You might be able to put a set screw right into the trigger guard similar to the 2400KT to lessen the travel... might help? Would it be possible to use a small spacer block of some kind to raise the spring up to be in line with the back edge of the trigger? Just thinking out loud.
You mentioned that you would not be able to use the adjustment screws that are installed in the Magnum group... is there no room in the stock for them, or another reason?
That is just because there are not the usual already existing holes in the trigger housing. I think you would have a hard time drilling it to put them in yourself, too, since there is a rib on the back of the trigger housing there, it's not just a flat surface. See the attached photo.

See the attached photo.Should be able to start the needed holes carefully with a center drill and the housing clamped on a drill press table.

Putting two notches in the rib would get you down to the housing and make drilling for the holes easier. As far as the spring goes. A small metal block to raise it and a little JB weld to secure it might work? The spring rides against the metal housing in the bottom without binding, so it should not bind riding on a metal spacer. A little oil to the spring should help prevent it.I don't know? Dennis said I could return the trigger for a refund and I am going to send it back until more is learned.

Robert did you get a return code from Dennis or did he just say send it back? I have the baker trigger sitting on the work bench unopened.
I'm surprised... it states clearly on his website that this trigger will not work. I knew that going in, I just had to give it a shot.I'm not even going to trouble him... I'll make it work down the road sometime... that's just the tinkerer in me.
2 holes ain't gonna make it work... The brass trigger don't have the nub for the spring to ride on. That can be fixed too though. The trigger can be drilled and tapped and the nub added to it. Just depends on how far you want to go to make that trigger work.
