Okay, first, I understand the SKS was never designed to be a "tack-driver," but I always felt like mine could have a better trigger. Mine displayed a "negative" sear engagement (Which I guess is typical of the SKS), resulting in a very long creep of the trigger pull. Seriously, mine almost felt like a lighter double-action trigger pull. Before going to work on my sear, I measured the trigger pull and was very surprised to find it weighed 4 pounds, 11 oz. (I was expecting it to be much heavier). I changed the face of the sear, where it meets the hammer, for a "positive" engagement. The resulting trigger pull is heavier than what it was (Which I did expect) but it looks like I've eliminated virtually all of the creep and the trigger breaks clean with no perceptible over-travel. While I like the overall trigger pull much better, I have increased the pull weight to 9 pounds. I'm sure I can reduce this weight by reducing the angle I've put on the sear. I know that sounds like a heavy trigger pull (And it most certainly is) but getting rid of the creep and drag has made it a much cleaner trigger. I'll continue to tweek on it.
