[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 636082, member: 10291"] There are basically three adjustments on this trigger. Weight, sear engagement, and overtavel. All controlled by the single screw/ nuts. The problem you have is likely that the trigger is set too light for the spring to maintain tension on the sear engagement. There is a limit to the weight that can be set with the stock spring that will allow proper sear engagement. I don't know if that is your problem, but you need to make sure that when the weight was adjusted on the trigger, that overtravel and sear engagement was checked and adjusted to properly function. This can change when the screws are adjusted for weight.. Most of my stock Model 70 triggers can not be adjusted to less than 2.5-3.5# and still have reliable functioning of the bolt. It can be tricky to properly adjust this trigger, you may want to have a smith look at it. [/QUOTE]
