Hard pull

[Dave_3]

I have a browning 725s. 4 years old. I have noticed (probably once in a 100 shots). That the trigger is noticeably harder to pull. It's always the second shot. Is this a sign it's time for a service?

It's a sign that it's a Browning 725. My husband has exactly the same problem with his one. They have some dodgy hybrid between an inertia and mechanical trigger that just doesn't work very well. 525's never have that problem.

I have the same problem, thinking of selling it, gets very frustrating. Also heard that 24g cartridges don't work properly as they don't have enough recoil to set the 2nd shot. Can't find out what the exact issue is but it is getting worse, even after being sent back to Browning for a full check and service.

Just thought I'd update you as your having the same issue as me. I went to a local gun smith today. He said that it's an easy fix. He wants to change the two man springs for stronger ones. He did explain what wrong with the existing ones but it's a long story. I'm away for two weeks and can't get the gun to him but once I've had it done I'll let you know if it works

Fingers crossed it does. We got a spring and hardened firing pin set sent over from the US and got those put in my husbands gun. Still does it.

Bother, that was an option I was considering.

Do you know if the spring was like for like?

It's a feature of the Miroku/Browning triggers. They all do it and no one can fix it.

Those who just whack the trigger don't notice it as much as those of us who tend to feel the trigger more gently.

Unfortunately JP Springs won’t ship to the UK any more . I wanted a couple of spare sets for my Mirokus
