Assistance in Model 52 (.22) trigger adjust?

**wayncind** · February 7th, 2007, 12:58 PM

Just purchased a Browining Model 52 Sporter.
This unit has a trigger adjust screw, and a OT (over travel) adjust screw.
I am attempting to use this rifle in in-door competative shooting here in my community, but the trigger does not seem to be adjusting down to a fine easy pull.
In speaking with a industry source, he indicated I may be able to find someone familiar with this procedure in a rifle chat room, but due to lialibility, thay as OEM sources could not help me in this procedure.
He did also indicate this may include the alteration of a existing part or the trigger assemble. He further stated, that both the Browing and Winchester Model 52 triggers are identical in this alteration and adjustment procedure.
This may have been a 1993 era rifle from what I have learned so far.
Is anyone familiar with this?
Thank you, Wayne

If you do not have a direction sheet for the rifle, I would personally recommend that you take the rifle to the nearest gunsmith. You could easily ruin a perfectly good trigger without much difficulty!

Thank you for the response.
And NO, I do not intend to tear into the trigger assembly quite yet.
I do have it at the minimum setting tight now, and will guess it is as the factory rep indicated, about 5 pounds or more now.
Which for the moment is fine, although for competative shooting, especially offhand, 2 or 3 lbs works much easier for me.
Which is where my other rifles are set up for (with a scale).

At 66 + years, and still hunting and shooting, I am fairly ladder logical in what I will attempt repair on, without some good instructions or parts manual on how to assemble/disassemble the mechanism.

Thank you again, appreciate, and have a great day.
