Great video sir, thanks for this. I ended up cutting 2 coils off the original spring then adjusting it to where the sear would reset after a partial trigger pull. Ended up a little below 3lbs.

I picked up the RAR LRT I’ve been playing with the trigger I’m also a gunsmith I’ve polished the sear and I took the factory spring out clipped if down two coils and then stretched the spring abit which has resulted in a 2lbs trigger that has passed multiple drop tests from over head I also removed the blade safety

Wow! This is the very first time I was actually able to “See” trigger sear engagement and appreciate why military/duty triggers are heavy. Thank you so very much! This series for the Ruger American Rimfire is, by me, very highly appreciated. I will stick with the OEM trigger return spring and just practice more instead of relying of lightening the pull in any way.

Polish the top of trigger sear engagement area and trigger will slide back using a lighter spring, I did this and am using a .021" diameter wire coil spring and was able to adjust down under two pounds, if you pull trigger back a little before it breaks then release it will slide back into place when there is less friction.

Thanks for the info. As long as you know what to check and are sure it operates with 100% reliability, you're good to go.

The friction inherent in the trigger pivot which is from the roughness of the castings that aren't polished, honed, or shimmed, is what's preventing the sear engagement. I agree, having a trigger that light is not advisable IN THIS CRUDE TRIGGER ASSEMBLY. It's totally fine in a Timney or some other system that's got forged and polished and precise parts in it. This Ruger system can be improved significantly with some file/sanding/cleaning/shimming but that's more in depth than swapping a spring.

@dauntlessendeavors1000 Месяц назад

I completely agree. If one must have a trigger pull that measures in ounces, I always recommend purchasing a trigger that was DESIGNED to be operated in that weight range. I also don't recommend that the average person disassemble and stone or polish their trigger parts. 8 times out of 10, they will screw it up.

@exothermal.sprocket Месяц назад

@@dauntlessendeavors1000 Agreed. It takes some mechanical know-how and some good steady fingers to understand how to do that properly.

Very well done sir. I will pass this along to my shooting buddies as often as the opportunity arises. Thank you.

@dauntlessendeavors1000 Год назад

Thank you for the nice compliment.

Excellent safety philosophy. I totally agree and a 40 ounce trigger is very good for me. Thanx

Thanks for watching!

@christophergallagher531 2 года назад

Thanks. I went for one of these in .22lf, recently. The trigger as set is a nice weight for me. My problem is that a gritty feel, makes it hard for me to find the wall. Sooner or later, it will be reasonable to go in there, emm to day is a rain out. Ruger has specific torque specs for the stock mounts. This has kept me from going in. I like your take on deburing the mounts. Thanks again Chris

Excellent video! Should be a RFC sticky!

@dauntlessendeavors1000 Год назад

Thank you for the nice compliment.

@tedsalmon2533 10 месяцев назад

This was really well done. You provided a great visual demonstrating the relationship of trigger to sear when different trigger return springs, or no spring is applied. Good stuff

@dauntlessendeavors1000 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for the nice compliment.

@peteshour768 Год назад

Excellent video. Thank you for clarifying the myths about trigger springs.

@dauntlessendeavors1000 Год назад

Glad it was helpful!

@fjcoutdoors9661 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing. This is by far the best informational video I've watch with all trigger job reviews. Good job sir.

@dauntlessendeavors1000 2 года назад

Thank you very much for the kind compliment. Have a great day.

@brnd72 3 года назад

Excellent video, I appreciate your research into a common shade tree gunsmith misconception on trigger jobs. Safety and functionality are essential at all times.

@dauntlessendeavors1000 3 года назад

Thank you for your compliment.

@chuckminick9511 2 года назад

Thank you for this information I was considering a modified spring or cutting a coil .I have since changed my mind .

@dauntlessendeavors1000 2 года назад

Thank you for the compliment. There is room for improvement but I wanted to point out the dangers of going too far. Enjoy your rifle and be safe.

@geomaticskd 2 года назад

Nicely done!

@markthibault8579 3 года назад

Excellent video. I have a RAR LRT coming soon and am interested in having a safe but lighter trigger pull. Thanks for putting this together.

@allentraylor5659 10 дней назад

i cut (3) coils and did some sear engagement work. i got 1.5 LBS , pull-weight..... i'm gonna work on my slip-angle and see if i can make it 1LB. EVEN .

@dannpd1955 2 года назад

Thanks. Good informative video.

@bryanmise5105 3 года назад

I always learn much from your videos. THank you. I’ve adjusted my trigger 1-1/2 turns out on the factory trigger spring. I get a 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 lbs trigger pull. I’m happy to have that. watching your video made me stop chasing a lighter pull. Thank you again I hope you do a final testing video on your RAR rifle. I’m curious to see if your accuracy improves.

@dauntlessendeavors1000 3 года назад

Thank you for the nice compliment. I'm glad you find them helpful. Please stay tuned. I have several more videos in the works, as soon as I get caught up with my real work.
