stage. If not, repeat this procedure until
you feel a second stage.
•As soon as you feel a second stage
proceed according to the points of the

Adjustment of the optimum sear
engagement for assembled
single stage

turn to the left.
Warning:
Single stage triggers are very sensitive and
must be operated with special care.
The sear engagement of 5 /
100

tained after the action is closed. In
combination with a minimum trigger weight
there might be a malfunction and an
increased risk (independent shot
release).
3. Malfunctions of the trigger due to
wrong adjustment procedure
If the trigger is not adjusted correctly mal-
functions may occur, tampering with the
trigger adjustments will not result in any
success. Therefore proceed as follows:
After every change the function of the
trigger must be checked. When the
malfunction is removed check the desired
trigger values and adjust them again if
necessary.
The trigger catches the cocking piston or
firing pin, but the trigger does not release:
•Make sure that the safety of the trigger is
released.
The trigger does not catch the cocking
piston or firing pin:
•The first stage trigger is adjusted too
tightly.
•Turn set screw No. 1 approx. 1-2 turns to
the left. Procede according to par. 2.
4. Safety
There is a safety lever at the right side of
the trigger. Please see chapter „Cocking,
loading and safety operation“.
