Has any tried these Marlin 795 mods?

[cvgunright]

I was reading a thread on the rimfire central forum and one gentleman had
modified his marlin 795 with these three easy mods for no $$$. I have done one and two but can't figure out number 3.

1) Free float the barrel- sandpaper the inside of the synthetic stock so you can fit a piece of paper between the stock and barrel

2) Add aluminum strips of tape to keep the receiver/action firm in the stock

3) replace the trigger spring with one from a ballpoint pen to lighten the trigger pull.


I can't figure out #3 unless the trigger spring is hidden in the trigger guard.

Again I love my 795 but if I can make it more accurate for no $$$ why not.

here's the rimfire thread

Post #10 is where the mods are explained...

I don't reccommend the ballpoint pen idea. You don't want to put something in a gun not meant for a gun. This david guy works on a model 60 which is the same action as the 795. I haven't done it yet but I hear it is simple enough and does work to reduce trigger pull.
