WILD WEST GUNS TRIGGER-HAPPY KIT - WILD WEST GUNS Marlin Trigger-Happy Kit, Nickel

Reduced trigger pull from 5.5 lbs to 3.5 lbs on my Marlin 336. It's a really nice clean break with no flop. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I wish it was a tad cheaper. But would recommend it.

This trigger was easy to install with no fitting required. I have a new Marlin 1894, and had no issues what so ever installing this trigger. The factory trigger pull weight was about 6.5 lbs on my particular rifle. The Nickel Happy Trigger I installed tested consistent at 1 lb 9 oz which may be a little light for some folks but perfect for me. I highly recommend this trigger to anyone who likes a light trigger pull with a crisp break and no take up. Also added the wolf reduced spring kit. love the hammer spring but the lever release spring is pretty light, perfect for cowboy action shooting I suppose.

I installed this trigger in an old Marlin 336 that had the worst trigger I've ever seen in a Marlin 336. It was 8 1/2 to well over 9 lbs when I 1st bought the rifle used. This Wild West Trigger installed with no fitting required at all and now I have a 3 1/2 to 4 lb pull. Very pleased with the results.

This is a well thought out product. It took me about twenty minutes from start to finish to install. On my 1894, the trigger pull measured 2.8 pounds after installation. It is a crisp clean break. I found no weaknesses in it. In my rifle, it was a true drop in fit.

Took 15 minutes to change and took the trigger pull from 10 lbs to 4 1/2 lbs.

Dropped the trigger in 457 Mag and what a difference, when you are on a Bigger Caliber it's a bit of a difference even a Hot load 45/70 , much less the factory loads . Any way easy in and I can tell the trigger is under 4 lbs , I've got a couple big calibers and I am dropping 1 in them all. Tightens every thing up.

This trigger is a great upgrade to my Marlin 336! I wish that I had added years ago. I have never been happy with the stock trigger, but wasn't sure about spending the money to replace it. The improvement was worth every penny!!

Easy to install, installed it went out back and happilly put 20 rounds down range its now a tack driver so thrilled

It was truly drop-in part in my Marlin 444P Outfitter. It took about an hour to install... and I was taking my time to also do a detail cleaning. The trigger pull is noticeably lighter, but it's no "hair-trigger." The break is extremely crisp. This is a great upgrade for a hunting gun if you are unsatisfied with your current trigger pull.

Installed this trigger in my 308 Mxlr. Factory trigger on my gun was very stiff and this has lightened it up significantly. Was able to install without much issue, just followed a tutorial. Very pleased and would purchase again in an instant.

Recently bought an 1894 in .44 magnum. The factory trigger challenged any hope for accuracy at around 8#. Did some research, apparently got the last Trigger Happy kit available here (in nickel, though my rifle is blued-- looks pretty good!) Installed it myself courtesy of some good instructions I found on the internat, and also added a Wolff hammer spring. Now I have a 2.5# trigger and the gun is a different animal! Highly recommended.

I installed the Happy Trigger in my JM-marked Marlin .45-70 Guide Gun last night in under an hour. The only reason it took that long is that I also polished up a few other bearing surfaces in the action. No instructions were included, but high quality instructions are easily found online.



The original trigger had a slightly rough pull that measured at 3lbs, so it was quite acceptable to begin with. After replacement, it measured out at 2-1/8th lbs with extremely little variation from one pull to the next, and is exceptionally crisp. You've heard the phrase "Breaking a glass rod" before? It's a perfect description for the end result which is completely free of creep, grittiness or drag of any sort.



Note that I did not have to polish the sear engagement surface on the hammer at all as it was fairly well machined and was without any burrs or roughness. The sear on the original trigger was however very rough and uneven. It was machined more heavily on one side than the other, and was not engaging un a uniform manner with the sear engagement surface on the hammer. The Happy Trigger sear is laser straight and machined without any roughness whatsoever. As it should be!



Money well spent indeed.

Regards

The price felt a bit steep when I first received the internationally shipped package, but after install I was truly amazed.



The trigger on my 336 was very stiff, and I expected this to help a little. But it must have removed what felt like half the amount of force required to pull the trigger, and changed my rifle completely.



It might just be a small part for $90 but I was indeed worth it!

No fitting required install in my post Remington buy-out Marlin 336C. Vast improvement in the trigger pull when coupled with the Brownells spring kit 080-000-192WB. Instructions are not included but step by step install go-by's are easily googled up.

The trigger is easy to install. There is plenty of help on the internet. It was advertized to be a 3lb trigger. In my case the Marlin 336 was new and the trigger pull was off the gauge. After installing this trigger the pull was about 6 1/4 lbs. This does not sound very good but it did make a huge difference from what it was originally. I would recommend this trigger to lighten a very heavy one. It is well built and it dropped right in with no fitting. Just do not expect a target trigger.

The Marlin Guide gun has been on my bucket list for quite awhile. I finally bought one about 6 months ago, and love the gun with the exception of the trigger. If you don't know what creep means, pull the trigger on a Marlin. Last night I tore the gun down using one of the several tutorials I found on line. While I had it all apart, I polished all the parts and installed the new trigger. It's fantastic. In the comments someone posed the question, why doesn't Marlin just start using this type of design in their new guns? That is a good question. When you put it back together, don"t tighten the screws on the receiver until you get the hammer screw back in. It took me about 15 minutes of head scratching to figure out why I couldn't get the hammer screw holes to line up. The price only hurts until you see the results, and I learned a lot about the gun in the process.

VERY WELL MADE TRIGGER FITTED RIGHT IN SO SIMPLE AND WHAT A BIG DIFFERENCE IT MADE TO MY MARLIN 336 SS THANKS WILD WEST GUNS AND BROWNELLS FOR AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT

This product is very hard. It removed all the flop from my action. I am a very trigger happy person now.

This is the best upgrade you can do for your Marlin 1895 in .450 Marlin. Lighter pull than the factory, no slop in the pull and as long as you know the basics about your guns internals it is pretty easy to install. Haven't measured the pull weight but you most definitely can feel the difference. Kinda like replacing an old k98 Mauser trigger with a Timney Sportsman. The only thing that would improve this trigger is if it had about a pound and a half pull. I like them light.

I installed this in an older 336 (mid 80 ) gun. It took a lot of work ie fitting and polishing to get in . Once done it works great very crisp trigger pull ,and no slop . I also polished the hammer since it was on the bench ,made a nice job.

Used this trigger along with a spring kit (Brownels) to get a crisp, cosistant, clean breaking 2 1/2lb (measured with digital trigger pull gauge)trigger pull- and no trigger flop. Instalation took about 30 minutes with no filing, fitting, or fideling arount. Accompanying instruction are clear enough, but really not needed as the installation is straight forward - take out the factory trigger, put in the new. Owner has been using firearm in cowboy action shooting and really couldn't believe the difference in before and after.

I have installed this kit on a 336C 30-30 and on an 1895 SBL 45-70. One blue and the other stainless. Both were easy to install and remove the trigger flop as well as any creep in the trigger. Both of my trigger pull weights came down at least 1 lb per gun. Trigger pull on my 1895 is now a clean 3lbs and my 336C is a clean 3.5 lbs. Note: You are changing trigger parts so make sure you test for safety after you install. If you don't know much about triggers this might not be for you.

put this in my 1895, 45-70 and got a night and day diffrence in the trigger....this is a must have for the heavy trigger pulls on most marlins...do it yourself installation....

Read all the great reviews and decided to drop this in my 1895 Guide Gun. Installation was easy enough, and it does completey eliminate the "Marlin Flop" I am however, disappointed in the final triger pull. Before the install, my lyman gauge measured the pull at 4lbs 10 oz. After, I was at 5 lbs 8 oz, almost a full pound heavier.I understand a trigger job will get this lower, but I shouldnt have to spend $80 in gunsmithing to make an [$] trigger work.

Did not fit my Marlin 336
1955 year model 35 rem
The amount of fitting required would excessive to get any kind of fit. Bought it because of all the good reviews, maybe it just fits newer Marlins??

I don't know why this isn't Marlin's stock trigger. It takes all the slop out of the trigger, which the stock trigger is known for. You now have a crisp trigger which makes the gun more accurate. The quality of the trigger is a big selling point for many guns. With this trigger in your gun, you will be much happier with it. How does it work? The edge that engages the sear is narrower, so the trigger doesn't move except to fire the gun. Simple, and it works.

This Trigger is awesome. The original factory triggers have so much flop that you would think they were broke if you didn't know better. Not this one, with it installed it there is no flop and along with just polishing the hammer where it meets up with the trigger you can get this down to a crisp 2 pound pull. You already have the hammer out its worth the 5 mins. to to polish it up. A true Drop-In no fitting at all has to be done.

The original trigger is by far the worst part on the marlin 336. Changing it to the wild west trigger offers you a new world. It is excellent but expensive. Did the replacement on my own.

Nice trigger easy to install. Wish it was a little lighter on the pull (3lbs)

This is a wonderful upgrade to my 444 Marlin.
It is nice & crisp with no takeup & very little overtravel, compared to factory trigger it is the difference between night & day. No trigger scale to check poundage..sorry but 50% less would be my estimate. Great trigger nuff said.

Replaced the trigger in my Marlin 1895 guide gun. Pull dropped from 6 lbs to 3.5 lbs, crisp and no creep. Easy to install.
