[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1636108, member: 2736"] I will have to agree with bigngreen on the proper way to set a trigger. Start with the common sense approach and realize that the sear adjustment is a dimension. (How much mechanical engagement it has). the trigger pull has nothing to do with the sear engagement, only the amount of trigger force it takes to overcome the sear. I honed and polished triggers to make them safer and brake better before you could buy all of the aftermarket triggers and had to make the factory ones better. The angles are critical for continuous feel and clean braking as the to surfaces slide against each other. The more trigger pull, the more resistance the sear has to moving but the dimensions have not changed. Most triggers have three adjustments. The sear should only be adjusted by someone that understands how a trigger works and how unsafe it can be if the sear is adjusted wrong. Two much sear engagement causes the trigger to have creep, two little and the trigger becomes unsafe. My recommendation for most, is to never change the sear adjustment just set trigger pull and over travel to suet your needs. some like more over travel than others and some like different trigger pull weights. To a point trigger pull weights and over travel can be safely adjusted as long as there is enough sear engagement. just because there is an adjustment screw for the sear doesn't mean you should use it. it is there for the manufacture to use to set it properly and most fully adjustable triggers will come with a warning not to adjust the sear. One other thing, I am not the site sensor but would warn against profanity. Keep it civil and you will get a lot more respect. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
