It's a Customer's Gun, but Neither He nor I are Known as Gamers, but we do like to hit things in the next time zone ....

I think this spring would better serve on a 3 ton truck ...

When you are trying to hit things at 1Km. Plus 7 pounds don't work .

I thought all the Pedersoli Sharps had a set trigger. Never knew they sold a single trigger model that was not a set trigger design.

Is this a single or double trigger setup?

Double Trigger , but the main spring is so heavy that the set feature doesn't work all the time ....

It takes about 45 pounds to cock the hammer ...

Your best bet is to buy a stock replacement and see how the action works then. If it is still too stiff you have a spring to thin down.  I have a Pedersoli Sharps and the hammer is no where near that hard to cock.

This for mine to.

I cock mine with my little finger with the gun in the cross sticks.

Just in case you don't have them, here are the instructions for adjusting the set triggers I got with my rifle.

 

The first document is by Dick Trent. He is the authority on Pedersoli firearms.

 

DOUBLE AND SINGLE SET TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT & SAFETY.pdf

 

This is one I found on the internet that covers set triggers in general.

Sounds like there's some severe binding in the lock.

Remove it, and flush and lube it.

Look for wear/rub marks.

This. Those springs are not that heavy. As above, I cock mine with one finger.

The trigger pull when I received was 16 pounds, it is now 7 1/2 pounds ...

The action is clean and lubed.

I take it that there are no aftermarket springs out there .

I have  polished the sides of the spring to remove all the burrs

Is that the set trigger pull or the unset?

 

On mine, with the trigger set,  the trigger pull us so light that all you need to do is think about putting your finger on the trigger and it goes boom.

Light mainspring on a rifle like that is probably a bad idea.  The last thing you want to do is slow down the lock time.

45 pounds needed to cock the hammer , I think it can be lightened....
