Anschutz 54 trigger

I have a friend with an older mod54 Anschutz-about 1964-69 and we shoot both scope and aperture sight 50yard benchrest. He uses his Anschutz for the iron sight matches. Who or what can be done to adjust the trigger to 1oz-3oz level? Or will he need to buy another rifle to achieve this.
I know this is not a BR forum, but virtually nobody shoots Olympic style rifles in BR.

Go to precision rimfire in Facebook to really get your question answered. You can probably just replace the trigger if it cannot be adjusted down to the weight desired. IMHO. What model Anschutz is it?

There was a chap frequenting the rimfirecentral forum who modifies those older Anschutz triggers. I presume it's a single stage; those were set at the factory to 3lb or 500g. The two stage will go into the oz.

If he wants it as good as it gets buy my Kenyon that goes down to 2oz.

Butch: It depends on the trigger. The older triggers pull weight is set but two things - a spring and a cam. To get that low you'll need a different cam. They are just a little sheet metal piece that you can make with a bandsaw and a file.
