Front trigger adjustment on a 1874 Shiloh Sharps

Post by Seabeechief »

I have a Shiloh Sharps 1874 and I would like to get rid of the creep on the front trigger.
Could someone walk me through the process?
Thanks

Put hammer all the way down to full fire position, open lever, set rear trigger, turn screw in clockwise slow till trigger snaps by its self, now turn screw counter clockwise 3/4 to 1 turn and it will be perfect. Never back the screw all the way out or front trigger spring will pop out of position, Never play with set triggers with hammer in half cock or you will break sear tip..

Call if you don't understand my directions.
