If a longer front screw is used and screwed in to the point that the gun will not stay cocked, can the screw just be backed out and the gun will again cock?
I picked up the 3 pack of screws today. I took the factory screw out and put the longer screw in. I then took the gun and loaded a pellet. I took the safety off placed my finger behind the trigger and started running the screw in until the gun fired. I backed the screw out 1/4 turn and dropped it on the but plate. It fired. I backed the screw out another 1/4 turn and dropped it on the butt plate and the gun fired. I backed the screw out another 1/4 turn and dropped it on the but plate and it did not fire. I dropped it hard enough that the safety would reset to safe. I was dropping it with the safety off.I shot the gun a few times and the trigger had no movement and very little pressure was required to fire the gun. I decided to see if the gun would fire with the safety on and it did. I had to back the screw out another 1/2 turn for the safety to work. This is the final position that I left the screw in. The trigger now has maybe 1/32" of travel and very little pressure is required to get the trigger to fire. This is very acceptable to me. There is no perceivable movement of the gun caused my trigger finger pressure when the gun fires.I did always load a pellet before testing the gun so it was never dry fired.The screw is backed out a total of 1 1/4 turns from the point that it fired while I was holding the trigger forward.I look forward to any other comments.
When you back out the second screw does it affect anything beside the length of the first stage?
