Ok so I don't know is anyone remembers but I was trying to build a target rifle out of my old Handi rifle .22lr. well the triggers on the are notorious for being poor and heavy not to mention problems with the transfer bar breaking issues. Well ends up you can alleviate all that with a rebounding hammer for a H&R 155.




It basically turns your gun into one of the old style actions that give you a half engaged to keep pressure off the firing pin and to let you reload and a full engaged to fire. No real safety mechanism other than well... Common sense. You know don't coke it till you about to shoot something . This also removes like 80% of all the guts.



And without all that it gives it a much lower trigger pull out the gate ! My stock Handi with all the "guts" and what not runs a bit over 5lbs of trigger pull, while my rebounds trigger one runs at a little over two !



Now you will have to modify you hammer spring or get a new one that bend out wider , I just too mine and bent it out some as well as pop in a cut roll pin for a spring stop as it doesn't come with one but all in all for less than $20 it's a major improvement imo ! Now this isn't something I'd reccomed doing to your kids rifle or someone who inst very competent in firearms safety though. It's not near as safe as a transfer bar but if your trying to make a little target going or something may be with a look !

It sounds like a step forward to me. I can't put up with a 5lb rifle trigger. Glad you figured that one out.

It was a pain for me to get those rifles back together. While back i stoned down some parts to get a 2.5 lb trigger on a 22 hornet.

Thanks ! Hoping I could possibly find someone willing to make them and a new spring . Could be a decent little bit if money for somone

That is great news

Thanks for sharing that information

Both of my kids started on them and I have always been disappointed with the trigger pull weights

I’ll have to see if the .243 single shot I have is a H&R or NEF but that joker has a hair trigger! Get the critter sighted in well before placing your finger near the trigger. I used to keep it in the truck for varmints and have used it many times while calling. It is truly one sweet shooting little gun. It would be great for kids except the hammer that needs cocked and uncocked if a shot isn’t taken.

The trigger on mine is 1.5 #. However my f-i-l has one that is over 8#

I will pass this along Thanks.

I have one that was terrible also, fixed it by polishing.

Its close to 2# now.
