the highest position (turn it by 180
°
and fix
it then). To do this you need a 2 mm hex
key and perhaps tweezers.
•if you turn it to the left (counter-clockwise):
You release the screw
•if you turn it to the right (clockwise):
You tighten the screw
Attention:
Please ensure the trigger cam is positioned
correctly. Be very careful tightening the
small cam screw as it is easily broken!
Please check the sear engagement accor-
ding to paragraph No. 3 when you have
finished this process. It might have to be
adjusted as well. The precise adjustments
of the trigger weight and first stage weight
are carried out with the set screws No. 10
(trigger weight) and No.9 (first stage weight).
2. First stage weight (only for two-stage
triggers)
Adjust first stage weight with set screw
No. 9 (black screw):
•if you turn it to the right (clockwise):
first stage weight is increased (+)
•if you turn it to the left (counter-clockwise):
first stage weight is decreased (-)
Trigger weight and first stage weight
depend on each other with regard to the
mechanic mechanism. If one of them is
changed there will always be a corres-
ponding change of the other as well.
Attention:
Do not reduce either trigger weight screw
to zero or lower as the trigger pull may
become erratic.
3. Sear engagement
The sear engagement is the distance bet-
ween the second stage and the release of
the trigger.
Important note:
To protect your precise trigger and to
guarantee perfect operation you should
always close the action carefully. If the sear
engagement of single stage triggers is too
small and the trigger weight is too low or if
the first stage of two-stage triggers is too
short, the trigger might release inadvertently
by a sudden impact or too powerful closing
of the action if the rifle is loaded and not in
the ”safe“ position.
Adjustment of the sear engagement for two-
stage triggers with set screw No. 5:
•if you turn it to the right (clockwise):
sear engagement is shortened
•if you turn it to the left (counter-clockwise):
sear engagement is extended
