Picked up an old 73 at an auction. The question that I have is next to the trigger is a very small bolt that I believe is to adjust the trigger. Any info would be helpful. Have taken completely apart and cleaned.

  If there is a "bolt" next to the trigger, something is not right. If it is actually a "slotted screw", then that is a good indication that it is a set trigger. Posting a few pictures of it would solve the mystery.

  Your set trigger, with the small adjusting screw, should look like this.

  It looks just like you picture. Are these worth any more than the non set trigger. Thanks

  The set trigger is a Winchester special order item.
  Providing condition is unaltered, any Winchester special order items, sights, magazine or barrel length, butt plate, wood or set trigger, will increase the rifle's value.
