Jewel Trigger adjustments

[DLT]

I have the trigger installed on an origin action. It was too light for my novice butt so I turned the pull weight set screw about 2 rounds. When it’s on fire it goes off as it should. When it’s on safety it does as it should the trigger won’t engage. When i flip it up to fire it goes off. It did not to that when it was set very light. Help

Some Jewell triggers come with extra springs to increase trigger pull.
Have you turned the screw back and did operation return to normal function.
May have bottomed out the setscrew.

I did not try that. I will. It’s just a not safe issue for me being that light. Rifle went off twice on me yesterday before I was ready. Yea bad habits on my part I’m sure

Probably need to go thru the procedure in that link in order to get it set exactly where you want it.

I’m happy with it I think. I just wanted to up the pull weight a little bit. I have since bottomed the set screw out and it worked fine, backed it back out and it worked fine. Dont really know what the problem was all about. Seems not repeatable

You would need to change the springs to change the pull weight, There is no other real effective way with the
bench rest model at least. Awesome triggers.

I believe this is a hvr trigger. It came with 3 springs. A is supposed to be installed. I don’t even know where it’s located on the trigger

If 2 rounds means 2 full rotations that’s too much for any of the screws. Those adjustments are 1/4 turn type of movement. I suggest reading the instructions. Safe shooting, cheers.

The trigger spring is under the trigger pull weight adjustment screw. You pull out the adjustment screw and the spring comes out. You can then substitute one of the other springs and replace the adjustment screw, and make your adjustment.

There is a technical manual in Accurate shooter on how to make the adjustments.
You can use Google as well or use search function

From the Manual

Spring force ranges,(typical):

Spring A: 8.0 to 56.0 oz.
Spring B: 2.0 oz. to 16.0 oz.
Spring C: 1.5 oz. to 3.0 oz.

Please do not be offended by the following cautions. I am not presuming any particular skill or experience level on your part. There will be others reading these posts that could also be affected and/or influenced.

I do quite a lot of trigger replacements and adjustments for a variety of shooters with different intended uses for their rifles. IMHO I generally do not recommend trigger force settings below 3 lbs, (48 oz) for field hunting or 1 lb, (16 oz) for informal target or varmint hunting from a rest.

Below the 1 lb, (16 oz) trigger pull force level is the realm of the serious and experienced target and benchrest shooters that are firing from stable rests. Below about 3 oz pull force it becomes difficult for all but the very experienced shooter to maintain both trigger contact and safe control.

The 2 to 16 oz range of the "B" spring puts you into that realm and therefore places a serious burden on you for added safety in your own use. Also be reminded that should you allow others to "try" your rifle you should also be careful to warn/caution them as to the very low force and energy required to fire that rifle as apposed to what they are used to and expect.

The "C" spring 1.5 oz. to 3.0 oz should IMHO only be used on the BR model trigger by a very experienced BR shooter.

That’s about what I think also. Thank you

I don’t have a trigger pull gauge. If I was to install the B spring and turn the adjustment in till it stopped, careful to not hurt or strip anything it should be around 16oz correct ?

Also if I go that route will it affect any of the other settings on the trigger just by changing the pull spring ?

Maybe. Maybe not. There's more involved than the just the trigger.

Well I installed what I believe is the B spring. It’s the medium one I assume. A was installed. I checked all the functions with B in and increased the pull weight. I don’t see any safety issues the trigger feels crisp to me. I screwed set screw in until I felt it giving some resistance back.

Yes depending on the specific spring you had received with the trigger. In my experience with "B" springs, the high end has been 15.2 to 16.5 when using the other settings as given in the Jewell instructions and measured by my trusted trigger pull gage.

Generally no.

If you really want the trigger set for 16oz you would be more satisfied if you used a trigger pull gage and spring "A". That would avoid the variance that tends to develop if you try to set near the end of the spring.

Get a trigger pull gage even if a basic spring manual reset type.

I put the A spring back in. By time I get to where I like the pull weight the firing pin falls when I take it off safety. Sometimes it doesn’t. It’s way heavier that any 8oz before it stops firing when safety comes off

Sounds like you have the sear out of adjustment. Is this Remington patten trigger ?
