[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5584925, member: 18110"] Several years ago, I traded for an original micro medallion. The trigger absolutely sucked. It was so bad, that at times you couldn't even pull it. Because of this...I sold it. Regretted it immediately. Now, several years later, i bought it back from the guy I sold it to. Online research...I found some trigger springs that were supposed to lighten it. I ended up going with the Mcarbo spring. Changing it out was very simple. Playing with it (adjusting), I found what the original problem was. (Trigger seemingly locked). The adjustment screw is backwards from what you would think. You turn counter clockwise to increase weight. The screw has a lip on it that the spring sits on. The other end of spring is against the trigger itself. Turning CC compresses the spring against trigger. The screw is accessed through a hole in the trigger. Turning screw clockwise, to decrease trigger pull, is where the problem happens. Obviously, turning clockwise is also lowering the height of the screw. All the way out (CC) the screw head will actually protrude through the hole in trigger. When lightening the trigger pull (lowering the screw head height) you can get it below the hole in trigger. Any lateral movement of trigger will result in it hitting (sitting down on) the screw... stopping the trigger movement. So, if you have an A-bolt l or ll and the trigger occasionally locks up...try increasing the trigger weight...just enough to get that screw out enough to where it stays in the hole...and not under it. Hope that made sense...and that it helps someone. [/QUOTE]
