Rekord trigger service

[Portzy]

Is there anyone on here who specialises in servicing the above, (sure I've seen something but cannot find in a search). Nothing fancy needed, polishing the sears and smoothing things up etc but I'm up for suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Theres a couple of excellent videos from shootingatdawn on youtube if you fancy having a go yourself. I'd watched them several times before taking mine to bits and fettling. Trickiest part was getting back together but do everything in the right order and be patient and it slotted together ok.

As above, there have been a few tutorials that are good and informative fir those wanting to do the work themselves.
I'm not aware of anyone off-hand who you could use commercially, but would guess that Tony Wall at SFS and Lyn Lewington (venoman on the BBS), amongst others, would do it for you.

However, many are happy with just a general de-grease/de-gunk (flushing and cleaning the unit) with paraffin / GT85 etc., allowing to dry, lubing with light oil and a careful adjustment. Maybe worth a try if you haven't already done so?

I thought Luke jolly does them .atb mick

Oh yes, indeed he does.

I think he can be found on Facebook?

I did one of mine. Take your time, make notes and its pretty straight forward.
I polished the sears etc, cleaned, re-lubed, .....etc and couldn't tell the difference when I had finished from a properly set up, cleaned, re-lubed (sparingly dry graphite) un stripped one. Well, that another 2 hours of my hectic social life wasted. Now I just fit a lighter trigger spring and a Allen screw grub screw replaces the ugly standard one.

Thanks for all your replies, a kind member has offered to send me a detailed strip and rebuild guide so I will give it a go.

Is it worth adding a cross pin to the seemingly vacate hole at the top of the cage ?

[charliemow13]

I could be confused but isn't over-rotation of the top sear only an issue when the trigger unit is off the action. Sure I remember reading somewhere a cross pin at the top would only serve a useful purpose if the trigger is released lots of times when the unit is out the action as theres a risk of marking on of the other parts in the unit. But when it's in the action isn't it prevented from over-rotating by the metal above it in the block?

Thats what I also understand.

When setting up with the unit outside the action I always put a thin bar (Allen key) through this hole to stop the top sear flying up and the rollers making indentations in the lower sear.

Hello to All,

A paper-clip is a common and economical article for fitting through this hole.

When posting Rekord's, I always fit the paperclip, bent down on each side of the case.

Have fun & a good Sunday

Best regards
