Found a really nice one at a local pawn, and there's not much to fuss about save for the trigger. Even at that, it's really the pull weight most of all.
Once I get enough oomph against it, it breaks nice, and I am seeing potential with several pellets.
Anyone know of any links on this subject? My search-fu is weak, LOL.
Domer, thanks for the being the first to respond. That pic looks a lot like the BSA Meteor assembly. However, there's only ONE pin hole that fits those four, and that's atop the trigger. Is anything else at risk of falling out/loose if I remove all four as in your pic? Is the contact point your referring to JUST where those two touch in your pic, or is there a couple? Should I kink the upper leg in the middle, bringing the two ends closer together?
Thanks for any expansion/clarification, man!
Nope. That's everything inside of the trigger assembly, they're pretty simple and fairly easy to figure out just by giving it a good look and remembering the orientation of the pieces. The pins holding everything in place will give you more trouble with falling out than the trigger/sear pieces since they like to slide out on their own after you remove the action from the stock if you let the action roll over, but it's easy to get everything to line up and the pins back in place. Put some type of tape on one side and make that the bottom while you put everything in place and insert the pins. As far as polishing goes, that's the only place I polished and it's performing fine. Just squeeze the two ends of the V closer together like you said and you'll have done just about all you can. Just remember to cock the gun and really give it a few good thumps after to be sure you didn't compress the spring so far that it goes off on its own.
Basically, if you have a bit of mechanical inclination it should be a fairly easy task, but you're still messing with a trigger so be very cautious with whatever you decide to do
Thanks, and I've already been inside it and gave it a try. ..and dorked it up, LOL. 😀 Either one thing, or the other, or the combination of the two...I don't know?
First, perhaps having taken to much resistance out of the V-spring. So, I reset that back to as close to OEM as I could guesstimate. However, I'm wondering if the trigger blade spring is where I messed up. I noted that the blade itself has a heavy little spring under there. I THOUGHT it's probably just to give the illusion of a first stage....So...I removed that little dogleg spring and cut a bit off of each end. Then I thought, just leave it out altogether. I figured a little to-and-fro slop in the trigger blade wouldn't bother me. NOW....I'm wondering if that tension spring provide some sort of balance in keeping the whole thing together. So, I trying to reassemble it with the chopped wee spring...I dorked-up the trigger pin. I didn't have any pin-stock on hand that small. I'm not going to put in the effort to turn a wee little pin down, dimensionaly.
I haven't tried to order the parts from SPA yet, LOL.
I've got a bunch of extra trigger parts if you need any, pretty sure there are some pins in there. And leather seal conversion pieces assuming your piston seal is held in place with a screw and not one that just presses around a round dovetailed button, and if not I also have an extra piston with the screw too. Let me know if you want to work something out
