Long story short
Was able to get the trigger pull down to just under 2lbs - no creep 'tested' the trigger bolt by slamming it shut - pulling the trigger while the safety was on to see if it would fire and it didn't - BUT when you put the safety on and cycle the bolt to load a cartridge as soon as you take the safety off "bang" without touching the trigger. To be safe I decided to re-install the factory spring did cut 1 1/2 coils as per Utube University probably have a four pound'ish trigger (I will live with it)

So, I was cleaning the bolt face and decided to push the extractor thingy went too far the two ball bearings shot out no where to be found for a short time I was playing CSI with my flashlight while examining the floor for any evident of the evasive balls - as one member posted. I ordered a package of 100 from Amazon - am sure could have bought a box of number four steel shot.

Should get them by mid week
