    Nosler M48 Handgun Trigger Adjustment

    Welp, I’m right back where I started, but I did learn a few things. Attaching some photos for reference. The owners manual shows a single return spring on the trigger linkage, whereas mine has a two-spring setup, so Nosler may be making modifications to their design over time. This is “stage...

    Nosler M48 Handgun Trigger Adjustment

    I experimented with the trigger spring, and it didn’t do much. After loosening it as far as possible, the pull weight was still ~3.5 lbs, which is where it was from the factory. I ordered some lighter springs today to see if a lower spring rate is impactful. If that doesn’t work, then I guess...

    Nosler M48 Handgun Trigger Adjustment

    Dang it, @Ernie. I was hoping you knew the answer. My hunch is that it’s the bottom screw because it’s accessible without removing the stock.

    Nosler M48 Handgun Trigger Adjustment

    Hey guys. I’ve got a M48 Independence, and I’d like to lighten the trigger pull, but the manual doesn’t provide instructions, and Nosler is reluctant to help if you try calling (for liability reasons, I’m sure). Is it similar to the attached Fig 5 of a Remington 700?

    Anyone been shooting

    You guys are fortunate. The nearest public range to me is 30 minutes, and the nearest private range is 1 hour+. I practically have no choice.

    Does this look right?

    I received a call from the manufacturer this morning, and they confirmed that it’s from the bluing salts, so kudos to everybody that suggested it. They also confirmed that it probably occurred in transit and did not leave the shop that way (in which case my first thought is: “then why not keep...

    Does this look right?

    Yes, I sent them the action. It’s a lightly used Savage, and the appearance of pitting near the port was there previously (from the factory). I haven’t heard back yet, so I’ll have to try calling again tomorrow. Covid waiting times…

    When is enough, enough.....

    Based on your list, I’d say you’ve acquired the key equipment. Bushing dies and micrometer seating dies can add up quickly if you have more than 1 or 2 cartridges. Aside from the obvious stuff (press, dies, etc), I’d say my best two investments have been the RCBS Chargemaster and Mitutoyo...

    Does this look right?

    It’s blued, so this sounds plausible. I’m waiting for a phone call from the company. We’ll see what they say. Thanks for the input. Just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t being too particular. I assume they are supposed to remove the salts prior to assembly.
