PCP HW 100 trigger question

[BeemanHW100]

Hoping some Ham readers can help me with this, I am trying to lighten the trigger on my HW 100 and I read about other people buying a lighter spring on EBAY but I looked and found nothing.

Hard to believe you'd need to but I looked around for nothing better to do. And found from like 2016 or something old on that replacement lighter spring . If on ebay then probably not today ..


Anyway did you find this ? It shows maybe you can reposition for more or less leverage

HW100 trigger spring placement

Good luck


Edit

Just found this said ...so?

"You used to be able to get from the 'bay' a replacement spring which was 30% lighter ."

Hi, I’m looking to lighten up the break/pull weight of my trigger. After looking in the manual I adjusted the small grub screw in front of the trigger anti-clockwise which seemed to make the whole trigger travel and pull a little lighter and I adjusted the grub screw behind the trigger...

Thank you for the reply, I found everything you did except for the spring placement picture which looks like I may be in luck if the writer of the picture was correct about what he thought for the colored lines. My spring is positioned like the picture shows. I was going to try all of the positions anyways. I knew about moving the spring around but just figured it was on the lightest setting to begin with. I’m trying to get less than a pound if I can.

We'll be sure you keep it pointed in a safe direction my record hw triggers can fire when the safety is released if set too light .. that's dangerous..

I know about the Rekord spring gun triggers, I have a HW 97 and I made sure not to go too light on that. The pcp gun triggers are different and aren’t as susceptible to premature firing as the Rekords. I don’t want to go that light to be dangerous as it is used for field target matches. I shot a RAW not too long ago that was set to about 10 ounces and that was the best trigger I have ever used.

I forgot to add that the trigger assembly can be taken off as a unit by removing two screws and operated and adjusted off the gun.

Never found a optional spring , but hopefully one of the many hw100 trigger threads around get you where you want ..

Good luck .

According to my trigger gage, I am at 9 ounces now and trigger feels pretty good to me. Will try it out and then shoot a match with it this weekend. Didn’t realize how handy it is to take the unit off the gun and adjust it. You can look at it and see the movement while holding it in your hand. Excellent design IMO.

Look at the spring and it anchor points both top and bottom. There are 6 possible positions, which yield 6 ranges of letoff. Figure out the lightest, and then stretch the spring, JUST SLIGHTLY, and try out the trigger. Then all that's left is to dial out the creep and set the first and second stage lengths.
If you do it well, the HW100 trigger can rival the best Anschutz, FWB, etc triggers.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking the same thing about stretching the spring. I wanted to wait until I got another spring in case I went too far with the stretching. As far as the positions go, I only found four possible on my trigger, two holes and two notches.
