Check for and remove the lawyer spring in the trigger assembly? That made a huge difference in my Gen 1 Mrod. Don't have a Gen 2 to play with, but I am sure there is still one in there somewhere.

I removed the lawyer spring from my Gen-1 a couple years ago. Made a big difference! Took a little while to get used to the much lighter trigger pull, but it was well worth it. I highly recommend it.

ah, forgot about that spring, will have to check for it. Unlucky for me I think the scope I took off my hatsan is broken, dont think the elevation is working so I wont be able to really play with the gun until I order a new scope

I think you will find the Gen II trigger better than expected and definitely better than the Gen I Marauder

I have it ok now, unscrewed the pull weight as much as I could and played with the second stage more. Still kinda heavy coming from my disco. will have to open it up and bend that spring if its in there.

Surprised at how beefy the .25 is compared to a .22 pellet, looks like it will really lay them out.

I've seen no difference in the Gen I and Gen II Marauder rifle triggers - both are really good when adjusted properly and after the lawyer spring has been removed.

Now the Marauder Pistol trigger is nothing special....

Can you just pull the spring out or does it need the bend straighten out? thought it acted as a spacer as well?

WeeHeavy · « **Reply #66 on:** September 05, 2015, 02:27:15 PM »

My recollection is that the spring gets straightened out and placed back in the trigger group where it came from. I know I put mine back in after straightening. Pretty sure that applies to the Gen 2 trigger as well.

Jr_Explorer · « **Reply #67 on:** September 05, 2015, 02:38:47 PM »

Is the trigger REALLY 10 lbs or are you just saying it's heavier than you like?!? A 10 lb. MArauder trigger would almost mean something is wrong in there!

Here is the YouTube vid on the Lawyer Spring work.

Habanero69er · « **Reply #68 on:** September 05, 2015, 04:55:02 PM »

Yeah, something is definitely not right if you think it's 10lbs. Even before removing the lawyer spring from mine, it was no where near that heavy. Maybe 2 to 2-1/2lbs.

RayK · « **Reply #69 on:** September 05, 2015, 09:45:17 PM »

I pull out the lawyer spring, clip off both arms, then put it back as a spacer. I'm never going to put a lawyer spring back in....

Some use a delrin spacer like those used on other pins in the trigger housing.

not actually 10 pounds (dont have a gaudge so idk) but very heavy. Better after I adjusted it but im still going to mod the spring and get it like my disco trigger

My scope is broken as well, I knew i should have ordered a scope with the gun. Thats two scopes the hatsan has killed off now, guessing leapers isnt the brand for magnum springers. On a positive note the hatsan might not be as inaccurate as I believed.

So hopefully I can find a decent one local tomorrow or ill order one. Kinda want to try out leapers swat 4-16x

on another note, man this gun likes its air haha. need to start saving for a tank

William · « **Reply #71 on:** September 06, 2015, 01:29:32 AM »

I'm with you on the saving for a tank, when i got my Mrod I had only a pump and after the first month that was enough for me, that pump went straight to the corner and I went down to the dive shop and got me a tank. I also ordered a 4500 PSI 90 CI tank from PA. Never again will I pump up another AG, I also a few months or so after that purchased a Omega 4500 PSI compressor. If you shoot that Marauder much that pump will wear you thin on patients thats for sure!
I ended up selling my Mrod and Pump but wish I still had the Mrod .25. Really loved that gun, very accurate and deadly on small to medium game thats for sure.

I also did the Lawyer Spring mod on it and cut the trigger pull over 50%.

Good luck and happy shooting.

problem is I dont think I have anyplace local that can fill it. Im pretty far from the sea and dont think think there is a paintball place near by.

Hmm what do ya Know over 100 miles away never noticed before...

Check with your local fire departments.

Broke her in today, through on a crappy scope that came with my hatsan and sighted it in a 25yds.

Walked arund the woods for a little and took a decent sized red squirrel. 26 yards according to the range finder and put a exact into the lungs.

So far im happy with the results and impressed with how loud the impact is after these blow through the animal. Way louder then the gun. Also happy with how it holds free hand. Forgot my bipod today so I had to take the squirrel free hand.

For the heck of it I shot a can at 60 yds, not a mill dot scope for I just aimed a few inches over and nailed it. Really cant wait to see what the gun does when I actual rest and a real scope

Need to do that trigger mod for sure but want to much sure its a keeper after some range time. Assuming messing with that spring will void the warranty?

sawtoothscream · « **Reply #79 on:** September 06, 2015, 03:40:49 PM »

Well I couldnt do it anymore, shot the disco again and i just cant do without that nice smooth trigger. Went ahead and fixed the mrod trigger and man it feels good.
