Tuning the AirArms CD Trigger

[mikemorton]

OK chaps, this is a really basic question in which I expose my lack of DIY skills and blokeness:

What tool do I need to drive out those pins neatly?

I'm also looking for something (same tool I guess?) to get the pins out of my Sako Finnfire bolt so I can disassemble it.

TIA

autosol is embeding i think, there are better kinds of polishes from toolmakers/gunsmith supply stores. (like Brownells)

I read somewhere that it was a 3mm pin punch to drive out the trigger pins.

Best,

Hi any tips on adjusting a TX SR trigger.

[rockdrill]

The SR trigger is the same unit, only the blade set up is different.

Just a short note, I found site on the web a year or two ago which went into great detail about tuning an AA S410 trigger , its excellent and I'm sure it was colgate toothpaste I used for polishing my sears as recommended by the site. So search the web for Air Arms S410 trigger tuning and it'll cover everything needed.

Sounds like a good fettle for my TX, I could even use the polishing kit I use for my bike alloy.

People rave about the Rekord trigger, but the CD is better when fettled,

Common thing, the standard item 'tuned up' is often better than the more expensive replacement.

Great pics and not too bad to do cheers for the info

People say not to use nails to drive pins out, as the nails are pointed and flare the end of the pin, but they are fine if you grind the point off squarely

But you can buy a set of pin punches from the bay for £7.00 inc postage. I did last week.

Anyway, I stripped my CD trigger unit yesterday and gave the bits a good old polish. I'm a bit of a mechanical noob but I guess I'm not the only one on here. After reassembling I couldn't get the gun to cock. I posted a query about this last night on the main forum and received two helpful replies - I thought I'd pass on my comments.

First of all, is it worth doing?
Definitely!
The trigger is a totally different beast now. Light and precise first stage coming to a clearly defined stop before second stage - it's beautiful!

Two pitfalls I found:
1. Make sure you approximate the same or similar trigger-weight when putting your unit back together. If you follow this guide you will be removing the trigger-weight screw, so make a note of it's position so that you can copy it when reassembling.
2. Make sure the safety button is relocated correctly. Both factors can influence how the gun cocks.

Thanks everyone.

Another rather basic newbie question.
What product would you re-lube this with?
And where would you put it?
