Danger to life!
Danger to life from loaded firearm.
Make sure that the rifle is unloaded when carrying 
 
h
out alignment and adjustment procedures.
WARNING!
Physical damage!
Damage to the trigger caused by the breech not being 
open when the trigger is changed.
Open the breech when changing the trigger.

CAUTIoN!
1 Trigger weight
Adjusting the trigger weight by means of trigger weight adjusting screw \
[3]: turn clockwise = trigger weight is increased (+)
 
y
turn anticlockwise = trigger weight is reduced (-)
 
y
The trigger and first stage weights are mechanically interdependent. 
Any adjustment always results in a small concurrent change in the trig-
ger or first stage weight.
18     
						

							2 Sear engagement
2.1 With two-stage trigger
The sear engagement denotes the travel from the second stage to the 
release of the trigger.
Danger to life!
Unintentional discharge as a result of too short a sear 
engagement or too low a trigger weight.Do not set the sear engagement too short.
 
h
Do not set the trigger weight too low.
 
h
Do not subject loaded and unsecured rifles to 
 
h
impact and do not use force to close the breech.
WARNING!
Adjusting the sear engagement on a two-stage trigger by means of the 
sear engagement adjusting screw [2]: turn anticlockwise = sear engagement is shortened
 
y
turn clockwise = sear engagement is lengthened
 
y
Setting the optimum sear engagement:
The rifle must be unloaded.
 
$
Cock the rifle and release the trigger (check whether the trigger 
 
X
releases as desired). If the sear engagement is too long:
There is a short travel from the second stage to the release of the trigger 
(so-called "pull" or "tug").
After cocking and releasing the trigger, turn the sear engagement 
 
X
adjusting screw [2] anti-clockwise in steps (approx. 
1/8 turn each 
time).
Repeat the procedure until the second stage is no longer percepti-
 
X
ble.
Then turn back
 
X
 1/3 turn clockwise.
The optimum sear engagement is now set.
 
9
If the sear engagement is too short:
There is no longer any second stage. The trigger releases indefinably \
without a second stage.
After cocking, turn the sear engagement adjusting screw [2] at 
 
X
least 
1/4 turn clockwise, release the trigger and check whether 
there is a second stage.
If not, repeat the procedure until there is a perceptible second 
 
X
stage.
As soon as there is a perceptible second stage, proceed according 
 
X
to the subsection "If the sear engagement is too long" to achieve 
the optimum sear engagement.
19     
						

							2.2 Adjusting the optimum sear engagement on a single stage trigger 
by means of the sear engagement adjusting screw [2]:Cock the trigger
 
X
Turn sear engagement adjusting screw [2] (second stage) clock-
 
X
wise until the trigger releases.
From this setting, turn sear engagement adjusting screw [2] approx. 
 
X
1/3  turn anti-clockwise.
Danger to life!
Self-discharge of a shot as a result of too short a sear 
engagement or too low a trigger weight.
Do not set the sear engagement too short.
 
h
Do not set the trigger weight too low.
 
h
Do not subject loaded and unsecured rifles to im-
 
h
pact and do not use force to close the breech.
WARNING! 3 Trigger malfunctions caused by misadjustment
Proceed as follows in the event of malfunctions caused by a misadjusted 
trigger:
The trigger function must be checked after every change.
 
X
When the malfunction has been rectified, check the desired trigger 
 
X
characteristic and adjust it again if necessary.
The trigger catches the firing pin but does not fire when pulled: Check whether the safety catch is engaged.
 
y
The trigger is not catching the firing pin (single stage trigger set \
too tight):
Turn sear engagement adjusting screw [2] anti-clockwise by approx. 
 
y
1-2  turns. Then proceed per Chapter 15, Trigger 2.2.
Adjusting the trigger blade Release the trigger blade clamping screw [1].
 
X
Slide the trigger blade along the guide.
 
X
