After working on the trigger, no longer disappointed. May do a little more on the trigger to get it down to about 3 lbs. But, attached targets are six consecutive shots at 75 yds. Changed the scope to a 1.5-6 x 32 Weaver with finer crosshairs. Also, more power than the P-223. The tighter group is the first three shots. The ammo was Hornady Black 223 75gr BTHP.

Looks like you conquered it! Great work!

Nice shooting. So some of us are curious. What have you done to the trigger and how did you do it? Is there anyway you could post some pictures of your trigger job? Thanks Al

No Longer Disappointed .. .. I'd be out and out delighted .... well done on the trigger work

Will see if I can get some pics of the trigger work this week. Will try to do a little more to lighten to maybe 3 lbs.

Did a little more on the trigger and took some photos. Hopefully they load in the correct order.

First one shows the pin to knock out to separate the barrel from the receiver. Use a wood dowel or Delrin punch.
Second one shows the screws to be removed. Bottom one on each side.
Third is the Allen screw inside the receiver. It is a 3/32.
Fourth is the trigger assembly. It should come right out if you pull it. There is a spring on the front that should stay in place.

Fifth is the top of the trigger blade. This is the end to smooth. From the factory, this wasn't really smooth. Polished it with 600 grit. Looking with a magnifying glass I saw that it still was a little rough, so hit it with three light strokes of a file. Then polished a little more with the 600 grit.

The last one points to the "ledge" on the hammer. Polish this with the 600 grit. I got it shiny, and didn't change the angle or really take anything off.

With this last bit of work, the trigger is between 3 3/4# and 4#. So, will be happy and leave it there. Rifle season starts for us on Oct 11.

Well then,
I wish you some good luck hunting.

Love the talk and pictures of mechanical guts. Thanks for sharing. Good Hunting.

Oh ya, on pictures taken with most smart cell phones, hold the camera sideways with the ear speaker to the left and the mouth piece to the right. Pictures taken that way should post on this forum in the correct orientation.

Your appreciation of the info is the high-five. Only other thing you could do is give my post a 'like'.
