Does anyone make a lighter NP XL sear spring? I know Mcarbo made a trigger return spring, which no longer appears on the site. But they didn't make a sear spring kit. I have removed the return spring for now, because it really doesn't do anything of value in that trigger. Trigger pull still measures about 4.2lb. With polishing I can probably bring that down to a clean 4lb pull, but it would be nice to have a clean 2lb second stage, and something like Mcarbo return spring to take up first stage. I have looked over the internal sear and mating surfaces, and I don't see any reason for the trigger spring to be that stiff from a safety standpoint. If there is a valid reason I am open to suggestions. If I can't find an aftermarket one, I might get some spring wire and make my own, but the process of anneal, shaping and re-heat treating is not something I look forward to on a piece that small. Temperatures are critical, and even the slightest mistake could make the spring dangerously brittle.

The bearing trick is cool, but again only deals with the first stage trigger pull, the biggest issue is in the second stage spring being too stiff. I might pick up a bearing just because there is some first stage slop without the spring or bearing, but the heavy pull is my main objective before extreme benchrest next month.
