Gunsmithing How to Adjust FNH Tactical Sport Trigger

[knoxp11]

Has anyone adjusted the FNH TSR XP trigger? They call it the Tactical sport trigger 3-lever adjustable trigger. I have broken the gun down and have the bolt release removed, but the role pin seems to be really right. I also noticed what appears to be a tinted epoxy covering what appears to be a screw hole on the front of the trigger group assembly, could this be it?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

If you are unsure how the trigger operates, please take it to a reputable gunsmith and have it adjusted. You don't want to have an AD.

If you are mechanically inclined you can figgure out how it works, BUT, are you sure the adjustments you made will hold/not change after a few hundred rounds?

ALWAYS BE SAFE RATHER THAN SORRY..

Not trying to be an ass, I've been working on guns for 10+ years and seen way to many the owner adjusted himself and screwed up. A trigger adjustment from a decent smith is a $25-40 job and worth every penny.

Hey thanks for the advice. I don't want to do anything to stupid, thus why I am asking here before getting to far ahead of myself. If this trigger is much more difficult than the X-Mark, or other factory adjustable triggers then I wont go forward, but if it is the screw located under the hot glue then I think the term "adjustable" will still be in my skill level. I hate to pay 40 bucks for something I can do within reason.

Thanks again for the heads up. Any help will still be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure the screw under the hot glue is an adjustment of some sort.
Question is, is it overtravel, sear engagement, pull weight..... you don't know and there are other factors that turning it will affect, each one affects the other.
There is a balance that must be kept between engagement, pull weight and overtravel to make a good trigger.
Someone with mechanical knowledge can adjust a trigger with a screwdriver(such as a pre-x Remington). Getting that balance can be done, with some patience. Doing it and it holding the adjustment, continue to be reliable and safe for the long haul is the key.
