    Smith Carbine Trigger Spring

    My Smith has a trigger pull that's too high and I understand that there used to be a coil spring available that could be adjusted to get the trigger pull right.
    Neither Lodgewood or S&S have them so does anyone know where to get one?

    Other than the coil spring, what is another way to adjust the trigger pull?

    Thanks in advance for your help.
