Title: Rem 700 ADL trigger adj. screws....???
Post by: MichaelJ on April 05, 2010, 09:17:14 PM: Hey all, went to set my trigger on my Rem 700 (90's model ADL long action) yesterday and the overtravel screw has a stripped head (I can barely turn it, but not very well, and I can't tighten it to where it should be). Anybody have any idea on where I can get replacement screws? They're pretty dang tiny and a specialy type screw so any help would be great! Thanks.

Michael

It looks like the screw is not a link so not sure if they have it but I would give them a call they are very helpful and I am sure they could get it for you. If they can't they may be able to point you in the right direction.

They are designed to be "messed with" but Remington will not work with a modified trigger assembly direct, they will require a new trigger assembly bought and installed. Check out ANY long range shooting/hunting site and you'll see there are TONS of people out there setting these triggers. Its not hard to adjust the sear engagement, then overtravel and finally trigger pull... It's a liability for Remington to say "please feel free to modify your trigger!".

As long as its done right its easy as cake. I just need a new screw... :chuckle:

Alot of folks have adjust their own triggers just fine.
I bet I've adjusted over 100 of the older style "Walker" triggers and more then a few of the X-pro's
