The Timney trigger in my Springfield 1922 M2 has developed some creep. Can this be remedied by the owner using the adjusting screws or is a job for a gunsmith? How do you go about using the adjusting screws to remove the creep. I have looked at Timney's website but the instructions there are not very helpful.

From the PM gunswizard sent me, and then removed herself from: Sir,
I am a gunsmith but that doesn't mean I know everything, I sometimes ask for advice. Your remark was unwarranted, in the future unless you can add something constructive please refrain from posting. Please consider this PM to be rhetorical, no reply sought.
Thanks,
BT My seperate PM to reply: #1. I said I thought were a gunsmith, because I thought I remembered you saying you were gunsmith at some point. No slight was intended, but clearly you found some. My query obviously struck some nerve with you. I'll say now though that a "gunsmith" who can't figure out how to adjust a user friendly trigger like a Timney even with instructions is not a real confidence booster... I would think that any "gunsmith" who could find his ass with both hands could manage it. My suggestion to call Timney was a genuine one. They are more than helpful, and back their product well.
#2. Sending PM's to chastise someone for your perceived offense, and then removing yourself from the PM is a very "bitch" move. Though given your overt sensitivity in this case I find it less than surprising.
I'll not remove myself from this PM so you can feel free to reply or delete it. I'd wager it's clear which path you'll choose though.

I am seeking information not a pissing match with a troll who is so ignorant as to not know the meaning of rhetorical nor PM (private message). One more placed on ignore.

Sorry bitch, I asked a question and offered a suggestion. YOU got your puzzy hurt. I understand Private Mesaages and what rhetorical means just fine, but if you send me an unsolicited PM acting like a chick what's rhetorical or private isn't exactly your call.
Again the idea of a "gunsmith" sending a gun off to another gunsmith because he can't figure out how to adjust a Timney trigger is damned funny.

I have forgotten more about gunsmithing than you will ever know, besides who are you to judge? You know perfectly well what you were doing asking "I thought you were a gunsmith". Part of being a professional is knowing when to ask a question, many times it is the expedient way to get a solution. Asking others does not dimish one's qualifications. I also know how to behave in a civil manner, not making snide remarks, using foul language or questioning one's sexuality. Crass & crude as has come to typify posters like above. If you cannot make a positive contribution or say anything nice then not responding is the civilized, gentlemanly thing to do. Look back in the gunsmithing section archive and see how much gunsmithing information I have shared from a career in the trade of 40 years. Then ask yourself "what have I contributed"?

I thought you were going to put me on ignore?...
I asked a question, and I offered advice. You got your puzzy hurt because you took it wrong, and now you won't back off it.

Did I say I was going to do it instantaneously? Why do you feel it necessary to use language that you need to mis-spel in order to get by the filter? Another example of crass & crude, notice my replies all use civil adult language. You can quit worrying, you are now on ignore. You never answered my question as to what gunsmithing knowledge you have contributed in 7635 posts. A lot of your stuff seems to be more of a confrontational rather than informational nature.

My point exactly...
He still doesn't have me on ignore either. Maybe he'll start a thread asking how to do that too.

I always appreciate when a GUNSMITH asks me how to adjust a trigger. It saves me the pain of ever sending anything ( the rifle ) in the wrong direction.
As far as your 30/06 developing Creep. I'd likely start by putting some lok-tite on the screw that holds the trigger on and tighten it back down.

A gunsmith asking about how to adjust a timney trigger is freaking hilarious! When I quoted "Gunlizard" on a simple vice and file job that really subtended to FIRST YEAR APPRENTICE grade "smithing",...indicating that it would be billed out as Mill and lathe time ,....he got all chitty, and read me off the riot act about his illustrious career as a fine smith,....etc. ,....etc. Than the "puzzy" PM routine,....just like what Tom just related. ...than ignore,... Far as I can tell the old sucker's a metal hack, and scam artist, trying to get restoration work done on his trading stock at budget basement $$ ....may have been responsible for sweeping floors in some Gun Factory once, but quite a bit shy of making a pimple on a smith's ass. Pizz on him and alla' this "polite" crap. Now which way should I turn this, and what's your choice of penetrating oil ? GTC

Another troll heard from, worthless confrontational posts are his style too. Seldom contributes anything worthwhile, acting like a pimple faced adolescent hiding behind his computer keyboard hurling insults must be how he gets his jollies. Most 'fire folks know these types for what they are.

The funny thing about that last line of your's gunswizard is that a damn good amount of 'fire regulars have met or know me in person. Same for crossfireoops. I've made a lot of very good friends here.
How many can you say that for gunswizard?
By the way that Timney still got you stumped? For all your crowing about wanting to find the most expedient answer it sure seems calling Timney would have been the faster route.

Seems at the very least that he should change his handle, or put a smiley face behind it. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

If a Timney has creep, look at engagement, it may be too much. You don't need a lot. I'd get the specs from Timney if I didn't know how much was enough, or too little.
Generally Timneys are very good triggers, I have several and none have been problems in any way.
