Two VERY different trigger groups are used on Crosman break barrel rifles. Mike doesn't appear to specify which type he's covering in his post but it appears he's dealing with the NP2 trigger pack. I find it a far nicer package than the trigger group used in the earlier (and still produced) NP series of guns. In fact it can be retrofitted to those older guns as a direct replacement. If you substitute a too light spring in the NP2 trigger pack the sear may fail to engage the piston resulting in a gun which will not cock. Use much caution when dealing with triggers.
BTW.... I hope the OP don't feel like I'm hijacking. I think this info goes along with his post.
Thomas... I just picked up an NP2 Elite. It has a very long second stage. What would you suggest to lighten and shorten that second stage?
...I think my still boxed Crosman Summit Ranger might be the newer style trigger.
Hi Dan...Is that not backwards of what the instructions from the manual says?
