I have been working on triggers for my Ruger American rifles. Adjusting and polishing got them to a repeatable 3-1/4#. Not good enough. The aftermarket springs for 12 bucks and freight was too much for a $1.50 spring. I started trimming the OEM spring 1/2 coil at a time until it got to .585 length and consistent 2-1/2 pound pull. I would guess you could continue to trim another 1/2 coil at a time but 2-1/2# is what I was after.
