Title: XS28M trigger
Post by: Wood Boats on June 17, 2013, 09:02:54 AM
My trigger has an extra screw after the tune.  If you have a few minutes Mike could you give me an explanation of the proper adjustment?

Loving the new rifle.  Thanks

So it has to come out of the stock for adjustment?

Mike told me it would be arriving with an extra screw in the trigger for added adjustment but it did not come with instructions.

Thanks Steve

You should be able to access both screws through the trigger guard.
If
You take it out of the stock be very careful not to let the safety. Fall off or get pulled off the back. It's a real pian to get back in

Getting to the screw is not the issue.  It is the small nut on the front screw that is going to present the problems.  The front screw looks to be turned in quite a bit while the rear screw not much at all. 

I think I have enough to get me started.  Thanks Steve

Worst case I have to send it back to Mike in a bucket.   :o    I am going to try to avoid that.  I am fairly handy around most firearms so am not anticipating any real problems.

The main thing to watch out for is overdoing it and creating a random misfire state. Mike usually has the adjustment pretty close to perfect once it leaves his shop, and it is easy to go too far. You can easily bend the barrel if it lets loose from overadjusting and trying to lighten the trigger too much.

Thanks for the warnings.  It is still early to be trying to fine adjust anything.  Right now I thought I would shorten the travel a bit but everything in baby steps.  My one piece scope mount is supposed to be here tomorrow along with half a dozen different brands and weight pellets.

I like the gun and think it will be a great shooter once I am up to doing my part.

The screw with the nut adjusts pull weight and the screw without is for the travel?

I really like this picture for getting well "a picture" in my head of how the two screws work together when functioning correctly or not very well if they aren't working together.
