Re: Are Jewell Rem 700 triggers unreliable?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Petey</div><div class="ubbcode-body">So, is there a way to make a Jewell more reliable? I'd like to know if anyone has had success making their trigger more robust by making an adjustment on the pull weight/sear engagement/overtravel screws? Having only had mine for a short while I don't know the mode of failure when they go down. </div></div>
The very first thing you'll notice when it gets dry, will be a increase in bolt lift, which if not corrected promptly will lock up the bolt. Lighter fluid residue power, they are using for lube works great, just don't do a comp/operation where you an your weapon are required to be under water for any time at all. Some comps don't have/allow time for maintenance. You can do what ever you want during your allotted shooting time though. I've found the best for me is two drops of Kroil oil, one each side of the firing pin bar, in the middle. I've ran the same comp 3 times now w/o issue.
Adjustments will not beef up the trigger.
Just like any other piece of gear, you can do everything right per the mfg, but still be so wrong, at the wrong time. Weapons that never see water per say, may never have a problem.
Using a device unlike the way you fight,... leaves Murphy standing there with open arms.
Love my Jewell's, but 100% reliable 100% of the time, only if they are mounted to a semi/safe queen, or never pushed into reality. I know one guy who has broken 3, an others who have never junked one, but they don't shoot the same kind of comps either.
