What does a sear spring do?
Is that the spring that puts tension on the trigger?

The sear spring puts pressure on the sear to engage with the notch on the hammer or striker or trigger depending on the system. Some systems don’t have a sear, for example a 94 Winchester just has a hammer and trigger with their respective spring the hammer mainspring pushes the hammer forward the trigger spring pushes the bottom of the trigger forward and the top towards the bottom of the hammer where it engages the notch in the hammer when it is pulled back. There is a disconnector of sorts that prevents the trigger from being pulled unless the lever is fully closed (in battery) that’s the little button sticking down out of lower tang just behind the trigger bow.
In trap terminology the dog would be the sear the pan is the trigger and the jaw is the hammer.

To answer your question the trigger spring is the primary resistance of trigger pull but the sear, and hammer notch engagement or sear, striker engagement all contribute to total trigger pull.

It engages the sear into a notch on the trigger.

Only a lil bit.

DO NOT mess with it if trying to reduce trigger pull.

I've a mauser. When it came back from modifying for scope the trigger doesn't come back from being pulled. I assume it has a spring that does that.
Suggestions except taking it back to that guy.(mad)

a spring should sit in a pocket,

and a LIGHT stroke with fine india stone on mating surfaces can smooth things a tad.

did you have him solder a 4-40 nut on the front, and add a spring/screw to take out that mile of trigger travel.?

He was just to prep it for a scope.
Now when you close the bolt it fires, unless you physicaly push the trigger back to its ready to fire position.
