Thread: BSA 243

Remove the trigger assembly from the rifle (screw and cross pin) taking care not to lose the ejector coil spring when the trigger is withdrawn from the action. The upper tubular pin can be removed with a correct sized punch and a bench block. This will allow the sear and bent wire spring to be removed, taking care to note the exact position of the spring. The bottom pin allows removal of the trigger and small coil spring. The remaining pin allows removal of the third lever (if present). Clean and lightly oil all components and check for rust patches inside the housing plates. With a very fine Arkansas stone you can polish the mating surfaces, taking care to maintain the proper angles and not round off any edges. Reassemble in the reverse order. Some trigger weight adjustment is possible with the small screw in the trigger. Other adjustment requires some skill to safely adjust the sear bent angle with a the stone.

Thankyou mate that's awesome. I can adjust the adj screw but that's probably where Id leave it.
Might be a job for Alan Carr up here or similar.
