While searching for a slightly larger (than my 642 J frame) I came across a 3" Interarms Rossi "Champion II Model 68. Everything I could research says it's a decently made gun, pretty much a clone of the model 36, and was purchased at a very good price.
It came today but now I have to wait for it to "clear" though WA state's approval process. (Don't ask.)
The gun was tight and looked lightly fired. It was a good deal. The SA trigger was crisp and about 4+- pounds, the DA trigger seemed stiff and probably 12ish.
I'd like to get the DA smoother and about 3 pounds lighter.
My questions are: For a revolver, what does it entail? Is this a gunsmith job or something I can attempt myself (futzing around with sears and stones and stuff isn't something I'm familiar with so I am a bit reluctant that I might really screw it up)? Is there someone folks might recommend for the job (or is it pretty straightforward and any reasonably competent gunsmith [and I have a decent one I regularly use] ok to do it? And what do revolver trigger jobs cost? (Any work I've had done on triggers on my pistols has either been by BCMC here; Langdon for my PX4, and Sig factory for my Sigs.)
My other Smith revolvers all came with pretty nice triggers both DA & SA, so I guess I traded a bit of money on the purchase price for the cost of some trigger work. And of course I could just shoot the snot out of it, let the trigger work itself in and spend the money on ammo, which I'd do anyway.
(The Washington state process isn't all that bad, it just takes a week or so and I hate waiting.)
