TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT
The trigger on the FTP-900 is a multi-adjustable two stage match trigger with 4 positional
adjustments and five pull-off and sensitivity settings.
This allows the shooter to place the trigger button in the perfect position and have the pull of
the trigger to their exact requirements.
NOTE: Two stage triggers can be very difficult to set or adjust, an adjustment of any of the
screws will affect the position of the other screws and contact points in the trigger. If you have
little or no experience consider leaving as factory set. If you do wish to change the setting it
is good practise to make very small adjustments (1/8 or 1/4 of a turn) taking written notes
of what you have done so that it is possible to return the trigger to the original setting. A
POORLY ADJUSTED TRIGGER CAN BE DANGEROUS.
MAKE SURE THE RIFLE IS NOT COCKED OR LOADED BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENT TO THE TRIGGER.
First stage adjustment
First stage adjustment is primarily set using screw 28, adjust this screw in (clockwise) to
shorten the stage and out (anti-clockwise) to lengthen the stage.
Second stage adjustment
To adjust the second stage use screws 24-1 & 24-2. These screws adjust in (clockwise) & out
(anti-clockwise) to set the exact let off point.
Screw 24-1 is the primary screw, adjusting this in will increase sensitivity. Screw 24-2 can be
used to change the pivot point and therefore the length of each stage.
Pull through stop setting
The FTP-900 uses a trigger designed to use ‘pull through’ during the firing sequence. This
means that after the shot is taken the trigger will need to be pulled to a stop to allow the sears to
reset. This function also causes the shooter to stay on target and improves accuracy.
If the pull through stop is set too close to the second stage the sears may not reset and cause
problems with cocking the rifle. Use screw 29 to adjust the stop point.
Trigger weight
The weight or spring load on the sears is controlled by the trigger weight screw 58, turn the
screw in (clockwise) to increase weight and out (anti-clockwise) to make the trigger load lighter. If
the load is too light you may experience some problems with the sears resetting if you decide not to
take the shot after taking up the first stage.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN ADJUSTING THE TRIGGER, CHANGES TO EACH
SCREW WILL AFFECT THE OTHER SCREW SETTINGS AND THE TRIGGER MAY
NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE RIFLE IS NOT LOADED DURING TRIGGER
ADJUSTMENTS.
