How do you like the trigger now after the mods?

How do you like the trigger now after the mods?

The trigger on the 2100 is just under 2 lbs. and the trigger on the 2200 is about 2 1/4 lbs.
Both have no creep and break nice and crisp.
I like the lighter 2100 trigger but next time I'm the guns I'll go lighter.
I think about 1 1/2 lbs. would be ideal for me.
That would be about 1/8 turn CCW (.003") on the adjustment screw.

Sounds pretty good. I've yet to do anything to the triggers on any of my variants. I have a couple 766's, an AM77, and a 2200 that might get some attention soon.

Another method to make the trigger pull adjustable is to drill and tap the back end of the tube
for an adjustment screw where the sear lands.
The tube is only .060" thick so there's not a lot of thread engagement.
