Daystate Wolverine R Trigger Adjustment

[jps2486]

I just love my new Wolverine R, but would like to adjust the trigger down to 8 oz or so. Following the directions and adjusting the trigger weight screw, the best I can do is get it down to 20 oz. Further adjustment then prevents the sear from engaging. Anyone have any tricks or suggestions?

Yes. Replace the spring you see when you remove the trigger assembly (4 screws) with a light spring from a ballpoint pen. Spring length - the spring just has to stick up a tiny bit above the plate.

This is a 5 minute change and reversable.

Works fantastic - you will be able to get your Wolfie’s trigger pull weight down as low as 5 ounces with this simple change, and it will be stable - will pass the “bump test”.

I did as you suggested. Cut the pen spring so it just protrudes from the plate. After assembly, I could get the trigger pull down to 11 oz but the sear engagement was rather hit or miss. I would have to adjust the front screw higher to make it work properly, but the trigger pull is back up to 19 oz. There are some springs internally in the trigger that have some significant weight, but I'm not anxious to dig into that. I judge my attempt here to be unsuccessful. Do you have any pictures?

I know I took pictures, but I'll struggle to find them as they are not in my Wolverine folder.

I'll likely take it apart again and take some pictures and measurements - to help out fellow AGN Wolverine owners.

I'll try to do early this week.

I assume you cut the ballpoint pen spring to length. Can you measure it too please. I’m going to Ace Hardware and rummage through their spring collection an see if I can find something better. There seems to be a delicate balance here.
