How to Adjust an Old Remington 700 Trigger?

There are many variables that can effect the trigger of a rifle, such as weather, ammunition, and the shooter's individual physiology. Because of this, it is difficult to give a definitive answer on how to adjust an old Remington 700 trigger. However, there are a few basic things that can be done in order to ensure that the trigger is as responsive as possible.

The first thing that should be done is to clean the trigger assembly. This can be done with a cotton swab and some gun solvent. Be sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies, as even a small amount of dirt can cause the trigger to malfunction.

Once the trigger assembly is clean, the next step is to lubricate it. This can be done with a gun oil or a silicone-based lubricant. Be sure to apply the lubricant sparingly, as too much can actually cause the trigger to stick.

The final step is to adjust the trigger itself. The adjustment screw is located just behind the trigger, and can be turned clockwise or counterclockwise in order to increase or decrease the trigger pull. It is important to note that the adjustment screw should be turned very slowly, as a small change can have a large effect on the trigger pull.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to get your old Remington 700 trigger working like new again.

There are a few things you can do to troubleshoot a trigger problem. First, check the trigger for any obvious damage. Next, try dry firing the gun to see if the trigger breaks cleanly. If it doesn't, there may be something wrong with the trigger sear or hammer. You can also try cleaning the gun to see if that makes a difference. Finally, if all else fails, you can take the gun to a gunsmith to have it looked at.
