I was lucky enough to come into a 1920/26 a couple months back but haven't yet had a chance to shoot it. Tonight I was testing the trigger pull and came to the firm conviction that it's nothing more than a standard military two-stage pull. With that in mind I worked the trigger back in forth with the bolt cocked while being careful to not trip the sear. In a short bit the first stage cleaned up nicely and lost its stagey feel. I am sure I just knocked loose years of gunk, but it now has a fairly respectable two-stage pull that breaks at 4 3/4-ounces. Of course it's hard to tell how this translates into a real world value until I get it on a bench where, at times, it can feel like it takes the weight of the world just to trip a few meager ounces.
