Have any of you guys messed with Remington's new trigger? I just tore one down to adjust it and found it to be a piece of junk IMO........
What am I missing?
Isn't this the trigger which is being praised as the "New Generation" of upgraded triggers?
I found:
-Overtravel screw is integrated with the safety and (staked?) in place. LOOKS to be non-adjustable. I tried Xylene, isopropyl and acetone on the locking gunk, acetone cut it but allen screw would not break free.
-Tension screw works fine but the included spring is HEAVY, I traded out for a light spring but it had little effect on trigger pull.
-Sear engagement was huge and leverage was poor due to placement of trigger pin. I mean leverage is POOR, like "NO-lever", just sliding off of sear by direct drive. I didn't touch any engagement surfaces as I can't see it being a safe mod AND the surfaces are supposed to be hardened? Engagement was even and clean across surface. Sear engagement adjustment also seemed to be staked.
I didn't heat anything, I was out of time so I traded in a reworked 700 trigger (a real one) so's the guy can go hunting.
Are there any tricks to this thing? It's worse than some of Ruger's Post-Lawsuit triggers.
