Trigger job for Remington Rolling block

My better half has a Rem Rolling block in 40-70 SS with a trigger pull that is absolutely horrendous! There are 5 or 6 different models that have been built over the years, and I think this is the 5th Model, but what do I look for to be sure?

 

 

My understanding is that these things are a bit unique and its best to have someone who is familiar with them do a trigger job, Are they that difficult?? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

The biggest thing you can do is have a gunsmith change the trigger spring for a lighter one. I made mine out of piano wire or you can buy one here

Do not touch the sear or trigger until you do this. On my 3 this is all I needed to do. You can change the spring yourself it is that easy.

Lee Shaver is the best for any single shot rifle.

KB, William "Bill" Wescombe's website defines all the RB models ... http://www.rollingblockparts.com/

He also sells for 15 bucks a custom trigger spring kit to reduce trigger pull for the #1 & #5 large frame action models... http://www.rollingblockparts.com/accessories.html

KB, you would be best to call Bill Wescombe first. You posted the caliber is a 40-70 SS and original #1 & #5 Rolling Blocks were not chambered for this caliber only ... 12.17x42 mm rimfire, 12.17x44 mm rimfire and 12.17x44 mm rimmed centerfire Swedish and Norwegian cartridges, .43 Spanish (11.15x58mmR), .50-70, .45-70, and later in .22 caliber. Later models were produced in .30-06 Springfield, 7×57mm Mauser, and 8×50mmR Lebel. If your rifle is a replica - the kit may not be a drop in
