Anybody know how to adjust a LC6 Ruger Hawkeye trigger?

[John R.]

I need to adjust the trigger on my new 338 Federal Ruger Hawkeye. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

From what I have read, the LC6 trigger is not made to adjust.

Someone who is handy can improve the factory trigger, but it sounds like it can be quite a challange and take hours.

I am posting a link to a discussion board where your question was asked.

The reply is about the same as others I have seen, but he gives a link to an outfit that will sell you a steel drop in, fully adjustable replacement for $70.

This may sound overly easy but it worked for mine. The trigger in my rifle (actually my daughters),was pulling about 6 lbs. It was a good trigger just heavy. I took apart ball point pens and found a spring about the right diam. and just replaced the trigger spring. I got it down to about 2 3/4 - 3 lbs. Took all of 15 mins to do. I didnt mess with the sear engagement or anything else. Like I said it was pretty good from the start but really heavy.

John a read a sidenote today in Guns.

To lighten a Ruger LC6 trigger you need to replace the trigger-sear spring.
You can order one from Brownells it is a Wolff Redused Power trigger spring.
