New Rekord trigger creeping

[Garry]

I bought a new 99s a couple of days ago.
The trigger creeps a bit in 2nd stage, so will it sttle down a bit as it's new, or will I have to make adjustments myself?
It's done about 200 shots so far.

The weight is ok, just not snappy.

Cheers

I would remove the unit. Flush the gunky factory grease out of it. Then let it dry and lubricate sparingly with a thin gun oil (like Express) or sewing machine oil.

Then adjust the sear engagement. It's easy to do. Cock the unit and you'll see through the little window where the sears meet. The adjuster is at the front of the bottom sear. I believe it will be a Torx. Screw in clockwise to reduce sear engagement / reduce creep. Steady as you go. Don't go too far and do "slap test" it to make sure it's safe.

Cheers Tony.
Took the unit out ok. Couldn't find any brake cleaner to flush it out, so just gave it a squirt of Power airgun oil for now. It's what I use on my TX trigger anyway.

Made some adjustment, won't be sure if it's ok till i get to a club again, but I think it'll be ok now.


Thanks again.

My pleasure. You can get a pretty good idea testing if you've dialled the creep out with the unit out of the gun.

Hopefully all will be to your liking once tested. If not, tweak a little more.They're superb units.

You can test fire it surely? ... No need to go to the range to test it !!

I did have a stupidly thick piece of wood for test shots in the flat, but lost track of it somehow. I'll sort out something else tomorrow.

For future use there are lots of ways of making cheap, effective, quiet pellet traps.....a box stuffed with rags, papers / books / catalogues bound tightly together, small (and cheap) steel pellet trap lined with plumber's mait etc. etc.

Hi Graham; hope you're keeping well, sir.

Grab a pot of plumbers putty for about a fiver - will last you ages and no chance of a ricochet indoors.

Yep, ideal for the OP's purposes. I put a fair few pellets into my pot before using it to line a steel target holder.
