My trigger is 3.5 pounds which I know isn’t bad. Just wondering if anyone has experience with these? Would like to get to about 2.5
Thanks

did a trigger job for a friend, honed the surfaces and played with springs, got just under 2 pounds, he was happy with it right there, wanted to take it to 1 pound, it can be done

I wouldn't be surprised if Henry's trigger parts are made from sintered steel and are incapable of a full thickness heat treat.
