I thought I would update my status in playing with this Crown trigger, as others appear to be having an issue with it getting sticky before an acceptably lower release weight can be achieved. I've had mine adjusted numerous ways, both single and "two-stage" operation (in quotes as it is not really a two-stage trigger). I took mine apart and lightly stoned the bearing surface on the trigger roll, although I could not see or feel any roughness anywhere. I have not yet been able to get a two-stage adjustment under about 14-15 ounces, without the trigger getting sticky. I now have it set up with a very good single stage operation at 6 ounces. My process was: Turn in the first stage spring setting, which is probably directly under the trigger blade, so you will need to slide it out of the way. This is the spring some recommend replacing or cutting for a lighter pull when working with a two-stage setup, but I didn't find that effective. In single stage operation it has more importance, and it probably needs to be turned in for a little higher resistance. Next, adjust out all the first stage travel with the front screw, all the way to the first stage stop. At that point, it is a matter of playing with that screw, and the second stage adjustment screw in the rear of the trigger plate. It's kind of a balancing act, and you have to be patient. You also must check the safety position adjusting screw immediately behind the trigger to be sure it remains operational. If not, you need to turn it in a bit. As I stated before, this is not a recommended adjustment procedure, and it might not work on your rifle. You are setting up the sear with minimal engagement with that first stage adjuster, and you must be sure the rifle remains safe. I have tapped on the butt of my rifle with a hammer, and it has remained safe, but I will be very cautious with it while continuing to test, and I urge anyone interested in experimenting with this to do the same. This Crown trigger is fine in its intended two-stage operation if you want nothing under about a pound in release pressure, otherwise, its rudimentary design simple doesn't allow much adjustment. It would have been so much better to have been designed as single stage, IMO.
