Remington AM 77 Trigger etc

Well, I tore the 77 in half (the receiver that is) and played with the trigger. I bent the torsion spring on the trigger to adjust the pull weight and to get it aligned better with the face.
I also replaced the sear spring with a lighter/thinner wire spring and then moly'd the whole group of pins and parts. The sear and the trigger contact surfaces actually look 10 times better/smoother than a Cros 2240 or 1377. The trigger looks like an investment casting and the sear appeared stamped but, not stamped as in MUNCHED like the 2240's are, it had a very decent and smooth contact surface, someone has a new shear-tool at Crosman/China.
Anyway, the previous drag/no-lube is now gone, the torsion spring winding noise...gone and, the trigger weight and sear resistance are probably half of where they were as stock.
This is one fun shooter if you like one-hole paper targets at 20 meters! And, if you are taking this or your Cros 2100 apart, take it apart from the BB slide/spring side, i.e., leave all the parts in the other side opposite the screws. Surprisingly, nothing went flying nor fell apart when I opened it up.
PS mine likes Gamo Match cheap-o pellets, that's a plus too.

I see pyramd air report on the daily blog is doing a three part review of the 2100. They say the trigger breaks ats 4.10 oz to 4.12 oz. Looking forward to the accuraccy test. They do have a long trigger pull.

I'll check out PA. I put a fish-scale on my trigger after the rework and lube, breaks about 2.5 pounds now, that torsion spring on the trigger was designed by a lawyer!
PS I don't know about Gaylord's 2100 but, my Remington 77 pumps very easily compared to my Benji 397. He says the 2100 is the same or more effort than the Benji!? That would be hard to do!

Gaylord usually puts the gun butt down on a bath scale then closes the pump handle.

Yeah I'm with you guys, I don't see how the 2100 pumps are near or as hard/difficult as a sheridan or benji pumper. Its definitely much easier.
The main benefit on those benji/sheridans is the bolt. Much easier to load pellets into. At least that has been my experience.

I have found that holding the gun on it's side, muzzle pointing about 10 degrees down and the receiver "rolled over" about 10 or 15 degrees let's me drop pellets in with about 80% chance of them lining up nose first in that little valley.
