Default K frame trigger and hammer installation?

Today, while cleaning my workshop of 9 years accumulated junk, I rediscovered the K frame Single Action kit that I had purchased about 10 years or so ago. When it was purchased, it had been my intent to have my long time gunsmith make the installation. However, the accident that left me disabled and my 'smith's passing had disrupted my plans.

I still wish to install the Single Action kit on my bullseye revolver, but there aren't any 'smiths in my area that I would trust to do the installation. With respect to assembly and disassembly on my target rifles, I am rather comfortable and they still work after my tinkering.

My question is, how difficult is it for a user to install a K frame trigger and hammer without sewing up the internals?

Thanks for your advice!

I have been lucky with every hammer and trigger I have ever replaced, they have all worked with no problems and no fitting needed. Give it a try.

It's really not that difficult. What year of K frame? Most are the same but some parts changed in some of the older pre-war guns. There is a lot of info on the internet and some of it is good! If you want to try it and still don't feel comfortable you can contact me and maybe I can walk you through it over the phone. You can email me at [email protected]

actually getting the side plate off it the most complicated part. That and getting the hammer in and out. I have been in my model 67 several times. I just changed the springs and brought the trigger pull down from around 11 lbs to less than 8.
