RJW NZicon

In reference to the Canadianicon manual and bending the trigger guard to adjust trigger pull. NOTE: Wood crush between the bottom of the receiver and top of trigger guard assembly (fore stock). I have one manual that states if the trigger guard bushing falls bellow 1/2 inch the fore stock was to be replaced. Another manual states that if you have more than .010 wood crush the fore stock was to be replaced.

Bottom line, bed the rifle FIRST before adjusting the trigger pull and we don't throw good stocks away if they have a shorter than required bushing/collar or if they have too much wood crush.

The above reads as "sometimes" its necessary to bend the trigger guard to get an acceptable trigger pull, if due to wood crush the angle of the trigger guard exceeds normal limits.

This is why the Canadian No.4 manual states this about having a bent trigger guard:
"This condition may have to be corrected prior to adjusting trigger pull"

May meaning depending on the amount of wood crush the fore stock has.



My cocking piece bent was stoned to a 15 degree angle for a very slick pull.
