C sharps 1875 trigger work

I’ve got an early C Sharps 1875. Love the gun but the trigger is harder… a lot harder than I wish. It measures about 5 lbs when I tested it. C Sharps said theyd be happy to look it over and see what they could do for me but before I involve $200 in round trip shipping I was wondering if anyone else had this issue..

I think they now offer a set trigger for the 1875.  Might be something worth looking into as well.

I bought one in the early nineties and from what I can remember the trigger wasn't too bad. My problem was broken firing pins. Always kept a couple spares...

I do not believe they offer the set trigger anymore. And good to know about the firing pins. Wonder if I should make one out of Stainless…

Upnorth,
I have a CS 75 that had a heavy trigger, I worked it over and it's pretty fair now.  I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself unless you've done a few. I don't do them for anyone for obvious reasons, but there are folks that do, will Lee?   
The biggest issue that causes broken firing pins in these is forgetting to move the hammer to half-cock before lowering the breech block, done it, replaced a fp or two. (tough when you are used to a Ballard)   
In the last few years I've been making many of my firing pins out of titanium, especially the straight forward ones.  By the time you are finished machining them they are work hardened and they are quite tough, take a lot of abuse.  A pin for a HW/LW takes a little work but I'm on one now that was a constant breaker, it has about 18k firings with no issue.   
I never had much luck making the stainless most people think of work for me, 15-4/17-4 might work a little better if you harden it.
Just free thoughts, not worth much more than you paid for.
Greg

I sent mine back and had them put the set trigger in it.
Have them put in their new and improved transfer bar while there, or have them send you one. Mine ate those earlier transfer bars like candy.

Good to know. Mine is an early 3 digit, and is in nice shape but I believe someone tried to give this a trigger job before and made it worse ORRRR someone built it on a Friday.  The trigger has an awkward groove in it and the hammer looks like someone shaped it a little weird. 

It’s crisp but heavy as all get out. C Sharps was more than accommodated on the phone so that was nice.
