cleaning your trigger

[rebs]

On a Savage MK II how do you clean the trigger? Is it necessary to remove the action from the stock?
If you remove the action from the stock how do you get the action screw tension back to where it was?

Yes you need the action out of the stock to flush it out properly. I would spray the sh-t out of it with carb or brake kleen & then lubricate it with rosignol lighter fluid
. If you have an inch pound torque wrench you can check before you remove the barreled action. If not you’ll have to wing it.

I haved used this method for decades, it is simple and almost foolproof. -

Before removing the acion screws put a small dot of fingernail polish on the screw and a small dot on the escuthion or triggerguard. When installing the screws simply line up the dots and you are back where the screws were originally tightened to.

Trying to measure breaking torque using a torque wrench will give a false reading -
"In short, it takes less torque to loosen a threaded fastener than it does to tighten it, because the pitched threads act like an inclined plane. Tightening the fastener is like pushing "uphill;" loosening it is like pulling "downhill."

Lighter fluid works great!

Thank you, I will try this

will lighter fluid hurt the stock in anyway?

TRY to keep the fluid from the stock! You can do it!

Take it out of the Stock .
Lighter Fluid , can of spray Air .
Torque the Screws 50-60 in lbs .

Good Shooting

isn't that a lot of torgue fo a laminated stock on a 22lr ?

I would think so, especially if it doesn’t have pillars. I generally torque my non-pillar wooden stocks to 25-30 in/lbs.

Hate to post things people take as a different.

yes, no, maybe. - It all depends on the material the stock is made of and the finish on the stock.

You do need to be aware that lighter fluid will remove any protective oil you have on the metal finish of the action of your gun and if it isn't re-oiled it will be susceptible to rust.

Depends on the pillar material even if it is. Some 22's use a polymere pillar. 26in/lbs is recccomended max on CZ's

Why do you feel the need to clean the trigger? Is it malfunctioning in some way?

no it just seems the pull weight has increased slightly

 

[Rem72043722]

no it just seems the pull weight has increased slightly

Just my thought. I would think the increase is due to creep on an adjustment screw rather than dirt in the trigger. Only you can tell or check this. Good luck.

I will check it out. Thank you
