Gunsmithing Stubborn trigger adjustment screw

[ivankonev]

I just bought a T/C Venture yesterday which has a trigger adjustment screw located on the bottom of the bolt track. It adjusts with a tiny allen wrench, and it is a bit hard to get at because of the confining space.

Problem is the screw is so tight it won't budge, neither clockwise nor counterclockwise. If I torque it any more, I'm afraid the flimsy little allen wrench will bend or snap.

I don't know if these trigger adjustment screws have been "loc-tited" at the factory or not.

How would you proceed? Would a drop of "Liquid Wrench" be advisable or what?

Try some heat. Don't know what Rem. uses on the 10x but you can hardly burn it off. I think GAP may have something to do with these. You might ask them.

I'd try heat, too. And no liquid wrench. If that gets into the trigger, it will be a dust and dirt magnet. Not a good idea.
