canjar trigger

Good evening. Can anyone help with info on readjusting a canjar 52clp trigger? I have one, that was bought on ebay, " yeah, it slipped through",and is out of adjustment. It appears that someone has messed with the 2 trunnions, that the trigger pivots on. Both are loose and can be turned simply by touching them. From what I've learned, Canjar set these at the factory with among other things, precision optical equipment. Any info would be helpful. Thanks
 
Turn them in

Turn these screws in equally so the trigger in centered in the housing. Don't snug them. Put a drop of located or fingernail polish on the screws and allow to dry. Do not let this fluid run into the interior portion of the trigger. Weight of pull screw is on the bottom of the housing, and the over travel screw in in the front of the housing and the sear adjustment is in the rear. I'll try and find my instruction sheet from Canjar and email it to you.
 
Fred, if you find the Canjar instructions, could you also email them to me, i have a couple Canjar triggers, and cannot find my instructions, thanks George. tucke@cableone.net.
 
Thanks Fred

I appreciate the info. I actually have the instruction sheet, but I thank you for the offer of sending a copy. The article that talks about the Canjar LP triggers is one from Rifle magazine, I think. They mentioned so much about the extent gone to in initial set up, I thought I'd be saving myself time and effort doing it right in the first place. I have another 52CLP that I recently put on a heavy barrel C barreled action. Though I have only test fired it in a temporary stock, it's feel is a lot smoother than the one out of tune. I had done essentially as you recommended, except the loctite, before I Started the thread. I've only tried function with that one, off of a receiver. Perhaps my efforts will be better rewarded if it's on a rifle as I adjust it? Do you have an opinion,as to how the Canjar compares to a 52 micromotion after it was worked on by Karl Kenyon? I had two stock 52 triggers wrapped, ready to send him around the time he moved. I called when I had the money together, to let him know that they would be on the way, found out then of his retirement. He has certainly earned the time to relax and enjoy...those 2 triggers are still wrapped up. Thanks again Fred for the help. Charles
 
Canjar vs Mircro-motion

I like the Canjar much better, as long as they are working correctly. As the parts wear down, they become increasingly more difficult to keep adjusted, safely. Parts are no long available for them. Do you still have the article?
 
Canjar article

Fred, thanks for your view on the two. I had come across this article on the internet, in the form of a PDF, I am real new to all this, so please pardon, and feel free to correct if I misstate. I saved the pdf but don't know how to send it to you. So I just tried googling the pertinent info and the same article came up. It's from Rifle mag and the author is Stuart Otteson. I entered Stuart Otteson under "exact wording", and Canjar and Rifle under "all these words". Presto - I can't remember the context that I found this, it was probably in this similar type forum. About two years ago I contacted Canjar, after lots and lots of calling, and I reached Mary. Explained that I was looking for a 52 trigger. She explained that some triggers and parts were being turned out, but that the 52 was the most difficult of the LPs to manufacture and that they wouldn't be available. Since then I have been able to find the two I mentioned. It's a pleasure to chat. Charles
 
article

I don't know if this will help or not but I believe the article is in Rifle 78, Nov/Dec 1981.
This was also published in Custom Benchrest Actions by Otteson.

Charles: Can you attach it to an email? If so send it to me. All I get is a bunch of junk when I do searches.
