Clean the sear and trigger with lighter fluid to remove the lube that is there.
Apply nothing else except the lighter fliud, it is the only lube needed.
Dry fire at least 50 times, this will help mate in the sear and trigger surfaces, BUT it also rounds off the nice sharp edges. Deburring on a magnified level is the goal not wearing it out.
Make sure you grease your bolt head lugs first to prevent galling.
If you can, I would replace the trigger tension wire with another wire spring that is .035" - .040".
There must be tension on this wire at all times, the rifle will be unsafe otherwise.
Once you have adjusted the trigger weight screw, test it by firmly tapping on the action with a rubber mallet from various angles. Again I stress this, there must be tension on this wire at all times to ensure the trigger will catch the sear.
The rear most screw at the rear of the trigger is to set the safety. The screw just in front of that is the overtravel screw. Screw this in until it hits the safety. #### the rifle and screw this out until the sear can be released with a trigger pull. Turn out an additional 1/2 turn.
The safety screw should lightly rub on the safety when applied. I lube mine and keep them a little tight to ensure they work. If you look closely above the trigger you will see an adjustment screw on the safety itself. This screw pushes against the action and forces the top of the safety, where you place your thumb, down onto the action and the front of the safety down into the pin in the trigger housing, this eliminates any verticle play. #### the rifle and apply the safety. Screw in the safety adjustment screw until it touches the safety.
Test your adjustments when finished. Reassemble and retest. I use a rubber mallet to tap on the action, muzzle and sides of the stock and also slam the buttstock on a firm floor several times to be certain.
