Others 1200G trigger adjustment in or out?

[flyfisher]

The trigger adjustment screw on the 1200G break barrel, is the screw turned in or out for a lighter trigger?
Thanks

The screw behind the trigger is turned out to make the trigger lighter. It simply adjust the amount of preload on a spring.

Thank you. Can you tell me how many turn out I can safely go before I run out of threads? I turned it out 2 full turns so far but would like the trigger to be a little lighter.

From fully turned in, 6 full turns out will relax the spring tension as much as the mechanism will allow. There is a screw forward of the trigger blade. Turning that in will reduce the length of the first stage take up. You can turn it enough to eliminate the first stage. I don't recommend turning it past that point, as it will reduce sear engagement. That will make it much lighter and shorter, but also unsafe. Not worth it.

Thank you very much. I'll count the turns in till stop from where I am now so if needed I can go back to where I am now. 2 Turns out seems like the trigger is a little bit lighter, but I would like it a bit lighter. Is it possible to get the trigger as light and smooth as a PCP trigger? I'm thinking no because of the power source.

Unfortunately, not with this style of trigger group while maintaining safety.

So the trigger mechanism it's self determines how light or smooth the trigger is. Gott it.
Thanks again

Triggers are not adjusted by counting turns.
Above all, it needs to be safe.

You can get just about any trigger super light. But if it can't stand a heavy jolt to the butt or being dropped, something is going to get an unwanted hole in it.

Thank you for that info. I did not want to know the number of turns needed for a lighter trigger. The main reason for asking was so that I did not turn the screw out too far and have the screw fall out. I am aware of the dangers of adjusting for a hair trigger and I don't want that. The trigger may get to the point of not setting before the screw falls out. If that is the case, then I would not have any worries about the screw falling out.
I do appreciate your response because you do not know how much air gun experience that I have and a air gun new comer may not know that about the danger of the trigger adjustment. I have been shooting air guns from Co2 to now PCP's for about 5 years, but I never messed with any trigger adjustments mainly because the triggers felt good for me.
