they do not include the trigger adjustement but slamfire pointed in the right direction.
 
Any doubts then a competent and qualified gunsmith should do the adjustments. Lock nuts must be tightened sufficiently. The trigger group assembly screws to the action must be sufficiently tightened as well.

These triggers are pretty good provided you don't go trying to set them in ounces. The safety screw is critical to safe function as well. I have some good instructions somewhere....let me look.

Zastava trigger adjustment​

There are two adjustment screws at the front of the trigger and two more at the back.

(1) Front of trigger, lower: Safety adj. screw....Used to compensate for wear in safety bolt ie. trigger slop with safety engaged. Adj. by turning screw CW until trigger movement is eliminated with safety on.

(2) Front of trigger, top: Adjusts weight of pull. Turn CCW to decrease trigger pull. Will adjust down to approx. 2lb pull.

(3) Rear of trigger, lower. Stop or overtravel adjustment. To adjust for minimum over travel. With bolt closed, striker in fired position. Turn CW all the way in, then back off 1/8th turn.

(4) Rear of trigger, top. Sear engagement adjustment screw. To adjust for minimum sear engagement: Bolt closed, action cocked. Safety off, empty chamber (or dummy round). Turn adj. CW ubtil sear releases, then back off 1/4 turn.
