Is a Winchester 69A trigger adjustable?

Answer 1

Yes. To do this: 1. Remove the barreled action from the stock by unscrewing the screw closest to the fore-end tip on the underside of the rifle. 2. Turn the barreled action over and look at the bottom of the trigger. You will see a small screw immediately on front of the trigger. In front of that screw is a larger screw (@ 5/16"). This screw is hollow and contains a small spring. You can adjust the trigger by turning this screw in and out. Cautions: 1. The material into which this screw is threaded is a non-ferrous metal of some sort and is quite so be careful to avoid cross threading. 2. If you haven't cleaned the gun in a while, be prepared to do a thorough scrubbing. These guns accumulate bullet lubricate like nobody's business. 3. Have a trigger scale. 4. Check to be sure that the firing pin does not follow when you close the bolt. This can happen if the trigger pull is set too light and may cause the rifle to fire when the bolt is closed. 5. After you have adjusted the trigger pull, make the safety works properly. 6. I recommend securing the adjustment with Loctite 222 low strength thread locker. (Note this not as strong as the Loctite 242, that is usually used to secure scope mounts.
