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

turn each).

•Repeat this process until you do not feel

the second stage anymore. Then turn

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

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)!
