bl-22 trigger job
« on: November 06, 2010, 01:59:14 PM »
I started working on my guns a few years back and have done trigger jobs on most of them now.  So, far I have been able to find some instructions online specific to the gun or another gun that shares the same type of action/trigger.  The bl-22 likely needs the job more than any of the others and I have found nothing on  how to work on this type of trigger.  It drops out of the action with the lever.  It breaks crisp and clean but is very heavy. If you have done a trigger job on a bl-22 or know the action/trigger please enlighten me on where to begin.  I know this is a difficult action just to break down.

Wherfe one has a seperating trigger the sear engagement with the hammer is the important one. I've se4veral of these with the sear/hammer interface not linking to one another squarely. If the angles aren't equally square to the pivot point the sear will have to cam the hammer to the rear a bit to the release point. This is to be avoided.. but so is the reverse. If the angle becomes less than 90 degrees the hammer can push itself off...not good at all. Not the easiest to do but polish, maintain or restore the angles, limit the engagement between the hammer and sear. Spring can be lightened but I;ve found them OK usually and too light a spring tension can wrreck accuracy and make the rifle unreliable.
