Who would you recommend to do a trigger job on a sterlingworth? The triggers on mine are very heavy. Is this normal?
What should I expect to pay? Called briley and they said it would run $150, has any one used them for trigger work? I know that they have a good rep for chokes ect.

Re: Trigger Job
"Very heavy" is somewhat subjective. Have you measured the pulls with a trigger pull gauge? Typical Fox factory pulls should be in the 4-7 pound range with very little if any takeup - like snapping a glass rod.
I know you asked for sources and pricing but let me offer some comments. Usually trigger jobs are unnecessary unless someone has previously goofed with the factory sear/hammer setup. Check first to see if the trigger pivots and sear axle holes are free of rust/corrosion or old congealed grease. To do this you'll have to remove the trigger plate - instructions are on our home page - and be sure to have the correct screwdrivers or bits. Some bore cleaner followed by blowing out with compressed air, then lubrication with a light oil, usually works wonders.
I strongly advise against trying to do this by squirting liquids in the frame without taking it apart. The stuff will migrate and be absorbed by the wood. Silvers

Thanks, I think that I will try that first. I also just saw the post on this subject lower on the page so forgive me for posting the same question.
Re: Trigger Job
Opened the gun up and cleaned it real well. It was not bad at all. Put a little oil in it an reassimbled. The triggers are still heavy, Aprox. 11 and 13 pounds! I will be sending it to someone.
