trigger question

Yo,
If you don't have a, "crisp break", with your trigger
how does it effect firing pin behavior? Can the accu-trigger
be adjusted to decrease or eliminate, "creep"?

It seems that at the end of my exhale, I'm a little ways off
from the break of the trigger. Just practise I suppose. :ball:

You actually pose a GREAT question. This just does not happen to accutriggers, but other brands as well.

First, remove, disassemble, and clean the trigger/safety/bolt/firing pin. Lightly lube with your favorite lube. I prefer a full synthetic light/med oil or light grease.

Report back and see if that does anything for you.

I suppose that maybe it isn't a GREAT question? Considering
the 62 views and only 1 response? :lol:

I tried to get thaT ALAN screw before from the bolt
any suggestions?

Don't lube your trigger. It will attract dust. Clean with lighter fluid. Never apply lube of any kind. This comes from personal experience and conversations with Arnold Jewell and other benchrest shooters that have made the mistake in the past.

Ray,
Just cleaning will diminish creep?

Varminter- didn't say that. A knowledgeable gunsmith can operate on it and reduce the creep. Finding one of those is tough.
