It comes with three pages of instructions, which is great because you really need to understand how it works. I went and kept it at their adjustments being i was very happy with its performance. The notible differences were, lighter pull, shorter pull, (comparable to my ar), and crisp, clean operation. The only thing i had trouble with was staking the set screws so they dont move. Thank God this trigger set is truly hardend, but my punch didnt care for it. I had to sharpen the punch 5 times. But truly worth it!

could you providea few more details? seems like you adjust the trigger and set the screws and then "stake" the screws in place permanently? using a punch to deform the screw threads so the screws don't move out during firing?
thanks

I had my first chance to got out and use my new trigger earler this week. Out of the box it worked great. Then I set it up for single stage, just what I was looking for. It was tough to get the screws broke free to reset the trigger with the med (blue) Loctite they come with. Im going to reloctite the adjustment screws and keep a eye on them. I may want to go back to a 2 stage set up.

Setting the trigger up was not difficult to do but it was a bit of an education in how the parts interact. It was a fun puzzle.

thanks Yes. once you have got it were you are very happy, you punch in a dimple slightly deforming the threads and therefore not worring about red or blue loctite ever dissolving by the hoppes or other cleaner.
