Title: double set triggers
Post by: RB-sunshine on September 01, 2013, 11:55:51 PM

Picked up a .50 cal flinter with a set trigger.   It is set to light.  What direction do you turn the set screw on the bottom to make a heavier set trigger pull?

RB,
Counter clockwise, you want to loosen it not tighten it.

It's a good idea to disassemble a new/used rifle when ya get it,  ;)

That way you can check for any possible damaged parts, clean old dried oil and re-oil moving parts
and see first hand how things work.

smokinbuck is right, counter clockwise
