Tuning the AirArms CD Trigger

[KarlSwe]

Hi,

I have polished my CD trigger, but I'm not happy with the result. The first stage is not entirely "clean" and the trigger tends to get stuck just at the 2nd stage if the trigger is set at low pull-weight.

As I see it there can only be one contact point where the problem is. Since I have a rowan trigger with hardened screws and the metal piece where those screws make contact is mirror polished the problem has to be the other contact surface. Have i taken to much metal off (we are talking just the machining marks)? Are the edges to sharp? One theory i have is also that the surfaces are not entirely aligned with each other.

What do you think?

I'm not from GB, so please excuse my grammar

Try turning the rear trigger blade screw in(clockwise) 1/8th turn. This helps at times. It sounds like you have the travel after the first stage completely dialed out which may cause the sears to catch when they try to reset. I actually set my guns up the way your trigger is described. When I take up the first stage and try to release it the blade dangles. I use my guns for target work only, but if they were for hunting, I would add a little to the rear blade screw as well as the weight of pull screw.
