oldandslow 3 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 If you do the research and write a paper for us, then you'll really know better than 99% of us. As a quick answer, adjustable triggers typically have "set screws" that reduce the trigger "arc". That way there is very little "take up" (the distance the trigger is pulled until it meets resistance from the sear). and very little "reset" (the distance from the disconnector and the sear). So terms you need more info on are: Disconnector, Sear, reset, take up, overtravel and the various "Brand A" trigger fans arrayed against "Brand B" trigger fans. As an interesting aside, I just installed a Red Star Arms "adjustable trigger" for a fellow Saiga forum member. All of the adjusting screws had already been set with Locite. It had about the same trigger pull as the Tapco G2 (around 4 pounds). The "take up" and "reset" were dramatically shorter. Tony Rumore has just announced that he welding material to a Tapco trigger group. He reported that it took him 5 or 6 trial and error fittings to get good results.

jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 "and what about the pull in pounds" This is the measure of what it takes in pounds pull on the trigger to get the firearm to discharge. A normal carry pistol should be in the neighborhood of 3 1/2 - 4 pounds pull IMO. A target pistol may have 2 1/2 pounds trigger pull and a target rifle may have less than this. A six pound trigger pull sucks. Capiche? 1911 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaNoobie 66 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Make sure it's unloaded first! Point a gun straight up, tie a weight to it, if by slowly letting your force holding the weight up, the trigger engages and let's the hammer fly, you're trigger pull is less than that!.... Try weights until you get it between the two. This will approximate your trigger pull... that is, if you don't have a pull scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
