Trigger Adjustment for Sear Engagement

(Screw "A" in diagram on page 27)

Make sure that the firearm you are working with is uncharged and

unprimed prior to making any trigger adjustments. FAILURE TO HEED

THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE

WHICH MAY CAUSE INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER

OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

Adjustment of the ThunderHawk trigger requires that the receiver/barrel

be removed from the stock. To do this, follow the takedown instructions found

in the assembly and disassembly section of this manual.

Important: The ThunderHawk should not be dry fired without a nipple pro-

tector. To avoid damage to the nipple caused by the striker contacting it, in-

stall a 3/8" long piece of rubber hose over the nipple.

Important: Any adjustment to the sear engagement adjustment screw (Screw

"1" in the diagram on page 27) should always be made first. Only after this

adjustment is made should the shooter adjust the over-travel screw (Screw "2"

in the diagram on the page 27).

TO LESSEN THE AMOUNT OF SEAR ENGAGEMENT, FOLLOW

THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1.

Ensure that the striker handle is in the “Fire” position and that there

is a nipple protector in place on the nipple.

Step 2. Loosen the 1/4" lock nut on Screw #1 (See diagram on page 27) by

turning it

counter-clockwise as viewed from the rear of the trigger housing.

Step 3. Using a .050" hex wrench, turn Screw #1 clockwise slowly until the

striker handle falls forward to the “Fired” position (keeping fingers clear of the

striker and striker handle as it falls).

Step 4. Turn the .050" hex wrench one-third (1/3) turn counterclockwise.

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM SETTING FOR SEAR ENGAGE-

MENT.

Step 5.

Return the receiver/barrel assembly into the stock. Draw the striker

handle rearward into the "Cocked" position. Shoulder the rifle and dry fire it

to check the "feel" of this adjustment. If this adjustment is satisfactor

y r

emove

the r

eceiver/barrel assembly from the stock.

Step 6. After sear engagement adjustment is finalized, retighten the 1/4" lock

nut, making sure that sear engagement adjustment screw (Screw #1) remains

in the same position.
