Marauder Marauder Semi Auto Trigger Stop

[treniets]

I hated the lack of a stop on the trigger before it fires so I made a position adjustable ‘3rd stage trigger stop’. I bought two MEETOOP Spring Pluger Locking Pins from Amazon ($10). The pins’ initial push weight is 1 Lbs.

I adjusted the trigger position full back (see the owner’s manual). Drilled a hole in the lower portion of the straight vertical rear section of the trigger guard so the lower portion of the trigger would hit the pin when it was pulled. The hole was just big enough to allow a lock pin to screw into the guard’s soft material. The hole could have been bigger, but I wanted it to screw in. The pull ring interfered with my fingers, so I took off the pins pull ring and replaced it with a short-bent wire to hold the pin in place. I screwed in the pin w/ a supplied nut both in front and behind the trigger guard. Screwed the lock pin out a small amount so that the trigger stops when it hits the pin and only travels a short distance before it fires.

I now have a perfect semi-auto trigger with a light pull, a clear stop and a letoff at 3-1/4 Lbs with minimal travel at the stop. The pull weight should be adjustable with both the factory settings and the pins position if you want.View attachment 2416

Thanks,

The stock trigger had a long but light pull before it released without giving any warning. I could live with it if I was shooting from a solid rest; I was able to hold steady enough to be on target when it fired even though it was a surprise.

My problem was when I was shooting off hand; I usually try to time my trigger release to my wobbling sight picture, but I had a problem doing that with the stock trigger: I couldn’t time the release very well since I didn’t know when it would occur. I wound up rushing my pull while hoping it would occur quickly.

Now the release is precise and easy to predict. There isn’t any perceptible trigger movement when it fires nor any change in the pull weight which could cause unwanted gun movement when it releases.

Hey, it’s even better off a solid rest! Now I’m ready for the next World Record speed shooting trials!
