has anyone messed with their trigger group on an 870 youth to get a lighter trigger? or does anyone know of a lighter spring that you can buy aftermarket?
I put the patriot sear spring in my 870 20 ga and it definitely made a noticeable difference on my gun.

good deal :icon_thumright: i figured there was things out there like that to help with that awfully heavy remington trigger
I put a MCarbo spring in mine.
I thought this was a little pricey when I first ordered it, but after the install I was more than happy with the investment. I went with a the Timney Trigger Fix for Remington 870. The kit includes three different springs to allow you to select the pull weight that most closely matches what you are looking for. I have a dedicated 870 that either wears a 21 inch smooth bore barrel for turkey hunting or a fully rifled barrel for slug hunting when visiting IL. In both of these configurations I'm shooting at stationary targets and wanted to emulate a rifle trigger to the extent practical. This kit delivered... the trigger is now as good as any of the stock triggers on my production rifles. I also ordered a Remington shotgun trigger assembly/dis-assembly tool from Brownells to help with the install.
I just shoot the regular trigger with mine and have no problem with it...i could see were people may want a different trigger...

I've done two of these Timney triggers now and like them very much. The trigger pull is adjustable and I set mine to 4 lbs. The sears are better than the stock sears on my two guns giving a major reduction in creep, and the Timney triggers had noticeably less, but not zero, take-up. They are, as ODT said, as good as most stock rifle triggers. That said, the replacement springs are much cheaper than the Timney triggers and might be all you need.
I clipped 2 coils off the factory spring
Patriot sear springsmgo in all my remmys.
