Quote from: bhh on March 08, 2017, 08:50:57 AMThanks. I agree, trigger mods are absolutely necessary.If you had one of the "holey" receivers you could see what the trigger is doing. I change the angle on the hammer and file down the trigger sear to reduce the engagement. As always when doing trigger mods, test, test, and test again for safety.Get a couple of 1/8" drill bits and assemble the two parts on the outside of the receiver and you can see how they interact.Thanks for the tips bhh. I completed the trigger mod on our other two 880's with excellent results. Very light & predictable pulls.

In another forum (post #170) I've mentioned using a rifled 880 barrel in a Daisy Red Ryder abutment assembly, mainly was wondering if there's be any increase in accuracy beyond 25 yards. I ran into a problem when I ordered an 880 "barrel" and that part turned out to be the barrel shroud. My fault for not looking at the drawings more carefully, but that leaves me w/o a rifled barrel. Was wondering where I might source a rifled barrel having an OD of 0.260" or more, at least 11" long. The "right" model 880 part that has the barrel also includes the valve assembly, etc. and costs $12.00, so was hoping to find just the barrel from another source. Maybe Crosman p/n MK 177-010? It's supposed to be a drop in replacement for the 760, but I have no idea what the measurements are.
The drawing above is what you used for configuration #1, above? "#1- Arrow mod w/foam support above pivot pin of lever arm."It's about a wash between #1 and #4, so in your case the tape mod (w/o foam, I take it?) would seem to be just as good as the arrow mod w/foam.
sorry guys,have been checking in but havent got out to shoot. only thing im doing differently than you is im not using foam,im using a limbsaver material.(used for archery stabilizers and string silencers,its a silicone gel like substance that absorbs vibration)
