I have a practically new Timney 510 in my equally new Remington 700.
The instructions that come with it suggest backing the screw on the front of the trigger assembly out to decrease trigger weight.
There are 2 screws in that location, and the instructions do not indicate which one to adjust.
Since one has a jam nut and the instructions do not mention the jam nut, I left that one alone and loosened the other, all the while convincing myself that the pull is lighter.
Today I got a Wheeler pull gage in the mail.
Setting aside how ultimately accurate the gage is, it does seem to repeat; different triggers measure different pulls, and 5 pulls of the same trigger yield the same results.
My AR-15 3 lb Timney trigger pulls 2.75 lbs and 2 different Geissele SSAs (rated at 4.5 lbs) measure 4.25.
The Timney 510 trigger measures almost 3 after backing the adjustment screw out a bunch when I got it.
So my questions are;
1. Am I adjusting the correct screw?
and
2. How far can I safely back the screw out?
