CYA friends:
I'm posting this on this forum because the important rimfire accuracy forums are full........
There's so much happening here at CYA, that we don't have enough different forums to keep one important topic from being posted on top of another.

Anyway:
For users of B&A triggers:
When, if, you have time, and want to, it'd be most interesting if you'd run a simple test with your B&A trigger.
With your rifle empty, and clamped in a vise so you can deal with it, do this:
Make sure the rifle is empty......
Then de-cock the breech bolt.......like this:
Hold the trigger back, then lower the breech bolt handle, to de-cock the breech bolt.
Do it slowly at first, then re-cock the breech bolt and repeat, lowering the breech bolt handle smartly.
You may have to do this several times...
Here's what you're looking for:
As you hold the trigger back and lower the bolt handle smartly, do you feel, or hear, an audible click?
Or maybe, do you every once in a while, as you hold the trigger and close the bolt smartly, feel the firing pin delay, just for a split second, before it moves forward?
The audible click and the delay will be at the same time.
Or in an extreme case, when you hold the trigger and close the bolt handle smartly, real smartly, does the firing pin delay for an instant, then fire forward?

Please keep something in mind:
When you de-cock an action with a Remington pattern trigger, by pulling the trigger as you lower the breech bolt handle, the firing pin should simply move forward, with no click or delay of any kind.

If you shoot the B&A trigger, I'd recommend you run this simple test....
When you pull and hold the trigger, then lower the bolt handle smartly, there should be no click, or any delay of the firing pin moving forward...
