    Flat back 100 trigger pull weight adjustment screw missing. Ideas?


    It's a flat back 110, not a 100. I am not so sure I want to put another one in it. Screw was missing when I got if. Rifle won't cock upside down so that sounds like an unsafe condition to me. The only reason why is the weight adjustment spring pits no pressure on the trigger until it is already cocked. That is just enough sag to prevent cocking upside down. If you can hold the spring straight it will work.

    I am not inclined to spend $10 to have a little nub of a screw shipped to me. Ideas to fix it?

    also- what kind of trigger is this?

    nvm I can't post attachments yet

    Does it look like this?

    If so, it cant function without the adjustment screw. If you don't want to buy one, you have to make one. To make one you have to buy a a set screw to fit the threads and of the correct length. Anneal it so your HSS drill bit can drill out the center, drill out the center while clamped in a vice with soft jaws then using a Dremmel, cut 2 screw driver slots in the top side so it looks like a plus sign(+). This is for the wire spring to go in so the screw does not back out. this will allow quarter turn adjustments to the screw.

    If you don't want to buy one and you don't want to make one, you could always just put the gun in the safe.

    It's very similar. Trigger itself, a little bit different. Does me no good in the safe, guess I'll be paying $10 for that little thing, lol.

    I have seen hollow set screws online, I was hoping someone might could point me in a different direction than that. Like tell me what size hollow setscrew I could pick up at the store vs. paying $10 and waiting indefinitely. Going oit of town Monday and I won't be back for some 6-7 weeks.

    BTW Brian. The spring in the picture is not in the correct position.

    Thanks brother. I am tracking, I understand the bend tip of the spring spring slides into the hollow portion of the screw, it doesn't just hang in the slot. Thanks :)

    I went ahead and ordered the part. It was around $3 plus $8 something shipping and handling. Then I went and cracked the plastic trigger guard torquing the action screws. It sits in a Manners. Now I gotta get a steel one!
