What is the easiest way to get the hex screws in? It was fairly easy to tighten the set screws because you can move the spring to gain enough room for the wrench. The screws however don't appear to have enough room just by moving the spring over.
Any suggestions? |

Quoted:
there is enough room, just pull the spring aside with a small flathead. Stick the setscrew on an allen wrench and poke it in. Lay the setscrew against the half-moon threads and start turning, it'll go right by the spring. How far down are these screws supposed to go? Are they supposed to keep the spring pinned against the side or supposed to sit on top of the "flush" screw. It's hard to tell if the screw is in straight because I don't know if it's catching the threading or how far its expected to go down. |
| The screws that are IN the trigger housing are supposed to bottom in the receiver and hold the housing firmly in place, and also prevent the trigger/hammer pins from falling out. The other set of set screws is supposed to bottom on the heads of the first set, so that they are locked in place and can't vibrate loose. The heads of the second set should be below the surface of the trigger housing and out of the way of the trigger spring. These screws have the same function as a jamb nut. |

That's what I thought, but I'm getting alot of resistance and didn't want to strip the threads on the hex screws, I think it's because its coming in contact with the spring that is pinned against the middle wall. As far as I can tell they are in straight but that spring is getting in the way and is binding it.
Did you lift the spring up and over with the flathead or just move it over..? Any chance the screws are too big, because it seems like they might be.

| I had the same problem with mine as far as getting the 2nd set of set screws to flush out. Lucky for me Timney is down the street so I took it to them. They tried a different set of screws and presto they went in nicely and now sit just below the housing so they don't interfere with the spring. You might try calling them and getting a new set. |
