Friends,
Is this still good advice on getting the Marauder trigger back to factory settings?
Sqrl Klr: "turn the 2nd screw in until the safety no longer holds it's place securely. Then turn the screw back around half a turn or so while moving the safety at the same time until you will feel the safety works as it should. Test fire it several times engaging and disengaging the safety to make sure it doesn't fire prematurely, and bump the gun several times too just to make sure it won't accidentally fire.
Once you have that sweet spot located then just insert the 1st screw until you have a little gap between it and the trigger link to give you a little free 1st stage then you're set."
The previous owner made some changes to the Marauder I have now and I'd like to keep a safe hunting trigger (2-3.5 lbs). I ordered and replaced the bent spring (torsion link / lawyer spring) but am having trouble getting rid of the long first stage and no distinct 2nd stage. I'm not trying to get any lighter than 2lbs, but am looking to ensure safety and a decent 1st and 2nd stage.
Thanks for confirming the above quoted guidance or adding additional info.
Joe
