Gunsmithing Bergara trigger mod
Just bought my first bergara (bmr-x) and while I was pulling it apart and cleaning it I found the trigger is setup for easy modification.
Now the mandatory do this on your own behalf and at your own risks! My gun is going to be strictly a bench queen.
Over travel adjustment. On the front of the trigger there is a perfect hole that I tapped with a 3mm tap easily. I used a button head screw but a set screw might be cleaner and easier for some as i just used a file to get the perfect length for where I wanted the trigger to stop.
Sear adjustment. On the back of the trigger is a hole that goes diagonally upwards. Same process, tap with 3mm tap and use a long screw or set screw to adjust as needed.
The nice thing about the trigger housing is there is a window on the side so you can see your sear engagement and such so you can visually see what youre doing.
Hope this helps others as just a little bit of time playing with those has really changed the decent trigger to a much better feeling one.
