Trigger Pull

(1/3) > >>

Thunderhawk1828:
Hello all:

I have a Traditions Kentucky 50 Cal Flintlock (Single trigger) and the pull on it seems heavy. Is there any way to reduce the poundage pull on this rifle? I didn't see any screw to use and I didn't find any info on the Traditions web site. If the answer is no, then so be it.

Thanks for the help.

Have you tried pulling the lock and trigger assy. and polish the sear trip etc. I have an old CVA Kentucky and thats all it took to get a smooth crisp trigger.

BEAVERMAN:
id there an adjustment screw on the sear like most of the traditions rifles?

Gordon H.Kemp:
Beave, most of the CVAs and Traditions didn't get polished or fine tuned before going to the dealers. The locks do have an adjustment screw but it's usually machine marks and small burrs that cause the stiff pull. I would do the clean-up before trying to adjust the sear screw. I've owned and worked on several CVAs and Traditions and all but two were cured without touching the screw.

BEAVERMAN:
I agree Gordy, first thing I do with ANY lock that I get is take it apart and polish all moving parts!
