On I go…If you like being bored by too many pictures of a trigger group, read on.
The trigger assembly.
Other side.
The safety pulls out. It is loose once the two dowel pins that retain the trigger assembly are removed.
A blurry look inside.
Yawn…
You’ll thank me if you ever have to put one back together.
This spring has been wanting to fly away since I took the action out of the stock.
I removed the circlip for the pin.
And pushed it out. Note that I store the circlip on the pin…
This is what you end up with.
Another pin..
And the sear comes loose.
Looks to be in pretty good shape .
Another view. Could use some polishing?
One last circlip held pin.
It’s a headed pin.
Another piece comes out. Notice the dimple for that spring end.
Now the trigger pivot pin.
The trigger is laminated steel and plastic.
It’s hard to tell but the piece the adjustment screws are in is plastic.
So that’s everything taken apart except the piston. I’ll clean everything up and lube as needed. See if it shoots better. The rifle wasn’t that dirty but seems dry – the only lube was some moly inside the piston sleeve.
Dear Nick,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for posting this, I have just bought one & it needs stripping & servicing, your article has really helped me, Oh, & no, I didn't go to sleep looking at your trigger pics, LOL.
Thank yo again.
Regards,
Malc.
What model is this trigger you're working on? And how do you tell the difference between the various trigger models?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post!
I'm just wondering which model trigger this is and how do you tell the difference between the various models?
I also need a stock for the RWS Diana 45 I just bought. Fedex cracked the stock.
Thanks,
David
I don't rightly know. There's a RWS specific forum out there thaat has some people that love the minutiae of trigger designs.
ReplyDeleteHi Neck,
ReplyDeleteIn the photo before last, the trigger has plastic safety attachment. That attachment slips away from the trigger in my gun causing safety lock to fail. Is there any solution to this? Can you please provide photos showing how this attachment is connected?
Regards,
The last picture shows that it's laminated and I think molded or pinned in place. I'm guessing yours is broken somehow. You'll likely need to do a forensic deconstruction of the trigger assembly and then make a replacement of the plastic part or figure out how to fasten it again in place.
