Ruger GP-100 Trigger-Assembly Removal

[Voltaire]

I have a Wolff spring-kit for my GP-100 that contains several hammer-return and trigger springs. I'd like to lighten the revolver's trigger pull by installing one of the lighter trigger-springs, but I can't figure out how to access the innards of the trigger assembly. I bought the weapon used, and I don't have the owner's manual to guide me through the process. Can anyone help? Thanks.

After lurking awhile, I guess I'll jump in.

This is not the exact answer to the question, but:

This from the Ruger website,

FREE instruction manuals for all Ruger firearms are available free upon request. Please write: Sturm, Ruger & Company; Lacey Place; Southport, CT 06490. Please specify model for which you require a manual.

I have been having the same question because I am about to do the same thing with a Taurus.

After some research, I decided to get a copy of Gunsmithing : Pistols & Revolvers by Patrick Sweeney. Seems reasonable for $20 compared to the amount of learning I stand to get. If anyone has an opinion about this, please.

If this doesn't get moved to The Smithy forum, You may want to ask there. It seems here is a massive amount of wisdom there.

mowgli's right, you might get a better answer from our resident Smithy(s). Moving this over there....
