Your right, its to adjust the trigger pull

If you do twiddle with it remember how many turns

OR PART TURNS

you do so you can return to the original setting.

After you have adjusted the trigger to a pressure you like (this can take some time) if you use a fish weighing scale you can measure the amount of pull required to fire the weapon. The data can then be used to set up any other rifles you have with adjustable triggers.

 

Some rifles don't employ a nice simple trigger adjustment system as you have there, some require you to remove the action from the stock (pain) so knowing what pressure you like saves a lot of time and messing about.

Trigger adjustment.

You don't say, but I'm assuming it to be a Rekord trigger on one flavour of Weihrauch or another.

Turning the screw anticlockwise will lighten the trigger pull, but please exercise care as taking it too far will render the gun unsafe.

The last thing you need is for the gun to discharge unexpectedly.

If in doubt, don't fiddle.
