Stock Screws Torque Specs for TX200

[Fred J]

I know that I have asked this question before: How tight do you tighten your stock screws on your TX200?

I was setting them to these specs with a FAT wrench:

Front: 12.5 inch pounds (dab of Locktite on each screw)
Back trigger: 20 inch pounds (no Locktite)
Front trigger: 12 inch pounds (no Locktite)

I read somewhere that the trigger pull weight could be effected if I torqued the rear trigger screw too tight. I have notice that I get a few miss fires (second stage bump being a little vague), so I thought I would try torquing the rear trigger screw to 17.5 inch pound and the front trigger screw to 10 inch pounds. When I tried this, my second stage became way too light, so I re-adjusted the trigger, and now the second stage is a nice, predictable bump.

So I would be interested in hearing how tight other TX200 shooters set their stock screws. Thanks!

I think anyone who was ever  paid to use a screwdriver is aware of how tight the main screws should be tightened. The rear screw on REKORD triggers were very sensitive. AA has not mentioned that in the TX literature. AA does caution that if you remove The trigger guard the REAR SCREW MUST BE TOGHTENED before the front screw.

DO NOT over tighten the FRONT screw:

Good info there Frank!

I tightened the front screws to 10in-lb with Vibratite, and both of the rear screws to 15in-lb without any Loctite or vibratite as I didn't want any flakes getting in the sears.  I've made that mistake before
