Trigger mechanism for pneumatic gun - design modification

[popgun pete]

Never found it hard to pull the existing trigger, so not really sure whether this would be worth doing, the parts are rather small and we need two pivot pins in the inner barrel tube. Everything has to be just that more precise, the single piece see-saw sear lever can be a little bit out and still work as to where you push on its tail. But it looks doable.

Just checked the video's date, this is 8 or 9 years ago, so it must all be worked out by now..

This was just for fun...

This trigger does not have trigger stability at right piston and trigger engagement angles! It is necessary to make oblique angles!

No, the sear pivot pin is lower in the gun, so the flat tail will still turn it. If it was at the same height as the see saw trigger then that would be true, which is why it was lowered. Refer to post #9.
