Jewell Trigger Identification

I can't find a picture or a diagram of a Jewell trigger that has this 4th screw adjustment. Is this a Jewell or something else?

Other pics for more context:

That's a Jewell. I've never seen one with a 4th screw.

Ditto.

It's hard to see if the original over travel screw is still in place????

yes, over-travel screw is in there. Agreed, the pic is a little dark.

I have a few like that, but it looks like only the BR triggers have it, off a rifle built in 1991. =full]1699769[/ATTACH]View attachment 1699769

That's awesome. Do you know what that screw does?

It's a Jewell 2 stage trigger. I don't think they offered or sold them for very long at all. It has a secondary spring behind that setscrew for 2nd stg adjustment and has the extra 6th screw(s) in the sideplate with an extra internal boss for the spring to bear upon.

Adjustment:

1. Back off 2nd stage screw 3/4 turn (screw #4). Unit is now a single stg unit.
2. Set 1st stg pull weight (screw #3).
3. Set over travel (screw #2).
4. Set 2nd stg weight (screw #4).
5. Set sear (screw #1).

Screws #1-4 in order from front to back.

Thank you very much for the info. I didn't even know these existed.

I've got one that has a left-hand safety in a Nesika V I've had for at least 10-15 years. I'd kind of forgotten about it until this post. I long ago adjusted the set part out. I couldn't remember which gun it was in, so I had to take 3 out of the stock to figure it out.
