How to set the set trigger?

Post by jimbob67 »

Hello, Just bought a wonderful 28" octagonal barrel from a buddy who had never fired it (sissy) in the 5 years he owned it.

He admitted to never having figured out the set trigger adjustment screw. I have played with it a little and can't figure it out either.

There is a place in the adjustment screw travel where it feels like it "wants" to pull the front trigger back and have it catch on something, but it never does catch--everything goes back the way it was when the rear trigger is released.

I have tried this a few times both with the hammer cocked and uncocked but didn't want to push my luck. I don't dry-fire it and he claims he hasn't either.

Could someone clear up how to adjust this?

Thanks,

JimBob

Thanks, Kirk!

A brief call and you told me to send it back and you'd make it right! I'd heard that you guys stood behind your rifles, and you sure do!

Thanks again,

Jim
