Magnum Airpower Trigger Group for the 362

[Spooner]

A little bit of discussion has taken place regarding whether or not it will work? It does indeed, and it works extremely well. There was no modding of any kind needed to fit it to either the pump tube, or the stock. You have to spend about 15 minutes doing something very simple though. For me... I took it to work and had a friend in our Tool Room do it. 

Side by side, the length and width are the same. The bolt pattern to mount it is the same. Except for the way it is made on the front end, This trigger group matches the dimensions needed to use it.


The 15 minutes needed to modify it to work...

Install it to the pump tube and push on the stock to the position it needs to be. Press and hold the stock firmly just as it would be bolted on. I used a pencil lead to trace around the mounting hole of the stock onto the trigger group. Remove the stock. Take the trigger group back off, tap and drill a 1/4-20 hole all the way through. THAT IS IT! 

Here it is installed...


Those of you who have used this trigger group on a Disco already know how extremely well this trigger group is made. The tolerances are fantastic and virtually no slop of any kind. IT IS NICE!!!

It is a bit on the pricey side, and you can get it in either aluminum, or a little more for one in brass. For me... It was worth it to have this kind of precision. Those of you who are looking at this as an option will have to decide for yourselves.

Look good!!

[Spooner]

It looks really nice with the black stock. Also, it is two stage, I think? Never had one before but you pull back a little and it clicks.  One more tiny squeeze and off it goes. I really like that very much!

it's a bit steep for me, but I may get one some day. For the price I would prefer that the c362 hole would already be there, but I do understand how new this gun is to the market.

I explained to him what I bought it for when I asked him in email whether or not he pre-lubed the assembly, which he did. Maybe he will add it in at some point, in the interest is there for it with this gun? Either way... it is a very simple thing to do  . Yes, it is a bit of a sticker shock for sure, but it is flawless in every way. 

Now that Avatar has shown us the "trigger only" from MAP... that would be the way to go and would be way more affordable.

Mr. B handpicked mine.

Had it Cerakoted in silver,  but I am thinking of having it plated in nickel boron like some of my rimfire and AG parts 'cuz it makes everything so smooth and good-looking.

Oh, a while back, he was selling the casing only for about $75.

He has some really nice offerings... I will be spending more time in his online store.

You can make a request of getting handpicked parts, you know.

The Disco steel breech I bought from him was excellent and so clean

BTW, the MAP trigger blade that was supplied on mine was the stainless steel version (dunno if he still has them) and not the 7075 series aluminum.

For more comfort, you can put O-rings on your trigger blade:










Forgot the size but I bought them from HF:

Thanks Rick  .
I just checked his description, and the trigger is aluminum. I also know now that this is a single stage trigger. Not sure what the "click" is just before the release point, but I like it. It gives me the point just before it fires. 

[Spooner]

I took your advice Rick . I took the stock off and found that the lower adjustment screw was backed out by a lot. It probably happened when the front frame was drilled and tapped, and I didn't pay attention to it when I installed it on the rifle. I located it back to where I need it then loctited it. The click is from engagement between the sear and hammer release. Bill said he never had one do that, but it shouldn't. Adjusting it cleared that mostly up. It just needs to break in a little.

Old thread, but I just got one of if not the last one of these, emailed him about just the trigger and he said nope, they are gone and no longer made, had a few of the full assemblies left and no longer being made, when they gone they are Gone, he had made me a deal on one from ebay and I took it, kinda hate spending that much on a cheap gun, BUT when it's all said and done it will be a real nice and custom..
Still liking yours ?

I get by with some pretty terrible triggers on my guns.  I guess I ain't as picky as some of y'all.  I think the trigger on my 362 is pretty darn good!  The trigger on my 3622 is also pretty sweet (by my standards ).  Y'all should try any French or Russian MilSurp to experience a truly terrible trigger (or any Ruger air rifle).

I had an old Mosin Nagant, it actually had a nice trigger, long pull, but soft and smooth.. oh wait.. that's because it was wore out lol
I know the 362 may not be worth it, heck I may have been happy with a worked over factory unit, but why not, I've got everything I need but my health hahaha enjoy life while you can.

That’s the spirit!  Carpe diem! One day I’m going to build a custom .270 on a Mauser action I have.  Hang the expense!  I’m gonna do it the way I want it!

 I got just the aluminum trigger housing when he had them listed separately last year on sale for about $35 along with the custom sear he sells.  It works great with a Baker Brass Trigger, two screw mod and parts from the regular Disco trigger pack that I had already.  I never would have bought the full trigger package though.  I guess with the Disco guns no longer sold he is not going to keep having these made.  I wish I had bought 2 more of the aluminum housings for my other 2 Disco tube builds back then.  I really like them.  I did get 2 of his completely custom-built power Disco valves a couple of years ago.  They really make a .25cal Disco turn up the FPS. 

[Mike71]

Well he said even if the guns was still being made he can't keep the cost ratio worth it, and now sales are way down, so he made the choice to drop them, I was holding out for just the trigger, but after the conversation I decided to go ahead and do it.

The Gen 1 MROD trigger group is also a good option and much cheaper——-well, about half the price to be exact. I have both but prefer the MAP’s hair trigger sensitivity. It also looks elegant unlike the MROD’s somewhat gangly appearance 

The GEN 1 MROD TG attaches to the 3622 w/o mods or spacers despite the substantial difference in radii, so I don’t see any reason why it won’t on a 362.

[Spooner]

That's a shame that he is not making them anymore, but understandable considering the cost. I cannibalized some parts out mine to rework the original 362 trigger but glad I got those parts bought and replaced in the trigger for my 367. Yes, a pricey trigger group to be sure, but glad it found a home on my 367 build. It is a VERY sweet trigger! I added the sear adjustment screw in front of the trigger guard and made it even sweeter. 

I did not use his custom wider sear though. It was hanging up a little, so I replaced it with a deburred and polished 13xx sear and shimmed it with shim washers for slop. It solved the issue.
