Title: T/C Encore trigger job?
Post by: JoeE on August 02, 2013, 02:58:53 AM: Has anybody done a trigger job on their encore? I was looking at the DIY kit from Bellmtc but not sure if its a task that I want to take on. Is it something that can be easily done or should I send it in to somebody? I'm afraid of messing something up since my gunsmith skills are lacking.

I bought a trigger spring kit from midway USA for my browing rifle, maby you should call them and ask about the t/c? Good luck, I really liked that gun... :'(

So far I've put about 20 rounds through the pistol and I'm really liking it. As long as I'm prepared and hanging on the recoil isn't too bad. That's gonna be my backpacking gun this year and maybe if I do any hunting off a mountain bike. I'm also taking it to Alaska next year to throw in my pack as a backup in case something happens to my rifle. I'll definitely get some use out it! Did you get your binos?

I actually liked them better than the el's, the el's to me had a bubble effect when I looked through them. I'm very happy with the slc's, thanks. Have fun with that girl!

I've got a few Bellm goodies in mine. Get the #2 hinge pin from him too. I bought the kit with 2 sizes but if I recall, the #2 fits most of them.

No, but apparently I could have. The guy that put the brake on the barrel did the trigger. He said it was very easy. The hinge pin, I'm sure you've got that figured out by now. I did put the heavier hammer spring in myself that Bellm sells. That took less than 10 minutes, and I also have his hammer extension on it.

Post by: JoeE on August 03, 2013, 06:37:33 AM: I put in a #2 Bellm hinge pin already. I think I'll get the trigger kit from Bellm too and give it a whirl. I've read about the heavier hammer spring and hammer extension but I don't understand what they do. What do they do to improve the gun?
Title: Re: T/C Encore trigger job?
Post by: jackelope on August 03, 2013, 07:28:21 AM: The hammer extension just makes it easier to grab the hammer if there's scope clearance issues. The heavier spring prevents misfires. Bellm recommends it if you're using a hammer extension. If you read around online, you'll find misfire issues associated with the added weight from a hammer extender. I would only use the Bellm extender. It has 3 set screws to keep it tight which is what you want.

So Im assuming you didnt order me one as well...like you said you would?

Post by: JoeE on August 03, 2013, 06:55:49 PM: I did...But the pack came with a #1 and a #2 so I assumed you didn't want the #1. I'm going to order another #2 for my pistol and I'll order an extra one then. I had to see what fit first, I didn't forget about you!
