| reported here some time back on results with the 15 minute trigger job. Very smooth, 3.5 lb pull, no creep. well, thats still true with manual cycling. at the range it's a different story--lots of creep and not always feels the same. could this be caused by bouncing of the trigger under fire and could it be cured by some better buffer system? it's bad enough i'm reconsidering spending the money on an after market trigger. thanks, KT40 |

Rifle unloaded with no ammo in reach, Hold the trigger back, dry charge the weapon, now let go of the trigger and pull it. This should be the same trigger pull that you are getting at the range. If you are getting something different, then it's time to replace the hammer spring that you tweaked, Or God forbid, clipped one of the spring legs. Note: the spring legs are what keep the hammer centered in the receiver/ hitting the same trigger sear spot each time. If you clipped or off bent one of legs different than the other leg (read after the coil it's self), then the hammer is going to drift around on the trigger sear from shot to shot, and could be your problem. |
| Thanks Dano523, of course the "15 minute trigger job" does in fact cut one leg of the hammer spring. Oh well, I have a Brownells order ready to call in, I'll include one of the reduced spring sets. TTI International has one as well as JP Interprise, listed in the catalog. I have bad arthritis(sp) in my hands and the gun is range use only so may wind up going with an after market trigger to get the pull down to around 3 lb. Again thanks for the response. The "feel" at the range is different from manually cycling. |
