What exactly does this over travel screw do and what do I look for when adjusting it?
(Lol I kinda like when guns I'm not experienced with break... When I fix them I end up quite familiar with the design lol)

Your part numbers are correct. I don't know if it is adjustable on the TM trigger now that I think about it as I only ever had that issue with one of my Nova ones. As for what it does- It basically shortens the distance the trigger travels after the hammer releases so there is less distance for the trigger to travel on the return stroke= faster follow up shots. Over adjustment will stop the trigger from going back far enough to release the sear at all. If it's adjusted too close to "0" overtravel then you have the issue you've been having, especially if the screw is actually loose. Over bending the spring will sometimes solve the problem but I've found it to be a temporary fix if the issue is actually a trigger linkage one. If gm4-69 is slightly bent wich is quite possible if it was lying around in a bag the issue will return in time and repeatedly bending the spring to compensate for it being stiff will weaken it (the spring) over time.
