Any Rekord trigger experts in?

2nd stage is governed by a small grubscrew in front of the trigger, you’ll need the stock
Off. I’d start by winding it out half a turn. If you remove the entire trigger assembly from the action you can cock it and see how much it’s engaged through a viewing hole in the side plate.

[p.j.]

I prefer to set them up off the gun, that way you can safely cock the trigger and fire.
The little torx screw at the front determines second stage engagement, there is locking compound on these from new,so can be difficult to turn. By adjusting this you should be able to eliminate the trigger creep if present.
The larger alloy screw at the back gives the trigger blade a bit more resistance, screw out too far and the trigger will be flapping about.

I've just been and tried it again
It's like pulling a pillow through a barbed wire fence.
It really is bad.
Just one heavy stage and "bang" at some point.
I'll pull it apart again and see what the sear engagement looks like
What a shame it was going so well

I had a Rekord that was like that: the first stage pin in the trigger had dropped out. The trigger blades themselves aren't made of great material.

Yuo can see the pins in this animation:

The only way to check is to remove the trigger by knocking out the trigger pivot pin. If they have fallen out then it's a new blade to fix it.

Thanks I will certainly check that. Something feels very wrong here

Firstly, does the trigger feel worse now than before working on the gun? If so, it may be that the sear at the bottom is catching on some stock material. Maybe? Also, are the trigger guard retaining screws screwed up too tight? Slacken them off a little and see how it feels.

Also, remove the trigger unit and give it a good soaking in some degreaser / solvent. It may be that the gunky original factory grease is still in there and gone well hard and even more gunky. Allow to drain and dry and then apply a little light machine / gun oil.

Then.....that small grub screw at the front bottom.....as stated above it controls the second sear engagement. Screwing it in, clockwise, lightens it. Only do it in tiny increments and keep checking that there is solid engagement through the hole as above.

The larger allow screw behind the blade controls the weight on the spring. Again, as described above, don't screw it out TOO far as the trigger will go floppy.

Great advice up above re doing many of the adjustments with the unit out of the gun, but don't be tempted to go too light. A safe, consistent and dependable trigger is what you want and not an unsafe / overlight / unpredictable one.

Hope this helps and be sure to report back in.

Don't know if you're on Facebook but there's a lad on there that is a wizz with the Rekord unit, He's called Luke Jolly and will service them and make them soooo smooth!!

He's also a nice lad too unlike half of the eejits on there that force advice on things they've clearly never used or owned!!

I think you'll find it's the trigger tension spring that sits under the alloy screw behind the trigger.

When overtightened for a protracted period the spring crushes, deforms and becomes ineffective.

If the sear engagement is out if adjustment as a singular fault you still get a distinct second stage but there's creep into the second stage until the sear releases.

Any problems pm me and I'll chat it over with you.

+1 for Luke Jolly... he showed me how to tune the rekord trigger a couple years ago.. he really devoted a lot of time and effort to these triggers. I wouldn't hesitate to send him my trigger for a tune/rework... like John said, get him through Facebook.

I'm guessing the thread locks well gone
Someone's proper messed with this.
I wouldn't say there's anything but creep with this trigger
