| You done good! No cleaning tools were included from SIG. Yes, the stock trigger pull is heavy. This can be fixed by a good SIG smith like the SIG Armorer in Texas. Or, just shoot it SA.

| quote: Originally posted by McGregor: Also the trigger pull is 2.75lb. SA and 9.5lb. DA. Would this be normal for a gun this age?
Around 10 lbs is normal for DA, but 4.0-4.5 lbs is normal for SA. |

Would this indicate the mainspring is weak? Plan on replacing the recoil spring. Should I replace the main spring also? Have not tried shooting it yet so I don't know if I"ll get light strikes on the primers. The DA trigger pull is very smooth - makes my Allround feel rough. |

| Given the condition of the gun, I can't imagine anything that would have worn or weakened the main spring.
If you got the gun to as a collector's piece, then leave it as is.
If you got it to shoot, then shoot it and see how it runs. If you don't get light primer strikes, then I wouldn't worry about it. Old style main springs have long been out of production, so if you want to replace it, you'll have to replace the spring strut too.
I'm not a SIG armorer nor pretend to be an expert gunsmith, so take my advice for what it's worth. I bet if you ask Sig, they'd advise you to send it in their Custom Shop for their refresh package. |

| Sweet gun. Your trigger is lighter than most SA. Shoot it.

| Nicely done. You likely won't regret your purchase, whether you shoot it or keep it as a collector's piece. Congratulations!
