This has to be the most professional and informative firearm related video that I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Absolutely outstanding, easy to follow and right on the money. I did this on my 1915 M91 and the results are beyond great. Eric, thank you very much.
Don't know why I didn't think about doing this till just last weekend. Holy crap, what a difference, no sanding wheel for me, I just did it by hand, worked with some 240 to get all the machine marks off and shorten the sear slightly, then polished to 2000 grit just cause I can. This along with IV8888's sticky bolt fix has made my mosin so much happier now!
After watching this video a few times, I have now successfully completed 5 trigger jobs on the Mosin. I got them at a couple of different levels from between 2 to 4 pounds. Added a spring to trigger to take slack out. Thank you!
I bought my first Mosin 4 years ago and worked out by myself how to do a trigger. Looks like I did everything right. Now I have 3 Mosins and triggers work very good.
I own a '44 that was really brought down by careless owners. I've now cleant everything, removed some rust scars, removed paint from the stock so the plywood pattern came out, waxed it. You gave me some very valuable hints in your videos so I'll go on with some basic glass bedding and trigger tuning. Thank you!
I've scoured the net for every mosin trigger tip I can find. This one is the best explained and informative so far! But, I kinda expected that from you guys! Thanks :)
IV8888, thanks for this great and EASY fix. My Mosin had a pretty hard, gritty feeling trigger. Disassembled like you showed, and just buffed the sear and the cocking assembly with a 240 grit paper on my little Harbor Freight Multitool and shined up both surfaces. A drop or two of gun oil on the sear when I reassembled the receiver and bolt. Now, it's a clean, crisp break. Thanks!
I hate your guts. My life was good. I was a relatively happy man. Surveying, trumpets, and the occasional trip to the range. Enter freakin' Eric and his Mosins. Now I have 11. Daum. Seriously, great video. Working away from home, but once I get back will attempt this on 4 that have godawful triggers. I had planned to just get Timneys, but you may have saved me several hundred bucks. Thanks and keep bringing these great videos.
Perry Parsons , after my Mosin infection had cleared up for a while, my wife asked me "how many guns is enough??" I casually replied, "just one more, honey!"
Eric - You're the man. I had already filed down the sear a wee bit, and the trigger was much improved. This video really gave detailed instructions. I bought a grinder bit for my dremmel tool and grinded the parts Eric used a belt sander on (don't have a belt sander). Then polished all grinded parts with dremmel coarse finishing wheel - came out perfect. I've now got just under a 4 lb. trigger pull. I weighed the trigger pull by tying a wire around a 1/2 gallong jug (4 lbs.), then tied the other end to the inside of the trigger guard. Put the jug on the floor and with wire over the trigger, slowly lifted the rifle, and the trigger broke. So I know it's just under 4 lbs. Another great video from Iraqveteran8888 - the trigger job is perfect, and simple to accomplish. Thanks and God Bless you!
Hey Eric, big fan of your videos.I just did the exact same trigger job on my Mosin and it works freaking awesome.now I have about a 4 pound trigger thanks for the for the tips keep it up
I finally found a hex receiver and sold round receiver to a good friend. We are planning on doing a lot of mods to both rifles to accurize them including bedding the stocks and doing this trigger job, but we are waiting for the 2nd segment showing the advanced trigger job. It is my hopes to do all of the mods at one time and not have to disassemble the rifles again once after the 2nd video is posted. I think the 2nd video showing the over travel screw and return spring is highly anticipated and will really help a lot of people out with making their rifles easier to shoot and more accurate. I keep checking in from time to time to see if the new vid has been posted. I can't wait to learn how to do the advanced trigger job on both of our rifles!!! Eric and Barry and all of the Moss Pawn crew, you guys are great and you're sharing a lot of knowledge and educating people how to work on their guns and how to become better shooters. You guys are my favorite TH-cam page.
I really like your videos. The production values are high and the amount of information you provide has educated me immensely & helped me on numerous occasions. Thanks for taking the time to do these!
I just polished all the contact surfaces of the trigger and bolt to a mirror shine and added a .030 shim (cut from an aluminum "thinbit" measuring tool) under the spring and got the same result as he did. Smooth, light trigger, no bump misfire, no bolt lifting movement, just a lot of loose trigger travel so I still need the trigger slack spring.
Just wanted to say this as well. The production value of your videos has skyrocketed. I feel as though I'm watching a professionally produced video series. And on top of that, with someone that has an accent that that I'm more than used to and makes it so easy to listen to. Keep up the more than awesome work.
I just bought a Mosin this evening. I'll be spending some quality time over the next few days cleaning the 20 lbs of grease off of it. All the serial numbers match and it was built at the Tula plant in 1942. I'm pretty excited to take it to the range!
These videos ROCK! After I applied the instructions of this video to my 91/30, I did a dry-fire comparison with a Timney trigger. The smithed trigger fired just like the Timney trigger did.
This works surprisingly well. I did what has been depicted in all of Eric's mosin videos and my trigger pull is a fraction of what it was, my bolt has no rotation when pulling the trigger. I also added some epoxy to the front sight post and filed it down to get the elevation proper for 100 yards instead of spending money on the smith sights. I can now average 3 inch groups at 100 yards all day long.
Eric thanks for the video. I did just what you said to my mosin and yes I did take off to much and had to adjust the stop. however it turned out great. keep up the good work.
Great vid Eric. I just picked up a M38 and removed cosomoline, checked firing pin protrusion and headspace with extractor removed. All from watching your vids. So please keep doing them. I love the mil surplus rifles. And your vids are a huge help. Look forward to the advance trigger job vid. Keep up the good work.
I just did this to my M44 trigger and also polished the inside of the trigger box and added a slack spring from C & R Surplus Spring. It now breaks around 3.5-4lbs. Really nice.
Thanks for posting Eric, I did the mods to my Mosin and now have a much more crisper trigger pull. I did the drop test a couple times to be sure it was safe, it passed. Thanks again for helping me make my weapon better.
Just got done with this mod to my 91/30 stuffed in a CBRPS bullpup stock, turned out awesome. Before the job the gun had a what felt like a 10lbs pull and with the hoaky linkage of the bullpup felt like it was doubled. Ground down the seer and polished everything up and without linkage it feels like a 4lbs pull and maybe 6lbs with linkage. Tried the shimming of the leaf spring doesn't work near as well as grinding the seer highly recomend this. Thanks
Nice job, Eric and really clear. They Mosin/Nagant you either hate these guns or you love them and I love their simplicity for the battlefield and now hunting.
Dude, THANK YOU for this video. I just did this with an Ace Hardware 2-sided honing stone & a piece of 400 grit sand paper & I have a crisp, decent, & surprising trigger after an hour or so of work. Probably at like 4-6 lbs. Awesome!
I was new to shooting, saw your videos on the Mosin, I now have 3 beautiful rifles, I love the videos you have done and are doing on this great rifle, I have learned so much about all firearms from you and Barry, the whole team does a wonderful job, thank you.
Great video Eric. Following this video I was able to reduce the inconsistent trigger on my '43 from 8-10 pounds to a very consistent 6.5 pound trigger and nowhere near as squishy. Very happy with that result. My workshop isn't as well equipped as yours but I was still able to do the job with the grinding, sanding, and polishing wheels on a Dremel.
Thanks! Working on two Mosin's for my buddy and me. Cleaning cosmoline and refinishing the stock with new shellac. I added a spring to the trigger where the trigger pin is. I think you mentioned that but it does give a nicer pull. Going to add your modification and expect to get nice results. Don't worry about length of your videos. We can always skip ahead but we can't add more to it!
Great video, I really appreciate it. I ground too much and had to grind the sear stop to give me enough engagement. When I assembled the unit, the bolt would not stay engaged. I ended up having to file the inside top of the trigger to allow the sear to engage. I only filed on the same angle at full forward trigger position. That allowed the sear to engage enough to hold the bolt properly and eliminate almost all of the take-up in the trigger. Now it has about a 4 to 5 pound trigger. Thanks.
Thank you for this video! I was very apprehensive before starting the job, but in the end all is well. Starting with a 9.5lbs trigger, I followed your instructions as closely as I could and ended up with a 4lbs 4 ounces trigger on the first try. Of course, it didn't crack exactly at 4lbs 4 ounces every time. It was an average of 7 samplings with a standard deviation of 3 ounces.
"The main thing is you don't want this thing dropping out of a deer stand and shooting you in the ass." That comment alone made me hit the like button.
Thanks Eric. I got to say, the How To Episodes have always been your forte. Time to ditch that spacer I put in between the trigger leaf and the receiver and actually do it the right way. Thanks again!
Great video series on trigger jobs. I followed your instructions and got fantastic results on both of my Mosin Nagant rifles. My M44 carbine was absolutely terrible before i did the work on it. Went from a creepy 9 lb. trigger, to a smooth 2.5 lb. trigger. Keep the "how to" videos coming!
Nothing is too long when its about this. Two stage trigger video? I have done this work and no polishing yet but already much much better trigger, but am anxious for YOUR two stage video. Thank you guys.
I bought one on Sunday, am waiting to pick it up, and have looked at just about every vid on youtube. Field strip is the same as all the 10/22's. I'm just going to wait for the owner's manual. Congrats to us both!
I just shimmed mine, takes like two minutes plus a little fine tuning. I tried a soda can tab first, was too thick. I settled on a business card, it still doesn't break as light as I would like it to, but I couldn't get it any lighter without it being unsafe. I might make a metal shim later, but for now this works. Going to install one of those C&R slack springs as well. Probably around 3 to 4lb pull.
Why I did not find this video before is very sad. Plan to play with the trigger soon, you do a great job of explaining the procedure with simple every day language.
great information, I have 3 mosins, the 91/30, an M44, and I just picked up an M53. I will be trying this out on one of them and can't wait for more videos like this.
I finally got around to doing this and I want to say thanks. The pull was over 8 pounds and now it's at about 3 pounds without any slam/drop firing. The trick is getting sharp edges and taking just a little off at a time. File, test, file, test....
Thank you so much for this. I happened to have one of those 10-12 pound triggers. Its probably sitting around 4 pounds now. I dont have access to a belt sander so I used a small aluminum oxide sharpening stone and some fine grit sandpaper. My next step is glass bedding.
Polished up mine with a finger file and it came out damn nice, thanks for the how to!!!!! the trigger isn't all gritty before firing, does need a polish thought!
Thanks again for been a veteran, thanks for this video is the best very straightforward , please continue the good job god bless American & our soldiers.
I have to say Eric, I did the trigger job and it came out great! I'm pulling about 4.5 pounds and It cut my group size down by approx. 1/2! Not only is it lighter, but it's also much more fun to shoot. Thanks a lot for putting all the time in the video I really appreciate it. Can you do one for M48 mausers???
Thank you for another great how to video. I love both yours and Barry's videos on how to fix and make stuff on your own. I can't wait to see the advanced trigger job for the Mosin. I have always wanted one and now I want one even more because of your torture and how videos. Thanks again and keep on making all of your videos. You guys are great.
I got the same effect by visiting Home Depot and buying a tiny washer and a tiny torsion spring. The spring will allow the trigger to feel lighter as you pull back, so you can relieve the tension of the trigger. The shim will allow you to get a better and stronger accuracy. No power tools, no permanent modifications, one crisp trigger. You can buy these as a kit for like $5 online just to make sure you get the right items or you can get them for less than a dollar at the good ol' Depot. You can find the information just by googling Mosin trigger spring kit.
First of all let me start by saying that I love all of your videos. I watch each one as soon as I get the notification that you have uploaded it. With that being said I'm still waiting for the Mosin set and over travel adjustment videos. Any idea when if ever you guys will get that video out to us?
Thats pretty sweet. I have a rifle that was lifting the bolt right before the break as well. I am going to take my time and have a go at it. Thanks for posting!
I have been looking at buying a m91/30 $130.00 or a m44 for $319.00 both look in great condition . Ammo is very plentiful and cheap as compared to a 30.06 . The same is true for 7.62 x 39 ammo very cheap (32¢ - 39¢ a round). Thanks for the videos I always learn a lot. I am pretty confident I could do this .
Omg thanks man mine wouldn’t even fire when i first got it .. many times it took two or 3 pulls to get it to fire ! Thanks Eric ! Btw now I have about a 2-1/2 lbs trigger pull and it’s awesome
Keep making the videos please! Very helpful and informative. If you could do one one fixing the interruptor , or lack of the cartridges feeding properly would be great. Thanks again!
Wow, that video shows it right! Trigger pull went from pegging out my scale at 10+ pounds to just a hair under 4 pounds. Didn't take 15 minutes to do it, either. It passes the bounce test so I'm not going to take any more off till I take it to the range to see the difference.
Thx for the video IV8888. I got my 91/30 from a gritty 9lb to a smooth 5lb, with a bit more work I'd like to get another pound off of it. I'd like to see soon the 2 stage DIY trigger video.
Thanks for this vid. I must have ten mosin's in one because nothing meshes. Wish you would do the advanced trigger tips. Thanks again for the time you spend doing these.
Amazing video! Now I need to get another Mosin to work down.... The one in the safe is sporting a Timney and a reproduction PU scope. I would like to get another and do a nice trigger and shorten it.
This was an excellent how to. I might actually have to do this now since I notice the cocking piece does move on mine. I already have an aftermarket return spring which helps some.
This has to be the most professional and informative firearm related video that I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Absolutely outstanding, easy to follow and right on the money. I did this on my 1915 M91 and the results are beyond great. Eric, thank you very much.
I think i took too much off, sometimes my mosin goes full auto now
um... that's impossible?
demonofrazgriz333 Lol
Please tell me you didn't remove the shoulder thing that goes up
Mine burst fires now. Three shots each trigger pill
Haha!
Don't know why I didn't think about doing this till just last weekend.

greetings from Moscow.I also bought a carbine Mosin,useful video for me.Thank you.
Eric... its almost 3 years later now... where is the advanced trigger job video?
brandon mash missing nag
7 now
I wanted to watch the 'next' one as soon as I finished reading comments and find out it doesn't exist. I'm still going to look for it, lol.

Now I have 11.
Daum.

I love how gun guys explain a trigger. We look like we're wine tasting. Great video.

ERIC ,WHERE IS THE ADVANCED MOSIN TRIGGER JOB????????
This lad is lost his brain perhaps. Gunsmith 😂😂😂 my arse
I have never been near a mossin, cant own or shoot firearms where I live, made it to the end of the vid and enjoyed it, am sure am not the only one.
Eric thanks for the video. I did just what you said to my mosin and yes I did take off to much and had to adjust the stop. however it turned out great. keep up the good work.
I just did this to my Mosin and Wow is the only way to describe how much better it feels! Thanks
Great vid Eric. I just picked up a M38 and removed cosomoline, checked firing pin protrusion and headspace with extractor removed. All from watching your vids. So please keep doing them. I love the mil surplus rifles. And your vids are a huge help. Look forward to the advance trigger job vid. Keep up the good work.
Did this to a Chinese Mosin & a 91/30 today. Big improvement! Thanks for the video!
I just did this to my M44 trigger and also polished the inside of the trigger box and added a slack spring from C & R Surplus Spring. It now breaks around 3.5-4lbs. Really nice.
I am impressed with how much Eric knows about guns. He really deserves his job.
Thanks for posting Eric, I did the mods to my Mosin and now have a much more crisper trigger pull. I did the drop test a couple times to be sure it was safe, it passed. Thanks again for helping me make my weapon better.
The DIY videos are BY FAR my favourites. Thanks for sharing the information!
Just got done with this mod to my 91/30 stuffed in a CBRPS bullpup stock, turned out awesome. Before the job the gun had a what felt like a 10lbs pull and with the hoaky linkage of the bullpup felt like it was doubled. Ground down the seer and polished everything up and without linkage it feels like a 4lbs pull and maybe 6lbs with linkage. Tried the shimming of the leaf spring doesn't work near as well as grinding the seer highly recomend this. Thanks
Nice job, Eric and really clear. They Mosin/Nagant you either hate these guns or you love them and I love their simplicity for the battlefield and now hunting.
Dude, THANK YOU for this video. I just did this with an Ace Hardware 2-sided honing stone & a piece of 400 grit sand paper & I have a crisp, decent, & surprising trigger after an hour or so of work. Probably at like 4-6 lbs. Awesome!
I was new to shooting, saw your videos on the Mosin, I now have 3 beautiful rifles, I love the videos you have done and are doing on this great rifle, I have learned so much about all firearms from you and Barry, the whole team does a wonderful job, thank you.
Nice video Eric. I was sent here through my SDI Gunsmithing course which I am enjoying very much.
Great video Eric. Following this video I was able to reduce the inconsistent trigger on my '43 from 8-10 pounds to a very consistent 6.5 pound trigger and nowhere near as squishy. Very happy with that result. My workshop isn't as well equipped as yours but I was still able to do the job with the grinding, sanding, and polishing wheels on a Dremel.
Thanks! Working on two Mosin's for my buddy and me. Cleaning cosmoline and refinishing the stock with new shellac. I added a spring to the trigger where the trigger pin is.

+Dillon Uebel Sad part is it really does happen lmao
Thanks Eric. I got to say, the How To Episodes have always been your forte.
Time to ditch that spacer I put in between the trigger leaf and the receiver and actually do it the right way. Thanks again!
i polished my bolt and trigger up last year, it really helped her out, it was very easy.
Great video series on trigger jobs. I followed your instructions and got fantastic results on both of my Mosin Nagant rifles. My M44 carbine was absolutely terrible before i did the work on it. Went from a creepy 9 lb. trigger, to a smooth 2.5 lb. trigger. Keep the "how to" videos coming!

Nothing is too long when its about this. Two stage trigger video? I have done this work and no polishing yet but already much much better trigger, but am anxious for YOUR two stage video. Thank you guys.
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do a trigger job on these Mosins. Mine may need some improvement.
I bought one on Sunday, am waiting to pick it up, and have looked at just about every vid on youtube. Field strip is the same as all the 10/22's. I'm just going to wait for the owner's manual. Congrats to us both!
Did this to my "33, what a difference it made, along with adding the trigger spring. It's now a smooth as my Savage 110.
I just shimmed mine, takes like two minutes plus a little fine tuning. I tried a soda can tab first, was too thick. I settled on a business card, it still doesn't break as light as I would like it to, but I couldn't get it any lighter without it being unsafe. I might make a metal shim later, but for now this works.
Going to install one of those C&R slack springs as well.
Probably around 3 to 4lb pull.
Another great video. I just purchased and cleaned up a mosin a couple weeks ago. I look forward to implementing your suggestions.
this worked fantastic on my mosin 9130...the trigger is so easy and
smooth now THANKS for this great video!
Why I did not find this video before is very sad. Plan to play with the trigger soon, you do a great job of explaining the procedure with simple every day language.
I love watching these videos before I go to bed.
great information, I have 3 mosins, the 91/30, an M44, and I just picked up an M53. I will be trying this out on one of them and can't wait for more videos like this.
I finally got around to doing this and I want to say thanks. The pull was over 8 pounds and now it's at about 3 pounds without any slam/drop firing. The trick is getting sharp edges and taking just a little off at a time. File, test, file, test....
Many guys, your video quality gets better every time!! Thanks for the vid, helped me with my Mosin!
Not a long video. A thorough video. THANKS!
man this is all i wanted in a youtube series, carry on guys.
Thank you so much for this. I happened to have one of those 10-12 pound triggers. Its probably sitting around 4 pounds now. I dont have access to a belt sander so I used a small aluminum oxide sharpening stone and some fine grit sandpaper. My next step is glass bedding.
Polished up mine with a finger file and it came out damn nice, thanks for the how to!!!!! the trigger isn't all gritty before firing, does need a polish thought!
i have put alot of work into my mosin and this is the best instruction vid yet please post a more in depth video sooonnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liking the video quality and post-production that has been going into your vids lately.
Been watching you for about a year, you do a really good job Eric, keep it up, its ALL helpful for lots of us I'm sure.
I love all of this stuff, can't wait to get a mosin, they seem to be really nice pieces of history.
Thanks again for been a veteran, thanks for this video is the best very straightforward , please continue the good job god bless American & our soldiers.
This is why I joined the channel good how to with gun smithing these videos help me a lot along my way thanks guys
The quality of your how to videos is great. Keep up the good work.
I have to say Eric, I did the trigger job and it came out great! I'm pulling about 4.5 pounds and It cut my group size down by approx. 1/2! Not only is it lighter, but it's also much more fun to shoot. Thanks a lot for putting all the time in the video I really appreciate it.
Can you do one for M48 mausers???
Thank you for another great how to video. I love both yours and Barry's videos on how to fix and make stuff on your own. I can't wait to see the advanced trigger job for the Mosin. I have always wanted one and now I want one even more because of your torture and how videos. Thanks again and keep on making all of your videos. You guys are great.
Thank you for this vid Eric.
Nice pace and not too advanced for us newbys to this stuff.

You can buy these as a kit for like $5 online just to make sure you get the right items or you can get them for less than a dollar at the good ol' Depot. You can find the information just by googling Mosin trigger spring kit.
Thanks man. used a drimel kit and polished the shit out of it afterwards, never thought id get it this smooooth and light
Excellent video. Looking forward to seeing the Part 2!
Thanks for the trigger job!! Looking forward to the 2 stage trigger vid.
Eric has the best job in the world
First of all let me start by saying that I love all of your videos. I watch each one as soon as I get the notification that you have uploaded it. With that being said I'm still waiting for the Mosin set and over travel adjustment videos. Any idea when if ever you guys will get that video out to us?
Great video! Thank you. I did mine slowly with a vice and file and it turned out great first try.
Thats pretty sweet. I have a rifle that was lifting the bolt right before the break as well. I am going to take my time and have a go at it. Thanks for posting!
I met a guy on an online gun forum. He gave my finnish mosin a trigger job. Now it breaks at 4.5 lbs. Very good shooting gun.
I have been looking at buying a m91/30 $130.00 or a m44 for $319.00 both look in great condition . Ammo is very plentiful and cheap as compared to a 30.06 . The same is true for 7.62 x 39 ammo very cheap (32¢ - 39¢ a round).
Thanks for the videos I always learn a lot. I am pretty confident I could do this .
Just did the trigger in my mosin. Way better. Thanks for the how to
You make it look easy enough for me to almost try it myself!
It is very easy. I'm no gunsmith and I did it. It is a completely different rifle to shoot now.
Omg thanks man mine wouldn’t even fire when i first got it .. many times it took two or 3 pulls to get it to fire ! Thanks Eric ! Btw now I have about a 2-1/2 lbs trigger pull and it’s awesome
I like how the music fades in and out, really cool video to watch.
Eric, thank you for all your videos. My mosin nagant is that much better with all your tutorials.
Great video. I enjoy your how to videos. Great video quality (very clear) and instructions are top notch. Thank you Eric and all the Moss pawn crew.
Keep making the videos please! Very helpful and informative. If you could do one one fixing the interruptor , or lack of the cartridges feeding properly would be great. Thanks again!
Wow, that video shows it right! Trigger pull went from pegging out my scale at 10+ pounds to just a hair under 4 pounds. Didn't take 15 minutes to do it, either. It passes the bounce test so I'm not going to take any more off till I take it to the range to see the difference.
With your video i got my trigger to about 3-5lbs im going to the gun shop tomorrow to get it tested for sure but wow what a difference
Thx for the video IV8888. I got my 91/30 from a gritty 9lb to a smooth 5lb, with a bit more work I'd like to get another pound off of it. I'd like to see soon the 2 stage DIY trigger video.
Thanks for this vid. I must have ten mosin's in one because nothing meshes. Wish you would do the advanced trigger tips. Thanks again for the time you spend doing these.
Great How To vid Eric. Looking foward to the next one!!
Excellent video Eric!! I just might send my M44 and M91/30 to you guys for some modifications like this. Sticky bolt and trigger job. You guys rule!
Amazing video! Now I need to get another Mosin to work down.... The one in the safe is sporting a Timney and a reproduction PU scope. I would like to get another and do a nice trigger and shorten it.
Might be one of your best videos
Can't wait to see the advanced trigger job.
Finally got a 1941 91/30 the other day. I appreciate the knowledge sharing.
This was an excellent how to. I might actually have to do this now since I notice the cocking piece does move on mine. I already have an aftermarket return spring which helps some.
