Hi, Bullseye--
Just got back the M! Garand trigger housing group that I sent to Mac, the 'smith you referred me to. The trigger IS lighter- used to have 8# pull, now probably 4.5-5#. Far as I can see he must have cut off half or even one full coil off the trigger spring. Cost me $50, a fair price, I would say.
He said he builds match rifles in .308 and 30-06, restocked, glassed (bedding), match sights, etc., and is willing to pick up my rifle if I can't ship it to him. However, I am not planning to shoot match- just seeing dem holes in the black, scattered though they may be, is enough to warm the cockles of my heart.
If any reader would like to get in touch with this M1 Garand (only) 'smith, just holla and I'll send you his name/address/phone.

GARAND TRIGGER JOB
A bad shot is often caused by a loose nut behind the buttplate
He built me one in .308 back in the 80's and it is still one sweet shooter. I don't shoot it as much as I used to but it does still put them in a tight little knot in the target.
Happy to hear your trigger is more to your liking. 4.5 lbs. is the NRA standard minimum for Highpower Service Rifle triggers.
