[ARCHIVED THREAD] - XCR Trigger Fix

Posted: 2/17/2008 6:58:24 PM EDT

For those of you with an XCR who find the only fault to be the sloppy two stage trigger... here is a nice fix I found on XCR Forum. After a trip to Home Depot for the $3.00 hardware and about 10 minutes of install I have a nice crisp single stage trigger on my XCR. I was thinking about having it sent off for the $60.00 trigger job but this is niiiiiiiice and easy.

AZIATOR AT XCR FORUMS (THANKS!!!)

OK, this is not difficult, just takes about 30 minutes and of course a test fire. I went to home depot and bought a 1/4" x 3/8" set screw (hex head) and a 1/4" x 3/4" button head hex screw. Other than that all you will need is a 1/8 inch allen wrench and a 5/32 allen wrench.

Start by using that 5/32 wrench and removing the screw holding the grip on. I reused the star washer that was on mine. Be sure you don't lose the spring or the safety detent when you remove the grip. Once the grip is removed you will insert the 3/8" set screw into the hole that the grip screw threads into. Should look something like this.

What I did was screw it in with the hammer cocked. as soon as the hammer went forward I started backing it out until I could cock the hammer again and also pull the trigger. Once you start playing with it you will feel what I mean. Here are a few pics from the top side.

Once you have it set where you want it use the new 3/4" button head screw to secure the grip back on the receiver (making sure the safety detent and spring are in place).

Once you have it all back together make sure the safety still works properly (the first time I installed mine I had it just a little too tight and the safety lever wouldn't move all the way to the S. Still worked but didn't click into place).

The last thing to do would be to test fire and adjust as necessary. Once final adjustments are made you should be able to use a little blue lok-tite to hold it in place, probably applying it from the topside and letting it settle into the threads.

As per my post above Bill Springfield says that this should help out. I know on mine it feels like there is less reset and creep than before but maybe that is my mind talking after spending $2 on those screws ;D
