I have a H&R Trapdoor Springfield Officers Model . Great gun , love it to pieces but I have a problem with the trigger.
When she is all ready to kerpow...and I put the pressure on the trigger she gives a slight click or advance then seems to take up full again . Continued pressure will set er off.

The thing is more annoying then not as you feel the trigger pressure then it lets off . No matter how I try to ignore it it always throws me off.
Now I'm no gunsmith and the wife says I can follow simple instructions if I go slow ...is there anything I can do myself to fix this 'creep'.
I do not have close access to a gunsmith for repair.

Any suggestion??

thanks much..

I like your Handle
Go to the Trapdoor Collector site
The H & R is similar to the origional,and they have EVERYTHING that you may want to know about Trapdoors;old or new.
