Marlin 336 trigger question
I got a new marlin 336 last year but the trigger sucks. Can a gunsmith do some work on it? Or would it be better to bite the bullet and spend $90 on a new trigger. I put a bold trigger on my mauser which was easy and cost less but it made a world of difference.

Re: Marlin 336 trigger question
There is a trigger kit they talk about on the Marlin forums. Eliminates all the slop and stuff. I may do mine as my next project

Yah I don't want to mess with it.My gunsmith will do a trigger job for 65.00. I think I will go that route.

Curious to what exactly he is going to do to it....

Re: Marlin 336 trigger question
I think he is going to do the same thing they were showing on the marlin forum.

Re: Marlin 336 trigger question
he may use a stone to smooth out the sear trigger connection a little bit to tighten it up.

Re: Marlin 336 trigger question
The Marlin flop is normal for them. Think of the range & intended purpose. If distance is close & the gun is unscoped I'd likely use the $ for more ammo to get used to it. ANY TIME you have a smith doing anything there's a chance of a botched job/ an end product not as reliable/ and a real good chance of a long wait. If it really bothers you get it done, but ask how many he's done. If you could handle one he has done even better.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing
