No.2 Rolling Block - sear adjustment screw
Today at 10:24am
Print Post  
I’m new to the forum and although getting old, new to older single shot rifles. 

My wife has chosen a No.2 RB as the platform to build her 22BPCR rifle. Our rifle has a decent trigger but a good deal of travel. It appears to me that it would be feasible to drill and tap a hole from  the upper radius behind the trigger guard to a location behind the trigger near the location the sear enters the rear of the trigger. With a set screw and Allen wrench you could then easily adjust the sear engagement on the hammer. Simultaneously adjusting sear engagement, removing trigger slack and travel. likely remove a little pull weight by essentially preloading the trigger as well.  Not an Anschutz trigger but an improvement.

Now, I have thick skin and no experience with the RB. This may be a dumb idea based on my ignorance of the action. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.  I may be learning as I age. Younger me would do then ask. 

Thanks
Wayne

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

It is possible, but the problem I see is getting that adjustment screw to the right angle with the sear and still getting to the screw head behind the trigger. It's going to come in at a pretty steep angle, and then it's still going to be tough to get an Allen wrench into the screw head. And if you drill it so the screw contacts the sear perpendicular to the sear tail it's going to be impossible to adjust without removing the trigger to access it.
I would take material off the sear notch to shorten the trigger travel, and also remove the trigger return spring and make a lighter spring to lower trigger pull weight.
