StonyKill's Trigger Mod

Nice post Marty. If you don't mind.... instead of the 45 degree angle.. just take some material off of the vertical plane of the sear. Leave the top at  90 degree. This will give you a much crisper snap of the trigger. Like you said... baby steps. Replacement triggers are cheap from Daisy but who wants to wait for deliver.

Bill, lost me; "instead of the 45 degree angle"? The horizontal plane of the stock sear is sloping slightly from left to right. Is the attached pic close to what you are recommending (in red) or leave the top alone & remove material from vertical plane only?  Maybe also increase the pitch of the 45 (yellow)?

  I think what Bill is saying is the vertical line in red. I have done this before.
  What you never want to do, is remove the ramp, as the horizontal red line shows. Doing this will pretty much ensure you will need a stronger spring. That slight ramp, helps give enough pressure, to pull the valve open.

Tom, thanks for pointing out the purpose of the ramp. Thought for a moment I was imagining things. It is ever so slight but it's certainly there.

As for the vertical plane; you mentioned you've done this before. Do you recommend doing this?

One last thing; is my 45 about right or should I increase this angle?

   On the vertical plane, I have only done that a few times. Found the extra care and time, to get it right, didn't net a big enough improvement in trigger performance to warrant it. Your results may vary.

   45 is just about perfect.

The files you recommended allowed me to get close & personal with the face plate. I trued up the 90 where the ramp meets the bevel. Made a world of difference. I'll tell you what; those last few passes will test your nerves!

Thanks for the help.

 Looks great. You are welcome. That is what this place is all about. Helping each other

Well, finally went out & had some fun. To say I was pleased with the rifles performance would be an understatement. I was also pleased to find, with proper bullet placement it is more than adequate for rabbit size game. I was using CPHP 7.9 gr because it's results on the range were excellent & wanted that added punch. shots were anywhere from 15 to 20 yards. I plan to do a lot more work on the bench out to 30 yards.

Very pleased with the results!
