What does everyone know about Xbolt trigger adjustments? Backed screw out under bottom metal and it's still over 4lbs. Looking for 2 or less. Earnie the Gunsmith don't sell springs any more. Any info will be greatly appreciated!!!

I don't know if a spring for the new Winchester trigger is the same or not.

Mine backed off to a low setting, but I didn't measure it. I would shoot it a bit to let things smooth up on their own.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Hey guys, Im really having a hard time with this one!! There must be some Browning fans that can help? Where can I get a different trigger spring? Or has anyone got a different solution?? 119 guys read this but I only got 2 responses.

Also I contacted Browning and they did not want to discuss this because of all the legalities.

Brownells should have springs

Did you try flushing it out and readjusting? I've adjusted 2 xbolt sand both came down just under 3 pounds.

Mine also won't adjust below 4 pounds. What does "flushing" a trigger mean?

Try flooding the trigger housing with Rem-oil and blow out with compressed air. I've had chunks of metal flush out of Remmy triggers doing that.

Bic pen spring will do the trick.

Bic pen spring will do the trick. Are you serious? Aren't they way too long? Have you done one? From what I understand, this is much more complicated than replacing the A-bolt spring.

There has to be a way, since they used to sell the springs. I'll see if I can find out how to do the Bic pen spring trick.

Well, I found a youtube video on how to do it on the A-bolt II, but the X-bolt trigger is a different kettle of fish. I also found a place where I can buy original x-bolt trigger springs, but I'm afraid to take the trigger apart.

I am certain ball point pen springs are only made of the very best steels with an impeccable pedigree. Surely they are more critical than a simple high-power rifle.

I think you're stuck with it. Mine doesn't have much adjustment and you can remove the adjustment screw completely without any ill effect. Looks like it adjusts against a plate of some sort. I'm not sure how heavy mine is but I'm happy with it.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

You could always order a ernie the gunsmith spring for the Model 70 MOA trigger...remove the spring from your Xbolt and compare...They might or might not be the same diameter.It will be a 10 dollar experiment...maybe you can cut off one coil and see how that works.
If not sure just bring it to a "good" gunsmith . There is no way that the trigger pull weight can not be reduced with that design

Ernie quit selling the spring apparently because reassembly is such a painintheass he got tired of all the time on the phone telling guys how to put it back together. FYI
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!
