[@Heyomattyo]

Cheers mate, couldn't have done it with out ya!

[@2clicksup910]

Glad it helped

[@akmyke1718]

Great video, thank you!!

[@2clicksup910]

Thanks Mate

[@brett5990]

Thanks for the run down. Went in fast and easy after watching. A magnetic screw driver works a treat on the c clips and stops them flying away. Cheers.

[@simonspooner2482]

I could never do anything like that, you are very skilled.

[@2clicksup910]

It really isn’t that difficult. Just have a go and take your time.

[@barearmz2794]

If you take the smallest screwdriver out of that pack you can pry the c clips off without having it fly away and not scratch the phuck out of your trigger housing😉

I will admit I’m not the kindest to these things.

Hi Nick, I did the same exercise on my Howa heavy barrelled .223 recently. I put a two pound spring kit in, but considering going to one and half pounds as I only shoot from the bench. It's not a hunting rifle. I'm hoping to put the barrelled action into an MDT chassis at some point. I've also done this on my CZ 455 rimfire.

[@2clicksup910]

The 1.5 pound spring is really nice off a bench, but I like a little bit more control when hunting. I’ve only done the HOWA rifles; in fact, this was the last one I had to do, and it gave me the most grief for some reason. Oh well, you live and learn…

Excellent job with video. Your video is the best lit (Lighted) I have seen. Questions about your 2 NEW springs......do they have a code or other description whereby I can see if I have same springs in my Wolff spring kit?

[@2clicksup910]

I don’t believe they have a code or part number as such, but I know they are suitable only fir the HOWA rifles with the HACT 2-Stage trigger with the 3-position safety.

[@shanegibb997]

Both my Howa 223 & Weatherby 243 have 1.5lb triggers and they are only for fox shooting , nice and light ...

[@2clicksup910]

As I said, feels nice on the bench, but I prefer a slightly heavier trigger for hunting.

Gunbloke's instructions advise you to close the bolt slowly after the spring installation. So is this a safe mod or not? I obviously don't want a slam fire if I am trying to do a quick followup shot.

[@2clicksup910]

Obviously test it first up after doing it (rifle empty of with a snap cap in the breach), but it should not be an issue. I’ve done quite a few and never had a drama. I’d be more concerned with the really light pull weights.

[@Hobsonguitars]

Hey mate did you have any trouble getting the kit from gunbloke? I've heard he is just awful with postage times. I've been looking at the 2lb kit but was worried i wont get it :/

[@2clicksup910]

No not at all. Not the quickest postage in the world, but that’s probably as much Australia Post as anything. Never had an issue buying off Gunbloke.

[@Hobsonguitars]

@@2clicksup910 that's good to hear. I'm definitely ordering a kit now. Thanks for the reply :)

[@AlexSwan]
