Tikka Trigger Troubles

[PredatorX]

To start with, this is most certainly a user issue and not a tikka issue.

I pulled off a barrel from my new tikka and should have removed the trigger assembly. I didnt and some pieces went flying. I was able to recoup the spring and safety lever. Lost the little clip holding safety lever though.

I assembled the safety lever and spring. The sear moves up and down as I activate the safety switch.

Now I mount it to the receiver and dry fire. No problem. Lift the bolt, pull back forward again and drop the bolt. Firing pin releases forward on close and trigger of course is dead. I did try backing out the trigger adjustment screw but no luck. Maybe I need to tighten it. It functioned fine before I took the mallet to it.

I also lost the bolt stop spring so I am currently testing without the bolt stop but that shouldn’t matter I don’t think.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I would turn the black screw in until 3 threads are showing. It looks like it's backed out too far.

No luck with turning the screw in.

Looking at a diagram it seems like maybe I lost the spring that sits into the hammer housing.

Dam dude, you did take it apart with a mallet.

You say no luck turning screw in. Is that because the screw is already turned in all the way? Or because you have not been able to move it at all? I'm wondering if you didn't dislodge the spring under the screw when you took it apart with the mallet?

 

[jaredg]

If screw is turned all the way in already, have you tried backing it out a few turns?

You might seriously consider buying a new trigger.

I was able to screw it in quite a ways but no change in behavior. The safety lever completely flew out so I am assuming there is a spring behind it according to diagrams that also let loose.

Yes I was able to snag a new on eBay for about 50 bucks.

Did you have the bolt that holds the trigger onto the action right when you were testing it? Of that bolt is loose the firing pin can release when you close the bolt.

 

[PredatorX]

I had it pretty tight but I did not torque it to spec.

 

[ResearchinStuff]

That bolt needs to be real right. 11 ft lbs

I’m thinking the spring in the hammer in this diagram may have flown out. I’m not sure of it’s function though

Did you find the return spring? Goes in from the back and is held in by the safety?

Without this, it will fire on close.

No I haven’t. That would make sense then if it is a return spring.
