Replacing hammer and sear in Winchester 94 - 12/10/18
I purchased a very clean Winchester pre’64 model 94 a few months ago. The trigger pull is much lighter than I like and much lighter than my other 94’s. I’ve been told that the hammer and or sear was likely altered. Yesterday I ordered a NOS sear and clean unaltered hammer to replace the “likely”altered ones in my rifle. I would like to attempt the replacement myself. I have done nice gunsmith screwdrivers brass/plastic mallet etc.
1) is this something that can be done by a non gunsmith?
2) if I’m just after a factory trigger pull will there be any sear or hammer notch polishing necessary?
Any tips, do’s/dont’s, special tools needed etc is appreciated. Thanks!
