My CVA Hawken Trigger Woes!

[Icemanxxxv]

So I have had this gun for about 30 years. It used to have such a great dual set trigger Back story here. I sourced a new stock and .54 barrel Ever since the rebuild I just cant get the trigger right. I keep coming back to it from time to time with the same results no progress made. The trigger is just mushy with no wall and so light its un-usable for hunting. Its just plain mushy with no wall or break. The trigger is drop safe when set but releases at about 4 ounces with break with no wall just mush. The lock seems to be fine as it takes quite a bit of pressure to get it to fire. With the trigger in or out of the gun remains the same no matter how it is adjusted. I've gone as far as adjusting it till it won't set and operate to the other extreme to where it will set but won't release. There is just no sweet spot to get the travel out and a trigger over 4 ounces. Short of sourcing a new trigger I'm plumb out of ideas.

What is the distance from the single trigger pivot point to the sear bar?

I maybe a bit slow on the uptake here, so bear with me. Are we talking about the release trigger to lock sear bar? I'm a bit confused by what you are asking. Are we talking about how far the release trigger is from the lock sear bar? Sorry I'm a bit confused. I was playing with the trigger the other night. It appears to me that once the trigger is set. The catch portion of the release trigger is just barely hanging on to the trigger bar. The best I could do was 14 oz. Average over 5 pulls. I did this 3 or 4 times with the same results within .2 of an ounce.
