Mossberg MVP User Manual

Page 5

Your firearm may be equipped with Mossberg’s revolutionary “Lightning Bolt

Action” Trigger System (Patent Pending), an adjustable trigger system that allows

you to safely adjust the trigger pull of your firearm from 2 to 7 pounds (approxi-

mately). Your firearm is shipped with the trigger pull set at the factory minimum. You

can adjust the trigger pull by turning the Trigger Pull Adjusting Screw (See Figures

2-1, 2-2, 2-3) clockwise (to increase trigger pull) or counterclockwise (to decrease

trigger pull).

BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO ADJUST YOUR TRIGGER

PULL, VISUALLY AND PHYSICALLY INSPECT THE CHAMBER AND

MAGAZINE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED.

KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AT ALL

TIMES!!

To Adjust Your Trigger Pull

Remove the stock by removing the front and rear action screws. Lift the action out

of the stock. Adjust the trigger pull by turning the Trigger Pull Adjusting Screw clock-

wise (See Figure 2-2) to increase trigger pull, or counterclockwise (See Figure 2-3) to

decrease trigger pull. The Trigger Pull Adjusting Screw incorporates a nylon patch

that provides resistance while turning the screw for adjustment. This is normal and

to be expected.

Do not remove the Trigger Pull Adjusting Screw or the Adjusting

Spring from the trigger housing. The components may get lost and trigger pull

adjustment will not be possible. Reinstall the action into the stock and tighten the

front first, and then the rear, action screws. With your firearm pointed in a safe direc-

tion, visually and physically inspect the chamber and magazine to make sure that

your firearm is unloaded. Then, using the instructions provided in this manual, per-

form a complete function test (see the “Function Testing” section of your owner’s

manual). If the trigger pull is not to your satisfaction, repeat the above procedure until

satisfactory results are obtained.

No other trigger adjustments are provided. In order to avoid serious

personal injury to you or those around you, no other changes, alter-

ations, or adjustments should be made to the trigger system.
