anyhow, the weather has been crappy here, and I have not been able to shoot the Krag yet. I will give a range report when that happens. If this works out, I may have to break down and get one for my 99 carbine.
The Huber triggers are a little pricey, but I guess you are paying for the technology, rather than the sum of the parts. Anyhow, Huber is the only game in town.
