HELP: Trigger binding up in new stock.

glockeyed · 10-06-2010, 05:05 PM

I need help as to where to look to try and fix this.

savage 12 4.4 centerfeed. everything fits, front action screw snug-tight, back action screw once it goes past "finger tight" the trigger locks up.

at first it only did it when i tried to assemble with the action and stock facing up.

trigger is binding in the stock
remove material where it is touching

trigger moves when bolt ISN'T in the action.

check to see if the bolt handle has full travel or binding on the stock

Trigger is binding on top side front edge of trigger guard trigger opening would be my guess.

What stock?

the new "bobby hart" LRT

right now i have it torqued to about 35in lbs. much more past that and the blade and trigger locked TIGHT. I haven't tried anything heavier, but it just shot a couple of 5rd .4 MOA with 69gn black hills. not sure if i should worry about it. :D
