samboy 304 Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Finding the trigger pull a bit heavy on my 457 so i adjusted it as seen on Youtube but it made no difference as it didn't when another chap on there done it too. My one has not got a normal trigger spring but one shaped like a spring shaped paper clip. It's not worth putting another trigger unit on the rifle so i don't know what's next. Any ideas chaps ?. My 452 is about 1/2 lb pull and the 457 is about 2 1/2 lb. Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 For a start you are looking at the wrong spring. The good news is that you have to fit a lighter spring under the weight adjuster. The bad news is that you can not remove the original spring from the front. You have to tare the unit down to get it out. That in volved drifting a pin out of the cheap trigger body casting. You must support the casting with a block of something with a hole drilled in it for the pin to migrate into. I used a plastic block. It is definitely worth doing though. But don't recommend #1/2 for field use. There must be some YouTube videos on it by now. 1 Quote Link to post
