May be a dumb question, but are they using the lock nut on the set screw once it is adjusted? Timney has great customer service as well.

What was your reason for getting rid of the original trigger? With just a little work, they are great!

Re: timney trigger help needed
the gun came from an estate sale in CA w/out the original trigger. the widow told the guy selling the gun that she thinks he and his buddys probably pulled it off to put on another guys gun that they were always doing stuff like that. he had closets full of unfired, over fired, medium fired etc pieces. this one still had the original packaging, grease, tags etc. on it. we decided that since we got it so cheap and it needed a trigger anyways we'd add a good mod to it.

Anyone can make a bad product, sounds like the screw holding the pull weight adjustment might be stripped allowing the trigger pull to fluctuate. I would put a lock on it or take the bolt and hide it until Timney was called!
