HOWA TRIGGER ADJUST

[Lewdan 17]

Finally got round to having a go at adjusting the trigger pull on my Howa 1500. Prior to adjustment the pull was 5.5 Lbs, after trial and error adjusting got it to 2.75 Lbs done all the tests to make sure it was ok, ie, bump test, and bolt slam test,also checked safety works as it should-- every thing seems ok hoping to get out this week to try in the field ( targets first ).

I only adjusted the pull weight which is the front screw on the trigger unit, i did not alter the trigger "creep" which is the rear screw..

exact same as mine were before the trigger work ,you wont believe the difference,how much creep has it got ,if you pulled the trigger on mine nice and steady it had 3 creeps before the final crack.i had some honing work done on it to take it out and it felt like a totaly different rifle,you can concentrate on the shot itself rather than wondering when it were going to break,good luck with it

Hi Mate, during dry fireing test ( with snap cap ) i have noticed that there is very slight trigger creep, in my case there seems to be one "creep" probably about 1mm then a nice trigger break, big improvement !!

Thanks for the comments.
