Tempest trigger tuning

[thisisdonald]

Donald, I might be loosing it but, did I read a thread some time back about you asking an Aussie company to make a custom piston seal for a Tempest? If so, did you, and any feedback on them you can share?

Cheers,

Tom

Tom... sorry for the late reply.. I didn't see it till now.. no I didn't get the seal.. I'll try again.. they wanted me to do a cad drawing of it using some free software and I couldn't get my head round it... u sacked it off and got a spring and PTFE seal from protek

Out of curiousity, has anybody had a go at this yet? What did you reckon to the results?

I didn't reprifile any if the seats but I did polish them on a wheel and shorten the trigger spring - well worth it... a lot lighter now and it really helps accuracy... breathed some life back into my favourite boyhood gun!!!

Has anyone tried this yet?What did you reckoon to the results?
I know one person who did it on a Hurricane and then a tempest and cannot believe the difference.

Hi Guy,
I did this trigger tune on my Tempest and Hurricane with great results.
Both are light and crisp.
The two extra faces to polish and reducing the ‘bump’ seem to be a definite improvement on the usual obvious polishing most people reccomend.

From memory I kept working on them, reassembling and testing two or three times till I got them where I wanted, so I didn’t over do it.

Very pleased with the results, Hurricane has Beeman target grips and with a nice trigger is really accurate.

Thanks Matt. Orignally I sent a "tuned " trigger up to a mate and then he worked on his until it was the same. He reckoned about 20-25 minutes in total. He said the first time he didnt even fire the gun, just cocked and released it, knowing he had to do more. Obviously it is harder when you dont know how far you can go with it.
It is always nice to know someone has had a result with some of these things
