I have a walnut Kibler SMR and am having a bit of difficulty with my set trigger. When I take it out of the gun, (just guess) it seems to break at about 1 lb. When I install it, it breaks at what feels like 6-8 lbs, same with the rear trigger pulled or not. When I remove the lock and apply direct pressure to the sear (?) it seems a little stiff, but not that stiff. (I know my explanation is a clear as mud). I'm guessing I should apply some transfer dye and see if anything is making contact where it shouldn't? Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to know for sure, but other than wood interference, it could be that the front trigger bar (area that contacts the sear) needs to be cut down a touch. If this is too close to the sear, it can actually push on it before the rear trigger is released from the notch. To check this, cock the lock and try to wiggle the front trigger forward and back. There should be a little bit of wiggle indicating clearance between the front trigger and sear. Probably 1/16" would be more than enough. If you keep having trouble, let me know and we'll get it sorted.

Thanks,
Jim
