How to Do an Adjustable Mosin Nagant Trigger Job

The Mosin Nagant is one of the world's most popular rifles. The rifle can easily be disassembled and a few modifications can be made. Most shooters complain about the heavy trigger pull. Since these guns are kept for nostalgic reasons, most owners do not like permanent modifications done to the rifle. There is a very simple way to adjust the trigger pull using aluminum foil, by placing small squares of foil between the spring and receiver.
