Thread: Ruger American - modifications

Trigger job is easy and worthwhile, cut the spring and polish sear with 2000grit sandpaper on a really flat square surface.
Careful not to cut too much spring though, test with adjustment screw taken right out or backed right off so you at least have some spare adjustment if chop too much spring otherwise can end up with a hair trigger.
I can't quite recall how much but maybe start with around 1 turn, may end up 1.5 or a bit more.
Do some research on the net, it's a really fine adjustment the last wee bit of spring so don't get too keen too fast.
Despite their rough and ready looks these rifles with right ammo are very accurate and equivalent to Tikkas easily.
You can also fill the forend in of stock to stiffen up and you are done.
