There is a balance between having a trigger pull so light the gun may fire accidentally, and a pull so stiff the gun cannot be fired accurately. The trigger pull spring gauge is used to measure the force needed to make the gun fire, It is attached to the trigger of an unloaded cocked firearm, and pulled until the action drops the firing pin, as it would when firing the gun.

∙ 9y agoThe trigger pull spring gauge is used for adjusting the trigger settings to a specific poundage of pull. This is only for adjustable triggers, and is not recommended to ever go below 2 and 1/2 pounds of trigger pull. Even at 2 1/2 pounds, a lot of triggers will not hold that without allowing an accidental discharge of firearms. You need to check your manufacturer's recommendations for your specific gun before attempting any type of readjustment.

What function does the double trigger on a rifle have?
On some of the older rifles, they had a set trigger. You would pull it first to set the other trigger. The second trigger would be a hair trigger. It would have a very light pull. The first trigger was supposed to keep from accidentally firing the rifle as you were aquiring the target.
Can the spyder mr1 paintball gun shoot rapid fire?
No, the marker will be able to shoot rapidly without an aftermarket trigger, although if you find the trigger pull stiffer than you wanted, you can exchange the spring for the trigger with a pen spring. A light trigger pull will allow you to "walk" the trigger, which basically means you pull the trigger with two fingers (one at a time), to reach full auto- like rates of fire.
How do you upgrade the trigger on a tipman model 98 paintball gun?
There are basically four things you can do. First is to replace the trigger spring with a lighter spring (like from a pen) to make the trigger pull easier. Second is to buy a double trigger, which may slightly increase your rate of fire, but not by much. Third is to purchase a response trigger, which uses excess Co2 from the Tippmann (which is automatically wasted after each shot) to reset the trigger faster than a spring. It will make the pull heavier, but allow you to shoot fully automatically if you place your finger where it sets, and resets. Last is the E-trigger, an electric solenoid and board that takes out the mechanical link from trigger to sear, and allows you to shoot semi, burst, and full auto. It runs on battery, makes the pull incredibly lighter, and must be turned off after every game, to preserve battery life, because without a battery, your gun will no longer function.

How do you lighten trigger on my baikal izh18mn 308?
Remove the butt stock from action. Remove screw holding trigger return spring. Remove trigger return spring and place one or two small washers under it then replace spring and screw. If the pull is still extreme narrow the working part of the spring . It is about .045" wide. Narrow it to .035 with a diamond hone by hand and don't draw the temper of the spring with friction heat. This will lighten the trigger pull but will not address the extreme creep of this trigger. The creep fix is not simple and worth paying a gunsmith to do well. That would involve highly polishing all trigger and hammer parts, pins and shortening sear contact areas. Removing and replacing the hammer spring requires special tools and is dangerous to attempt this without a spring compressor. You could really put your eye out trying and likely never succeed, that is one heavy spring. GA
