Adjustment

The #4 screw is the 1st stage pull weight adjustment.

The #5 screw is known as the 2nd stage pull weight adjust-ment. It can be reached by removing the bolt and placing a 2mm hex key down through the access hole in the 4th lever. While fine tuning your 2nd stage pull weights,you may find that the 1st stage slightly increases. This is common as the #5 spring puts “back pressure” all through the entire mechanism. This can be easily remedied by taking some weight off the 1st stage.

Pull Weight Adjustment

Repeat this same procedure with the #3 screw.

Separate the rifle action from the stock, and remove the bolt from the action. Remove the existing trigger assembly from the receiver. The Model 22 trigger attaches to the Kimber 82G receiver using the original mounting screws (1/8” hex head). With the Model 22 trigger in position over the trigger slot, turn the rear mounting screw hand-tight against the trigger’s upper-frame before tightening the forward mounting screw. This ensures proper positioning of the trigger assembly on the rifle action. Tighten both screws to hold the trigger firmly to the receiver.

On target triggers with 4th lever, ensure 4th lever is placed down in trigger body when installing.

It easier to adjust the trigger with the action removed from the stock in order to observe the operation of the mechanism through the holes in the cover plate.

Carefully re-install the bolt into action closing it gently and observe if it cocks. If it does not, back #2 and #3 screws out 1-2 turns until action cocks. With the 1st lever parallel to the trigger body, gently and slowly turn #2 screw clockwise until action fires. As a starting point, back this screw out 1/4 turn. Re-cock bolt and ensure it cocks properly. If not, back #2 screw out just a fraction more.

The trigger should now be functioning minus the 1st stage travel. Cock and fire the trigger several times to insure the sear engagements feel correct and are not dangerously light. You should be able to pull up against the 2nd stage and feel the hard stop. It should take a deliberate effort to fire the trigger from this point.

BackgroundThe XTSP Model 22 Trigger for the Kimber 82G rifle is a true two-stage trigger which allows for user adjustment of sear engagement, 1st & 2nd stage pull weights, and 1st stage travel. It will perform reliably when set with a minimum cumulative pull weight of approximately 9oz (0.56lb). It does not have provision for a safety mechanism.

Remove the trigger guard from the stock. Replace the factory front and rear trigger guard plates found underneath the guard with the shortened ones included with your Model 22 trigger. Reattach the trigger guard.

Due to the design of the Kimber 82G rifle receiver, 2nd stage pull weight adjustment can only be done with the trigger separated from the action. Access to the 1st stage pull weight screw and 1st & 2nd stage sear engagement screws requires at least the removal of the trigger guard from the stock. The rifle action must be removed from the stock in order to access the 1st stage travel adjustment screw.
