What size allen wrench?
« on: November 23, 2008, 05:06:35 AM »
I went to adjust the trigger on my Contender and found that I did not have the right allen wrench.  Does anybody know what size it is...it sure is small !

  It's smaller than a 1/16th, called #050 on my set. :o

.050" is the size regardless of what the wrench actually measures.

.050 has been nominated and seconded.  I will vote yeah and close the voting.  .050 wins.  Trigger overtravel and trigger adjusting screws are both .050".

OK, I yield to the majority, .050" it is.  Sounds a lot better anyway.
