Adjusting Trigger Plate lever procedure

Karl,

Don't try to bend the trigger lever; as Tom cautioned, it WILL break. I know from experience! Changing out the trigger lever, and/or sear lever and/or firing pin can sometimes help, but gets expensive. You can build up the little pad on the trigger lever that presses against the pin on the sear lever slightly with epoxy to reduce trigger travel.

You can also carefully remove a small amount of metal from the sear contacts of the firing pin & sear lever to reduce their contact surface. I have an old magazine article explaning how to do this. If you would like a copy, send me your email address at hhclark@wildblue.net
