Title: Pistolsmith near Everett?
Post by: MikeWalking on May 03, 2010, 10:39:10 AM

Can anybody recommend one near Everett. I'd like to do something about the !$@#$ trigger on a Browning Hi-power.

Not sure about the everett area but i would recommend Spot on smithing in Sammamish, not that far to drive to get the job done correctly..

I don't know of any near you. I work triggers on my own guns. There is a Power Custom part that reduces trigger pull on BHP's. A little polish here and there without changing angles usually works wonders. There's a reduced power spring kit available. All things you can do yourself if you've got any mechanical aptitude.

If it was me, and I wanted a pro, I'd search the net for someone that specializes in BHP's and send it off.

You shouldn't have to pay more than $100 for a trigger job on a BHP. And be specific about what you want.  It'll never be a 1911. But they can be made much nicer.

Thx. I've installed new triggers/sears in all my Marlins and plan to install a Timney in my Remington 700 SPS so I may try something my self. My only complaint  is the mile of take up..

Well after cruising all over the Internet looking for help with my BHP I found a BHP owners Forum.  I've discovered that for one I already have the trigger that everyone wants, very light and smooth and that the long take up is pretty much the way it's gonna stay.

Some say it's the Pistol John Browning corrected all the 1911's faults on. ;) :stirthepot:

Still a Belgian made BHP is worth having. :chuckle:
