362 trigger adjustment screws added

[Back_Roads]

 The 2260 trigger pack has the pockets for the screws FYI. Not sure if it is the same part # as the Disco though. but fits the 362.

I assume you just have to drill and tap a hole like is found on the c362 trigger housing?

Ordered from Crosman,  just the frame and cover would be very inexpensive too. I will check that out... thanks James 😎.

Discover, Maximus, 2260 use the same trigger case   --    Part number 262B001

Have you confirmed that it fits the 362?

I'm going to use a small hone stone on my trigger mecha today, I'll be taking it apart again to try out a modified 2240 bolt probe and do some chrony numbers on it, probably later I'll do some lucky 13 target shooting with it too.

I just checked the EVP and it looks to be exact both internally and externally except that it has the raised areas for the adjustment screws. It also looks like the mounting hole for the stock is already in the front housing. I asked them if this came with the cover and adjustment screws and she said...  "it says complete casing". I don't know if that really means the cover and screws, but I am going to find out. It was $3.55. I paid more for shipping ($4.00) but still... $7.55 total is well worth having a closer look at.

Indeed.

I have one or 2 of those on various 'lego' builds... I guess I should have a look as well.

Hmmmm that's VERY interesting, I plan on calling Crosman soon to order some parts for a few different guns, I've already downloaded the EVP manual for the 2260 and I'll include that as well.  That's one thing that I've always enjoyed and liked is the fact you can actually talk to a human being on the phone to take you're order, it's always been a pleasant experience dealing with Crosman that way.

[avator]

Yes Sir, along with cheap and fast shipping. Crosman is to parts as PA is to pellet packing...

They are awesomely nice people  . You just can beat their prices either, and with so many of their parts cross-working with so many of their guns... it is win-win. I really love lego guns, lol.

I think that the 2260/Disco frame would work, but be aware that it's made of plastic, and the 362 frame is cast metal. I prefer metal when possible, but the plastic has worked fine for years.

Thanks for the heads up  . I was not aware that it was plastic. It was cheap, probably why, but worth looking at.

I'm gonna re- tap the original for 6-32 and revisit strengthening options.

Still curious and interesting that after years of the plastic molded trigger case (2260, Discovery, Maximus), there is a change to die-cast metal on the 362 but without the area that can be drilled and taped for adjustment screws.

Probably a new supplier which made Crosman an offer they could not resist.

Pot metal/zamak looks great powder-coated.

I found that very strange as well. Especially on what is really a budget gun.

Haven't got the 2260 frame kit yet, but went back to the original one. I re-tapped the two holes for 6-32 and put in proper set screws. The 6-32 set screws are much more stable for the thin back wall and I believe they will be fine with long term use. They do not wiggle around near as much, and the shorter ones I used both went in below the rib line when adjusted. I looked at using an aluminum reinforcement, cut to fit and JB welded in. I looked at some other alternatives for this as well. Anything put on the inside with the lower screw would have interfered with the trigger spring, so those ideas were a no go.

The reality is, options are limited. Many of you have some great ideas which will probably work better than this. This was the best I could come up with. It works well and it allows the option for using the Baker trigger with the bigger spring behind it, or the original spring below with the triggers that have the nub.

Our wifi is down due to weather. As soon as it is up again, I have a picture to post that shows how this turned out.

And here with the Baker Brass trigger...


This was interesting. I was able to slip the Baker lighter spring over the set screw and use the set screw as a guide. The set screw and the spring seemed to be "made for each other". I worked the trigger a number of times and there was no binding nor did the spring come off the back edge of the trigger. I also tried this with a lighter valve spring clipped down to size and it also worked perfectly. I went with the Baker spring. I did some polishing of the sear and shimmed the sideways slop out of it, oiled the pins and adjusted the screws... very smooth!

Almost forgot... The MAP trigger by itself would be a drop-in replacement with the correct spring in the correct location.  This gives three options to the stock trigger group.

This will be a good backup in case anything ever happens with my MAP trigger group. 

This is a wrap for me... it works.

Good job Robert... thanks for your efforts.
