TexasDeerHunter Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 AJ, What are your thoughts on adjusting a Remington trigger? I have several and never needed any adjustments , but I just bought a new one and the trigger is a bit stiff. Remington strongly express's that all trigger work should be done by the Remington factory. They are a fully adjustable trigger and I see no issues with doing it myself. I have worked on alot of guns and exercise care and caution in doing so, I just dont recall ever having adjusted a Remington trigger and would like your opinion.

AJ Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Re: Trigger question for the all knowing AJ I have done many of them and will continue to do them. I usually adjust all of my triggers to get them to my liking. As long as: 1. You know what you are doing. What each screw does to the trigger/sear relationship. 2. You understand how the adjustments interact with each other 3. You perform a fully functional safety test with a dummy round because the geometry changes with a cartridge in the chamber pushing back on the bolt. 4. You accept responsibility for "what ifs" that may happen 5. Use something to lock the adjustments in place when you are done. 6. I highly recommend having a gunsmith check out the job after you are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted October 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Re: Trigger question for the all knowing AJ I appreciate the advice AJ. Remington has three screws and I know which one is which , is it neccessary to adjust all three or can I just slightly adjust the trigger adjust screw and leave the trigger stop and the trigger engagement alone? I do have access to a reputable gun smith and will likely have him look at it. What do you typically use to lock the screws? Remington calls their factory product a laquer but will lock-tite work?

[/ QUOTE ] See number 2 above. I adjust all of them to get the optimum and safe trigger pull. [ QUOTE ] What do you typically use to lock the screws?
