Any chance this is an adjustment for the hammer spring? Have you taken out the trigger assembly? If so, any apparent adjustments other than the trigger shoe position? I've not had mine apart yet, been to busy with work! There's a threaded spring tensioner in that silver plug. Trigger does have a sear adjustment and I believe a first stage take up.I pulled the stock and turned in that Hammer Spring Tensioner 1 full turn, increased average FPS from 874.8 to 901.2 using 18.13 grain JSB's. I think I'll keep it right there for now.I did see a small 2mm screw just in front of the trigger guard, but didn't see any other adjustment that were readily accessible. Do you know what this adjustment does? I hate to mess with anything without know what it does, especially when messing with the trigger! That should be the second stage sear engagement.

I guess I'll play with it some tomorrow. Any idea which direction to turn it to turn it to reduce the engagement?

Earlier today I hand rubbed 2 light coats of Minwax Red Oak right over the top of the existing factory finish, and so far I am very pleased with the results... maybe I didn’t win the wood lottery, but I still think it’s pretty! 😍
Dave,Looks elegant, simple yet rich.LMK when you want to get into the trigger mechanics and see what improvements can be coaxed out Scott
Well it's Friday, there won't be a better day to order another one of the Crosman guns...
How does the adjustable cheekpiece feel on these guns? It looks super short - does it feel comfortable?
