I was lightening up my trigger on my Mark V (US model) per the instruction on the website and backing out the trigger pull set screw. Unfortunately I went too far, it fell to the ground and now is lost! So I call Weatherby to find the thread pitch so I can go get another one. They refused to give me the thread pitch and inform me that I have to send it into a service center! I can't believe this.... Do anyone happen to know the size/pitch of this set screw? Thanks | ||

I don't know the size off hand but, if you have a good assortment of drills and taps it can be whatever size you want.  Seriously, you can easily determine the size and pitch by force threading a tapered wooden dowel of the approximate size into the hole and then measuring that. In the meantime I will see if I can't locate the info for you. _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine.

If I remember correctly, I think the screw that you lost is one of two. Check the hole and see if another one is in there. That first one is just a "cheater" lock screw. Be careful when you adjust that trigger. If you go too light, the safety won't work.

There are 2 set screw adjustments, one for trigger and the other one is for sear engagement. They are probably the same screw but I would rather not mess with the sear unless I HAVE too! thanks for the help! | |||

Run a magnet over the "lost screw" area. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

You will need a lighter spring if you want to go very low. Did the factory spring fall out also? It is directly behind the screw. ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

i polished the sear engagement and ground down the spring to reduce the pre-load on it to reduce the pull weight. The spring is slightly larger than the set screw hole so it won't fall out the bottom. With those changes and the set screw completely backed off the trigger spring (since it is missing) I have slightly over 18 Oz of pull on a 5 pull average with the Lyman trigger gauge. I will bump it up a bit with the trigger set screw tonight. | |||

Just curious, why do you want such a light trigger pull on a hunting rifle? I prefer around 3lbs. | |||
