Ok, I ran another 250 rounds of bulk ammo through it, 75 were the last of a box of Aguila Super Extra and the rest Federal Auto Match.
The pull is smoothing out but it still has that stack. A buddy fired 10 through it DA. He kept them in a 2” circle @10 yds by staging the trigger pull. (For those who may not know what that is; staging is basically starting the DA trigger pull and then stopping juuust as the cylinder locks and before the hammer falls. The shooter then does a final alignment of the sights and finishes the stroke.)
I don’t stage my DA triggers, I prefer to do a smooth, consistent stroke all the way through. But, this silly wall makes that tough!
After a bunch of DA shots just fired to get rounds through the gun (orange target), I settled down to shoot some DA shots to see whether or not things were getting better.
Things were better than the first couple of times it was shot, so that’s a good sign. The bottom right was fired SA @10, I have no issues with the SA pull.
I got it home, cleaned the residue off/out of it and tried the DA trigger pull on my Lyman gauge again.
DA average was down to 11 lb 3 oz, which if it was smooth and consistent would not be too bad. I realized that the strain screw was bottomed out when I brought it home so I had bottomed out the strain screw when I reassembled it. Having not tried this yet I backed it off slightly more than a half turn and the “DA wall” wasn’t there anymore. Over 5 pulls it now registers a much more consistent 9 lb 8 oz in DA and 3 lb 7 oz in SA.
I plan on going back on Wednesday, if cartridge ignition is still 100% then I may have found my fix. If this is it, I will buy the set of various length strain screws mentioned elsewhere and make this more permanent. If not, I will start looking elsewhere.
Stay safe.
