I'll track down the details from Rimfire central

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

I just did the trigger spring (in blue). Replaced it with a brass spring from a warehouse stationery pen and cut it shorter.

If you want it better do the one in red.

Interesting reading. The erratic nature of the number suggests a normal weight barrel? Were there any accuracy or grouping statistics done. I bet the 19 would shoot better that the 16 inch at 200 yards. Given you have a heavy barrel - you will be fab. Keep us posted. Keep safe in the hills.

Thanks GM made a 1.2 spacer for the red one way lighter now and safe after a bit of a knocking test

Now next thing send to loose some Barrell length. Thanks

Get on with it I'm keen, but your the guinea pig!

Divergence but $400 for a savage 17hmr with 300 rounds through and heavy barrel is cheap right? Stainless steel too

Must have a good scope!

Really cheap if its laminate stock, reasonably cheap if its synthetic.

Oh ok, how much they go for new?

Was just trying to convince myself that I need a 17hmr

Laminate ones (there are a few versions) maybe $800 new if you find a good deal, $600 for stainless synth I think. Maybe $650 for the heavy barrel synth? Been a while since I really looked into it. So $400 probably is a good buy if its in good nick. The wood and laminate stocks are much nicer to use though, stiffer and better shape.
