Woodfield triggers for a Value Max or Striker

[stonykill]

 Well where everyone else has a 3 mm x .50 pitch screw, I have a short sheet metal screw. So I guess I'll work on a shoe 1st, then think about going into the deeper mod.

   Unless I'm looking at the wrong screw, it is the one directly behind the trigger with a hole in the trigger guard to adjust it.

Yep, that veryyyy small one right behind the trigger that you can barely get a phillips head screw driver on. The Tuna GRT III trigger would actually work at least on my Edge, but the trigger blade is too short. I'd have to find someone to Tig weld? some type of short extension on the end of that anodized trigger to make it long enough to pull decently.
Here's the link to show what it looks like installed and how short it is:

  Well that screw on mine is a sheet metal screw, not a metric machine screw.

I think you are still not looking at the right screw. It's located immediately BEHIND the trigger itself. I couldn't find it without removing the stock and still didn't the 1st time I looked for it. It's difficult to see. Follow the open space (or "groove") on the rear of the trigger all the way up into the trigger group and I bet you'll see the tiny Phillips head of the very small 3mm machine screw. I'm guessing the oem size is 3mmX6mm and you should replace it with a 3mmX8mm allen head (preferred) or Phillips and back it out at least one complete turn from all the way in. I'm at 1 1/8 turns out, Steve is 1 1/4 out.
Good luck!

Installed the new screws in my .25 Striker 1000 Vortex and .20 Webley VMX springer. The actual threaded portion of the screws was 7.5mm. Checked trigger pull before and after with a Wheeler mechanical trigger pull scale. Before the 1000 5 shot average was 5 lbs 5oz and the VMX 3lbs 8oz.

Cocked and loaded the guns, on safe. Laid guns across my lap pointed in a safe direction. Removed trigger guard installed new screw. Put safe on fire and screwed in until it fired and backed off 1 1/2 turns.

On the 1000 the screw went in all the way without firing. Left it all that way in. New trigger pull average 4lbs 3oz. Going to get a longer screw.

VMX fired, backed of 1 1/2 turns. New trigger pull average 2lbs 10oz. Pretty nice. Green plastic stock vibrated so bad stung my cheek. Going to fill it with old used pellets and .45cal round ball. Maybe a barrel weight/muzzle break.
 
FYI: 1000 shot Norica .25 Pointed Avg. 533fps. No pellet weight on the can. Rest of my .25 ammo hasn't arrived.

VMX pushed Beeman H&N Match W/C 10.03grs avg. 937 and JSB Exact Diabolo domed 13.73grs avg. 783fps. JSB's tight fit

Hope that was informative. If not, sorry. Later, Tim.

I just ordered 3x8mm and 3x10mm screws to tryout.

[lefteyeshot]

The VMX is good but maybe a 10 or 12mm for the 1000.

Check out my post on zeroing one of my old chinese guns on the fun shoot thread. It was fun. I did that before messing with the turkey guns.

[lefteyeshot]

Got a 10mm screw. To remind you the 8mm went all the way in without firing on the Striker 1000  Vortex but reduced the trigger pull average from 5lbs 4oz to 4lbs 3oz The new 10mm screw caused the gun to fire and I backed it out 1 1/2 turns and reduced it 3oz more to 4lbs even. Not great but better than 5lbs 4oz. The VMX I got down to 2lbs 10oz. And that's the rest of the story.

[grimeszee]

I adjusted mine in until it would not cock then backed it out 1.25 turns. I don't know what the pull weight is but I know it's not 4lbs. Can you bring a gauge on the 5th so we can check it? I like how light it is now, I even did the bump and bang tests to make sure it wasn't unsafe.

[lefteyeshot]

10-4, always bring it. I tried one turn and dropped the butt stock down on the deck of the back porch and it went off. one and a half was safe and I blue lock tight it. You shot my VMX at the fun shoot after I put the new screw in it and that was 2lbs 10 oz.

My vortex striker feels about like that one.
