On a Timney trigger for a Model 700 there are two set screws on the front of the trigger....which one adjusts the trigger pull?

Is it the one with (bottom) or without the lock nut (top)?

Re: Timney pull weight adjustment

From Timney's instructions:

"The screw on the rear of the trigger adjusts sear engagement. This screw is pre-set and should not be adjusted below this setting. The front screw adjusts pull weight. Turning this screw in increases pull weight. Turning it out decreases pull weight. Do not reduce pull weight below 1.5 pounds"

^^ Like he said its the one with the nut on it. It does not take much turning of the screw to adjust it. Its really simple and easy to do. You might have to fiddle with the bolt release lever where it meets the bolt blocking unit.
