So I recently purchased this 870 and had a few things that I didn't like about it. The trigger being one of them. I couldn't help but notice that the trigger is already narrow but it was flat with sharp edges. I went to the range tonight and went through about 50 rounds and made my finger raw just as I figured it would.

So it was time to break out the file! I tried to get a good shot of the edges but you can't really see it that well. I also left the trigger in the housing for stability. Here are some photos of the progress.



A little tape to prevent scratches on the trigger guard






And the finished shape

Looks alot smoother...post a range review when you try it out !!

I'm looking forward to trying it out. Here's a still shot from a video at the range the other night. You can actually see the slug in the blast ha.

Great action shot...!!

Nice job, keep us updated on how it shoots now.

This must something new Remington is doing. I have a 870 from the early 2000's and don't seem to have this problem.

Yeah, I didn't think anything of it when I bought the gun but after about 30 rounds with the recoil, my finger started to get raw.
