Wanting to add a lever gun to my small collection, I recently opted for a Marlin 336W (which some call a Walmart model). While the 336 is a great utility gun, I quickly learned they have a horrible trigger. The creep was so bad on mine that it actually felt like a two-stage trigger with a second stopping point after an initial squeeze.

A quick search of the net uncovered a "Trigger Happy Kit" made by Wild West Guns and sold by Midway USA for just under $100 if you include the shipping. Yes, that's a little pricey for a simple trigger lever, but about the same price for a trigger job from a professional gunsmith.

I installed it last night and wow, what a difference. Just as the claims I read earlier on the net, it cut the pull in half (about three pounds) and breaks like the trigger on a gun that costs several times more. It was a little tricky to install (removing the hammer was a little difficult), but anyone with a small amount of mechanical ability can do it. Just take your time, keep everything in the screw holes lined up, and you should be fine.

Here's a link to step by step instructions that I followed to install my Trigger Happy...

I have never used that kit, but I can speak highly of Wild West Guns products. They are based in Las Vegas and Alaska I believe. They make/sell some cool lever gun stuff.

My 1895 G trigger is amazing. No creep, very crisp, and not heavy. It makes shooting off hand with irons very easy.

That's part of the reason why I went with a lever gun. I was looking for something that's quick and easy to handle. IMO, a gun with iron sights is more universal in use, allowing you to dispatch anything from five to fifty yards away, or even more if the shooter is up to it. And a 150 grain 30/30 bullet is plenty lethal on anything from a pesky coyote, to a nuisance pig.

The Wild West Trigger is a nice trigger and relatively easy to easy, a definite upgrade if you own a 336.

Thanks for the info
