Tikka trigger spring fail

[Formidilosus]

not arguing here just curious. couldn't you throw an aftermarket screw in that is much more flexible and provides a better break when pulling trigger (my understanding of why one would buy this in the first place). Then just back it out to the trigger housing screw like you would with a factory and have a better trigger but still safe?

Do what? The screw has nothing to do with it. The spring is what keeps the trigger working and safe. Do not touch the trigger or spring besides backing that screw off until it contacts- at most.

2.5lbs is already too light for a field trigger for the vast majority of people and uses. Going lighter than that just causes issues.

Amount of tension applied to the trigger is what makes it save. This is controled by spring compression (how far out the screw is) and spring force (how strong the spring is).

Any combination that results in too little force (that lightens the trigger below say 2 pounds) results in decreased safety.

The factory spring appears more durable than most aftermarket springs. So messing with the screw to change spring compression might be more predictable over time than changing the spring. You still have a trigger that is compromised from a safety standpoint when compared to original design.

KRG talks about this on the page for their Midas trigger.
