    Trigger adjustment

    Had fun with mine too! Eventually found this on bbs and also a tip to only turn ⅛ of a turn at a time. Now very happy.

    Turn screw clockwise for heavier second stage, however if the adjustment has been reset incorrectly this may not be the case, at this point you have to get back to a base setting which does seem to confuse most people.
    It may also need some work other than adjustment as it could be as much as 15 years old.

    Trigger

    Hi Geoff, yes mine has a single Allen screw in the front of the trigger and a push forward to release safety catch inside the trigger guard. Airgun forum confirms landymicks date of 1987. Enjoy! David

    Right then i will start with clockwise rotation of said hex bolt and will go canny as they say. Mine is the version with the pull down safety in front of the trigger guard. Same as the one on the John Walters Airgun book vol 4. BTW the serial number is hand scratched in, is yours?

    Hi the trigger on your gun is not the Evo trigger, I believe it is based on the Webley omega design. A Google may reveal how to adjust. I had a Countryman with the same trigger and they can be made very nice. Atb Max

    agreed, defo not Evo, but the countryman has the safety inside the guard - well mine does. This is the pull down / outside the guard safety. Also the omega trigger is the type fitted to the SLR88 - different again!
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I love the bit "and they can be made very nice". Thats what its all about. Hope springs eternal... Just tell me how

    So forgive the lucite, but am I looking for a Webley Omega, a Theoben Countryman or an SLR88 trigger adjustment plan?
