« on: May 18, 2007, 11:37:38 AM »
id  like some advice on my model 70.it is a 1987 carbine model in 30-06.i seem to be having trouble with the trigger.it works fine most of the time but if you bump the stock a little hard it will release the sear.is this normal or should i look into a custom trigger from timmney.i bought the gun new in 87 it hasn't much more than a 1000 rounds through it .any advice would be much appreciated.thanks huntingdeers

PLEASE STOP USING THE GUN !

I would not load one more round into that gun, until that trigger got some attention - Your life could depend upon it.

IMHO, It sounds like someone has adjusted it to a too light, even dangerous,  let-off [ or something got caught in the linkage] and it needs to be cleaned/adjusted ASAP, B4 someone gets killed by an inadvertent discharge.

Here's a link, to adjusting the trigger properly:

If you don't feel confident, in looking into the problem/doing it yourself, please take it to a good Gunsmith - It's an EZ fix.
