    Gunsmiths? HELP! Rem 700 Trigger

    OK, so I found 3 detailed "How-To's" on adjusting the trigger on my Remington 700.
    How To #1.
    How To #2.
    How To #3.
    I read all 3 just to make sure they're all in harmony and in case one left something out, another will catch it. Anyways, I'm following them exactly as stated, and when I get to the point of oiling the 3 screws, the trigger stop (over travel) screw seizes up. It'll back out no problem, but won't go in. I'm slowly loosening/tightening and it's slowly going back in, when all of a sudden the screw breaks, leaving no more slot for the screwdriver.

    Can I simply get a replacement screw, back this one all the way out, and put the new one in, or did I totally mess something up inside the trigger and have to buy a new trigger assembly? PLEASE HELP!!!

        This is exactly why I dropped mine off at Kerley's today. I'm willing to pay $65 for peace of mind, especially after reading about the lawsuits and why Remington ships these rifles out with 9lb triggers.

          I'm hoping I can get just the screw I broke. After fiddling with it a little more, the trigger still works, it just has a lot of play in it after being pulled.

          PM me with how much you want for one of your triggers.

                  Received the screws today. I was expecting only the one replacement for the one I broke, but you sent the whole set. Do you want me to return the others?

                  Thanks again!
