    ( FYI ) hunting and fishing got scoped package of the .22xt $399
    Just take the old spring out and put the right sized pen spring in. If you screw it up you can always put the factory spring back in or try another pen. With the Marlin semi, which tends to have the same or better accuracy because of the free floated barrel maybe, you just pinch a shutter spring from a 3.5" floppy.

    Survy, it's piss easy, reversible, just take a deep breath and do it

    If you get stuck, post a pic and either gadget or myself will get you sorted.

    Can you post a pic of which spring it is?

    I did mine ages ago and although it made the creep smoother the pull part to make it fire is still just as hard. I forgot the term sorry

    Marlin T-900 Trigger re-work (917v and similar rifles)

    I only did the trigger return spring on mine as that was enough.

    Just got back from the range with mine. Shoots great. Broke the front "swivel" using a bipod. Has ejection issue. Ejects 5/10.

    We will have the xtr22r synthetic as the bolt action .22lr rifle we hire out.

    very decent for the price. Solid built and reliable. you can't go wrong with them.
