JEWEL TRIGGER HELP

Do a search on Jewell triggers instructions are not hard to find. But it is a 2 stage trigger and will have takeup till you get to the 2nd stage, the 2nd stage can be adjusted down to almost nothing and still be safe, that's one benefit of a 2 stage trigger.
 
If you're talking about the 1st stage you're stuck with that. That's how a 2-stage trigger works.

However, there is the potential to have creep when the 2nd stage brakes. There are 3 adjustment screws. Look at your manual and adjust them per the directions. The last one I bought had quite a bit of creep in the factory adjustment. After adjusting it to my taste it is amazing. However, it still has about 3/16" take up in the 1st stage

Trigger Adjustment Procedure


First stage pull weight
1. Ensure that the second or third notch in the adjustment plate has captured the long leg of the trigger return spring.

2. Pull the trigger back just far enough to detect rearward movement and verify the trigger returns fully forward. This is the minimum pull weight of the first stage (about one pound).

3. First stage pull weight may be increased by moving the spring leg to a more rearward notch in the adjustment plate to the desired weight of pull (maximum about 3 1/2 lbs.). Start with the adjustment in about the middle of the plate. Use the “L” tool for this adjustment.

Second stage sear engagement
This is a true two-stage design in that full trigger sear engagement is present until final release. Pull trigger until resistance is felt then continue pull until hammer release. The difference in trigger travel felt is second stage sear engagement. That travel (engagement) may be increased or decreased by turning adjustment screw (#12 in the attached drawing) with a .050 Allen wrench. Turning the screw in (clockwise) will reduce sear engagement; out (counter-clockwise) will increase sear engagement. Set to your preference.

Second stage weight of pull

Note: The first stage pull and second stage pull are accumulative (1st + 2nd = total)

Turn screw 11 in (clockwise) with a 1/16” Allen Wrench to increase weight of pull turn out (counter - clockwise) to decrease weight of pull. Set to your preference.

Overtravel Adjustment (Not Shown)

Note: The overtravel screw is set to minimum when received to facilitate the initial settings of stage one and stage two. The Overtravel Adjustment Screw is located on the forward right hand side of the trigger.

1. Turn the over-travel screw in (clockwise) until pulling of the trigger will not allow hammer to fall with the trigger fully pulled.

2. While continuing to keep pull pressure on the trigger, turn the over-travel screw out (counter - clockwise) until the hammer falls.

3. The hammer will not fall completely to the full fire position; it will be stopped by the trigger at 14-15E.

4. Continue to turn the over-travel screw out until the hammer falls totally forward. Turn screw out an additional 1/4 turn. This is minimum over-travel selling.
