    Thompson/center compass

    I have a compass utility and have been watching a videos on ways to adjust the trigger. Some state their method will not pass the drop test. I was wondering what some others experience has been.
    Thanks

    I am pretty sure its a one has normal trigger. I think the two has a trigger like the savage acutrigger.

    My compass came out of the box with a 4.5 lb trigger which is perfect for a hunting rifle, mine is a 308(1/12 twist). It does this at 100 yards with a 3-9 vortex scope

    I removed one of the adjustment nuts on mine, and it wouldn’t pass the drop test. I installed a small washer in place of the nut that I removed, and it resulted in a nice light trigger that passes the drop test just fine. FYI, the spring from a Winchester Model 70 will work in place of the T/C trigger spring, and give you a lighter pull. They are available in several weights, as well.
