Is this a Thompson Center Hawken kit? If it is a T/C, the screw is only used to adjust the "Set" trigger.

The Title says Petroceli. I've never heard of it. Maybe Pedersoli?

You may want to pull the lock off the gun and check how it functions.
The sear arm might be making contact with something inside the mortise.
If the lock works ok out of the stock, I would say to take a magic marker and sorta paint the sear, reinstall and check if the marker makes any contact with wood. Then you can sand or file any interference.

I wasn't trying to correct your spelling. I wanted to know the make, to better help you.
There are some oddball European gun makers and I had no idea if this was one of them.

p.s. How did you find the kit? I've been trying to find a Pedersoli Hawken kit for a friend of mine.

I don't know for sure, I googled adjusting the set triggers and that came up. It's from Track of the Wolf website. They might have a complete book?
