Adjustment of an optimum sear engagement:
Make sure your rifle is not loaded. Cock
your rifle and release the trigger. Check if
the trigger releases as desired.
The sear engagement is too long:
There is a small distance between the
second stage and the release of the trigger.
•Turn set screw No. 5 clockwise after
cocking and releasing (approximately
1
/
8
turn each).
•Repeat this process until you do not feel
the second stage anymore. Then turn
1
/
5
turn back to the left (counterclock-
wise). Thus the optimum sear engagement
is adjusted.
The sear engagement is too short:
There is no second stage. The trigger
releases un-defined without second stage.
•Turn set screw No. 5 counter-clockwise
for at least
1
/
4
turn after cocking. Then
release the trigger and check if there is a
second stage. If not, repeat this proce-
dure until you feel a second stage.
•As soon as you feel a second stage
proceed according to the points of the
paragraph „The sear engagement is too
long“ to obtain an optimum sear engage-
ment.
For the adjustment of the sear engagement
for single stage triggers with set screw
No. 5 see point 7:
4. First stage (only for two-stage
triggers):
The single stage is the distance between
the trigger blade from zero position to the
second stage.
Adjustment of first stage with set screw No. 4:
•if you turn it to the right (clockwise):
first stage is shortened
•if you turn it to the left (counter-clockwise):
first stage is extended
Caution:
Set screw No. 4 (first stage) can be turned
past the second stage function. In this case
the trigger does not work anymore. Dan-
ger! Do not under no circumstances remove
the first stage completely in order to change
the two-stage trigger into a single stage
trigger.
5. Trigger stop:
The trigger stop is the distance from the se-
cond stage to the stop of the trigger blade.
Adjustment of the trigger stop with set screw
No. 8:
•if you turn it to the right (clockwise):
overtravel is shortened
•if you turn it to the left (counter-clockwise):
overtravel is extended
Attention:
The trigger stop set screw No. 8 can be
turned over the second stage or first stage
function. Malfunction (the trigger does not
release)!
