A crisp, clean trigger minimizes the negative influence a shooter can have on accuracy. The AccuTrigger is the first factory trigger design to have minimal sear engagement to safely allow a light, crisp trigger break.  Additionally, the AccuTrigger lets the shooter easily adjust the pull weight to suit their personal preferences without sacrificing safety. The steps to adjust the AccuTrigger vary slightly based on the model. Find the specific directions for your model in the list below to learn how to adjust the AccuTrigger.

*These are the general steps on AccuTrigger adjustment. Please find the specific directions for your model in the list above.

  1. Place the safety selector into the full safe position.
  2. Remove the magazine and open the bolt.
  3. You may need to remove the stock. (Refer to your model’s specific instructions)
  4. Insert the provided AccuTrigger tool into the trigger return spring and rotate until you feel the slot engage the end of the spring. (Refer to your model’s specific instructions. Note: An AccuTrigger tool is not needed for B.MAG models.)
  5. To adjust the trigger weight higher, rotate the tool clockwise. You will feel a click when it is set to the maximum.
  6. To adjust the trigger weight lower, rotate the tool counterclockwise. Stop when you feel the tension increase. The weight is now set to its minimum.
  7. To check the trigger weight setting, close the action. Place the safety selector into the fire position and dry fire the firearm.
  8. Reinstall the stock, if necessary. (Refer to your model’s specific instructions)

  11. Reinstall the magazine.
