Guessing you have double set triggers and you are looking for the adjustment screw between the triggers. If that’s the case, the triggers should work fine until you can find a replacement screw. Odds are, the trigger adjustment screw from a CVA or Traditions will fit if you can find one.

Thanks. I will look at that possibility. I may have one stashed somewhere. The triggers work fine but if you set them, then from full cock to fire, there is a click delay at the half cock position. I Appreciate your help. Dale

If the triggers work fine when you set them, then from full cock to fire, there is a click delay at the half cock position, you likely have an issue with the fly in the lock, or maybe it is missing.

Hi Dale, ifvyou have no luck here, can you get the rifle down to a hardware store. If you can find the correct threads you may be able ti fashion one up...best of luck!

It will be a metric fastener- once you figure out the diameter and thread pitch it should be easy enough to track down

Dale I had this problem with a traditions Crockett, I had to polish the lock and fly face. No more hiccup.

If you have or know someone who might have some old computers there are probably screws in those that fit. M3 is a common size, Ive used that on a couple.

 

[Rebel bull]

just take the trigger group to any ace etc. hardware store buy a couple as they are going to be to long and you will drop it several times when trimming it shorter I know this for a fact

Ace Hardware stores usually have a special assortment box with small screws common to guns and scope rings and mounts.
Do not know if they include metric screw sizes that your imported gun probably needs.

Take the trigger assembly to a well equiped hardware store, go to the nuts and bolts section, and find the right size screw for the job. If necessary, cold blue the screw or, by hanging it over some ammonia in a closed container for a day or two, blacken it..

That screw is usually 6-32, 6-40 or if metric, 4-1.75. Take the trigger assembly with you to the hardware store and match the screw. Then cut it to size. Semper Fi.

Funny that you might dismantle an old computer to source a screw to resurrect a muzzleloading rifle…

An old Northstar trigger took a 3-48 screw.

Thanks, found one.
