I installed a Kepplinger set trigger in my #1, .220S, a number of years ago. I don't recall it being that hard. They have gone up in price since then. I like the Kepplinger more than factory.

DF Brownell's lists them at $181.76 -- out of stock.
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum. I do tend to fit in well wherever I go in person. The campfire is the most outside exposure I get. No TV, no newspaper.

I wonder if "out of stock" is a short term problem or evidence of something worse...

DF I believe Kepplingers are made and imported in batches.

I have Kepplinger on a Mauser,really like it, and it was an easy install. From memory, I think there is an issue or some difficulty with removing one of the pins when swapping out the stock No 1 trigger. I could be wrong though.

The article Bricktop refers to is in the November-December edition of Rifle magazine. Pages 74-75 even have 6 pictures on how to polish the triggers on a # 1.
Am I going to do it? With my four thumbs on each hand?
John also gives probably the best overview you will find in one article on ways to accurize a # 1 and some hints as to which #1s most likely need it and which should not.
Good luck,
1B Are you sure it was Rifle Magazine from November 2011? I downloaded the PDF with the index and it does not indicate an article of that type.

![[Linked Image]](http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx220/ClarkM/KepplingerTrigger1DSCF0005.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx220/ClarkM/KepplingerTrigger1BeforeDSCF0011Test-1.jpg) I bought a Kepplinger set trigger. I noticed the trigger pull was much easier with the Kepplinger, even when the set feature was not activated by pushing the trigger forward. Then I realized all I needed to do for a #1 trigger job was to make a dummy Kepplinger.
