Was googling triggers and ran across this "Trigger adjuster screw"... anyone familiar with these or using it on their trigger...

If your talking about trigger creep, you can fix it with a 50 cent set screw. 1/4 x 28 TPI x 1/4 " long.

A guy by the name of polokexpress has a video on youtub that shows you how...
 
It's a 1/4-28x1/4 cap screw that is inserted into the hole for the grip screw. It is screwed in until the slack in the trigger is taken up and then backed off 1/8 to 1/4 turn. This is done with the action cocked and the selector on safe. This removes most of the creep on the factory.

This is also used on Jard triggers for the same function.
 
I picked up a pkg of 2 of those set screws for 90 cents at my local Home Depot in the hardware isle trays....just thought id throw that out there if u were looking for a place that had them.
 
I did the same adjustment screw thing on mine and found that my MOE grip screw was just a little long and would not tighten down with the set screw in place. Quick fix was a washer on the grip screw, done. Trigger works really well now. Congrads for whomever came up with this.
 
Yup, I've watched that video several times.

I'd post the link, but I'm not sure of the rules about that here.:o

That's why I didn't post a link, and only posted his youtube name... Not sure of the rules. Good video though..
 
Yea looks like a great fix for getting rid of the trigger slack... great little fix I thought... just had to check it out with everyone here first... thanks agin to all...
 
Just so I understand correctly, using the set screw modification reduces overtravel (travel of trigger after the hammer drops) and not creep. From what I understand, creep is the trigger movement while the sear is engaged but before the hammer drops. Is this correct?

The guy on the video dry-fires his 15-22 like crazy. Not sure I would do that. I would remove the lower receiver and do a controlled hammer drop while adjusting the screw.

I thought the same thing..
 
The S&W manual notwithstanding, dry-firing your 15-22 will not damage anything, much less the face o0f the firing pin of the breech face. Full extended, the firing pin is several thousands too short to hit anything but a cartridge rim.

Removing the upper and letting the hammer hit the lower is a whole 'nother matter. :)

You are correct about the definition of creep. This mod does not have anything directly to do with over travel, although that may be affected. What it does is reduce the sear engagement depth, thereby reducing movement of the trigger prior to sear release and so reducing creep.

Please note that when this mode is done, care should be taken to insure that there is still a solid engagement between the hooks of the trigger and sear.

Hi guys, I have checked the video on youtube, but I have a question about which type of bolt to be used ? With reference to the attached pictures n° 1, 2 or 3?
Thx

It goes inside the same threaded hole that the grip bolt is going to also use...so it can't have a head on it.

Same design as the tension screw in an AR lower, for those with that feature.
