Accu-Trigger adjustment?

[Nor Cal Mikie]

Model 12. Just swapped the bolt head to 17 VHA. Close the bolt and it "uncocks". Never had issues before. Now what??
There looks to be a small plastic "dot" in the screw head next to the accu-trigger adjustment. This trigger has never needed adjusting. Pulling the "dot" may make it possable to make an ajustment??

Can the accu-trigger even be adjusted/

[Nor Cal Mikie]

IIRC, there's two adjustments. Never had to adjust this one so I'am not sure. Something needs to be done.

Under the "dot" (I removed it) is the socket of the set screw. Adjustment in and out makes no difference. Not sure but is there suppose to be something between the end of the adjustment screw and the upper part? Maybe sear? Looks like there might be an indentation for something?

[bronco2]

I dont think you can adjust them. i had a few and never looked like they could be adjusted

[drybean]

I thinken that's the is the safety adj.

[Nor Cal Mikie]

I'am thinken you're right.

I don't know why yours is doing what it's doing, but in response to the other comments: the whole point of the accutrigger is that it's easily user adjustable while still being safe.
My guess would be that the uncocking problem is related to the sear or firing pin and not the trigger, but I'm no expert. Could it be that the new bolt head isn't pushing the firing pin all the way back so it's not actually engaging?

Mine was doing the same thing after I installed a new barrel on it. Turned out the sear pivot pin got pushed over to one side all I had to do was push it back over and problem solved.

so the accu-trigger can be adjusted?

so the accu-trigger can be adjusted?

Absolutely. There is a special tool for it, but I hear you can do without it. You do have to remove the stock though, which is a bummer.

Looks like the "only" adjustment is at the sear and the weight of the trigger pull.
FYI, this action had a T&T job done and has a lighter firing pin spring. I'am thinking this may be the problem.
(the action "is" out of the stock as I was in the process of changing bolt head and barrel to 17 VHA)
Not sure why it's acting up now but, "things" happen.
I think I'll go after the firing pin spring tension and see what I come up with.

[bronco2]

great you are figuring it out. keep us up to date and if you find and fix the problem.. thanks

[Nor Cal Mikie]

Tried adjusting the firing pin spring. Didn't change a thing. Back to square one. Worst part is there isn't much there to go haywire so I'am at a loss. Might have to ship it out and let someone that knows what they're doing take a look at it. All I want is for it to work so I can move on.

[short round]

try adjusting trigger return spring, this is common problem if set to low.

[Nor Cal Mikie]

Already been there, tried that. Up, down, back and forth. Next step? Get it to someone that knows more than I do. (and that wouldn't take much)

Turned out NOT to be a trigger adjustment problem. (see new post for SSS)
