Gamo Compact trigger mods

[Snooper601]

Hi Guys,

After receiving a PM from Paddy I thought I would post a link that Nige made, to some mods for the Gamo Compact trigger that make it actually work, as can be seen from my personal results with mine.

BTW I have only done the screw hole depth not the spring adjuster, and I added 40g to the underside of the front end.

Have fun

Hi John,

Was it you who posted about this before?

I've done the trigger mod, and am in the process of doing the spring adjuster..... I'll let you know how I get on.

Can't honestly see a reason to do the power mod as it's only a target pistol, don't need the extra IMO.

Glad I could have been of help, have fun

It was a post that Nige did some time ago on the original Gamo pistol comp thread. But I had made a shortcut to it and pasted direct from the bookmark.

Belated thanks Nige, it really worked for me, just wait till you see this months comp results

Cheers

If you have access to a spring kit (available from places like RS) simply changing the spring for a lighter one is an easier way of lightening the trigger.
If you are a magpie like me, check out your spares box, I never throw a usable spring away. The free length doesn't necessarily have to be the same, for example here are some pics of the same mod done on a Webley Nemesis
These are the springs, original on the left.
The original in situ
and the new one fitted.

This simple mod took about a minute to do and has transformed the trigger on the Nemesis.

ooo I bought a spring kit from Aldi a few weeks ago, thanks for the idea Jef

Good buy, Andy, spare springs are always useful to have around. That should enable you to try a few different ones to get it exactly as you want. Big advantage is.....
.....no surgery to the gun, preserving its value.
Have fun playing.

Ho hum, the curse of the fiddler.
I was lucky, mine came to me as a virgin and all I had to do was a little polish of the sears, change the spring and I turned up a custom screw to fit the adjuster. I still have the original screw and spring so I can reverse the mods with virtually no trace left. Same with both my Nemesises (Nemesi?), just a spring change and a little polish of the sliding sear surfaces, instantly reversible.

It made me sad, at first: but then, happy! to see this post.
