    T06 trigger videos, how do they compare with the construction of a Rekord?

    Just wondering what you guys thought about the T06 trigger, some call it the gunsmiths trigger and some don't like it or haven't seen it but is any better than the
    CD or Rekord, anyway have a look and perhaps give a opinion

    Personally I find its a good trigger if not a very difficult one to set up properly.

    No match for the CD which is far better in all respects.

    The setup vid by Tony produces variable results. Even talking through the adjustment with Tony on the phone was not easy. I found the 280 easier to set up than the 52 as there's less room in the 52 trigger guard.

    The best T06 i had was a 280 that my son has now claimed. It had longer adjustment screws which made it a hell of a lot better.

    Just on the "bending the tab" thing. I found a simple o ring around the tab was far better than bending the alloy tab which fractures easily.

    Looks far too complicated, compared to the CD or Rekord. I also can't believe that tiny little hook thing, or it's pin, will hold up to a 48/52/54, in FAC, for very long.

    It's not the nicest trigger to work on, when I had to replace the sear, you had to nearly take all the mechanism apart as it's buried in the middle and there's all sorts of clips and bits floating about, as a trigger unit I like it but not as good as the CD.

    Just in terms of construction, I'm no fan of the alloy cage on the T06.
    In an uncocked state, the pins are all very loose.

    Why they've never adopted a type of trigger like the CD or Rekord beggars belief.
    Its almost like they started barking up the wrong tree with triggers, years ago and have kept barking their nuts off ever since

    Just think wow many T06 triggers are fitted to very powerful guns like the 350 with its huge spring and the powerful 350 N-tec plus the 460/70 How many hooks and pins have you heard of not holding up in the past 8 years.

    I am finding a bit hard to understand why some of you think that the T06 is complicated when you can take it to bits and reassemble in about three and half minutes without any tools

    could you do that with a CD or Rekord in the same time?

    I don't think the t06 is complicated, just hard to get the adjustment right. In reality its quite an agricultural, cheap trigger.
    Not helped by the huge first stage, limited trigger weight adjustment and stock types (reach to trigger) that it comes in.

    Well he's obviously had plenty of practice as trying to get the sear in is a right ball ache and then getting the pin through.

    I've never had to strip the CD trigger as I've never had anything break in it, unlike the Diana sear.

    I think some T06 triggers must just be lemons because some of us seem to be able to adjust them without any problem
    What part do you think is agricultural?

    Genuine question . How many Rekord or CD trigger setups have had broken sears ?

    http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....-DIana-trigger

    Yes we know about the HW cocking links breaking. This thread is about triggers

    I have not heard of one but I don't think that you would have heard of a broken t06 if I had not told you about it that one.

    Yes , we may never have known about the latch rods coming out of the pistons either if you had not posted. Or we could use the Diana forums and see for ourselves

    If there is a genuine fault its worth posting but i'm not sure that the one picture of a broken hook is a genuine fault, a lot of HW shooters was unaware of the fault with the cocking link on the underlevers that have no ABT and there have been lots of pictures of broken and cracked links also mentioned in a airgunworld mag article, that is more like a genuine fault.

    T06 Diana trigger unit is a very good trigger unit but it will never be a match for the HW record unit its years old but still the bench mark spring airgun trigger unit.

    I had 4 here earlier this year. 3x 280s and 1 52.
    I only managed to adjust 1 satisfactorily
    by agricultural I meant simple and cheaply designed, not rough
    No Barry I haven't read that. I only have one of the 280's left and its spot on. I don't need to read any more on it.

    No point asking provocative questions and getting the hump when responses don't suit.
