As far as the spring, when you go to True Value, just pick a spring what will fit OVER the 10-24 setscrew. You DO NOT want a spring so small in diameter that it screws onto the setscrew. Why?
Because if it does, the only part that will provide spring force will be the part of the spring that is 'free' above the setscrew.
By using a spring slightly larger in diameter than the screw, will allow the screw to hold it in place. Pick up a few springs and experiment. Even though they are a whopping $1 each, you can get 3 or 4 trigger jobs out of each spring.
There is a person selling a Savage 'like' dual diameter (lighter) spring for #20. This will reduce the pull weight, BUT will do NOTHING for overtravel.

What exactly does the #10-24 screw do to decrease the creep or over travel? It doesn't appear to touch anything, just hold the spring in the right spot.... Can you explain in detail please.
