Volquartzen is a great operation to deal with!

p.s. These was likely something up with that gun if it had a 7# factory trigger. I handle new ones in the shop every week. Most run around 4.5-5# ( with some moderate creep) out of the box.
Could just be the luck of the draw! I did take note that the new Volquartsen spring was straight, not slightly bent like the original, therefore producing less force on the Sear. That is more than likely the reason for such a light pull - but it passed the smack test while cocked and all functions correctly.
