Sir:
Liquor, is very savy - welcome to the forum!
As you decrease the sear engagement you move the trigger forward. But this is a "trigger-block" safety! This means that the face of the trigger must be stoned back until the safety pin will just block the triggers forward movement!
This is a very dangerous, note - "dangerous" trigger as all trigger blocking triggers are to modify!
"The safety on your rifle is located between your ears, and is adjustable by hitting it with a blunt object." So says A-Square manual and I agree.
Liquor is right and is testing our knowledge - because without without the modification of the front of the trigger - YOU HAVE NO SAFETY on this trigger!
And - WITH - the modification you also have a dangerous trigger.
Unless you have good insurance LEAVE IT ALONE!

Harry, with appropriate respect for your age and proclaimed gunsmithing skills, you don't know what the heck you're talking about! The screw in question reduces the trigger pull weight, by reducing the tension on the trigger return spring. Has absolutely nothing to do with engagement, as long as he doesn't go below 3# or so.
I've read your similar silliness about adjusting Remington triggers, the instructions for which were included with Remington rifles, many years ago.

Sir:
Sorry I didn't specify that to get a good trigger on that rifle, usually, you must adjust engagement. And, when you do exactly what I said happens.
Very few triggers, on most all pistols and long guns, are adjustable by using the weight screw - you really need engagement adjusted.
Therefore, I'll stand on my post.
Have a good day.

The screw on the front of the trigger is for adjusting pull weight. The spring is so heavy that you might get a 1/2 pound off by adjusting the screw. You need to take that spring out and measure the o.d. of the spring. Look in Brownells catalog at the coil spring packs. you want a spring that is the same o.d. but a smaller diameter wire. You will need to order several different sizes. Also, order a trigger pull gauge. You want to cut the spring to the same lenght as the original. You have to keep trying different wire sizes until you get the pull weight you want. Then you use the screw to fine tune it. I would not go below 3 pounds. You do not stone anything just change the spring.
