Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors What's up with this MOA trigger

x2, This ^^^

Changing the spring to a lighter one didn’t induce a light strike problem that wasn’t there before you started. Disassemble and inspect or take it to someone who is familiar. I’ve owned 5 M70’s with the MOA trigger, not an issue with any of them.

Might need to clean / flush / or soak in lighter fluid. Agree with earlier post that likely something is dragging. Cleaning and lubing may help of solve the issue. Lighter fluid is a very light lube.

If that doesn't do it, may need to take parts out, and lightly stone sides on extra fine hard stone. Might be a micro-burr somewhere causing drag.

You are NOT stoning the sear, just the sides or possibly the edges ( just enough to break the edge).

Or replace it with a Timney...... I hope TriggerTech will make one for the BACOs,, It would be a YUGE improvement.. FWIW.

That is silly to tell him his rifle is pos.

Might want to take the bolt apart and clean the inside as well as the firing pin/spring, then lightly lube. Earlier suggested cleaning, and stoning trigger parts to remove possible micro-burrs that could be causing hang up/drag.
