Trigger Installation
& Care Instructions
Pre-Installation Warning & Disclaimer

Bullet Central, LLC. nor Bix’n Andy, will accept any responsibility
for any injury, damages, death, loss of property incurred through
the use of this trigger. Your well-being and life is important to
us and could be seriously compromised if you do not have this
trigger properly installed. When operating the firearm always
practice safe shooting and only discharge the firearm when it is
pointed in a safe direction. Never install or un-install this trigger
with ammunition in the receiver.

The installation procedure alone can be a very dangerous


activity if you do not ensure that the weapon you are working
on is not unloaded first. When unloading ensure that the muzzle
of the gun is pointed in a safe direction bearing in mind that
a wall should NOT be considered a safe direction to point a
weapon.

It is advisable that you employ the skills of a good gunsmith to


install the trigger. You can do it yourself if you are well versed
with the mechanics of a rifle receiver and the fire control but
consider that this is a premium trigger and to get the most out
of your investment it must be carefully set up.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at:

Thank you for your purchase and enjoy your trigger!

Sincerely,

Installation
There are four main steps to installing a trigger, and are done in
this order:

1. Set the timing for the trigger correctly in order for you to
have sufficient pin fall (not possible with a receiver, like a
Remington 700, that does not have the hangar required to
set timing)

2. Check the sear engagement.

3. Set the trigger pull weight.

4. Check the firearm for safe operation

As a final step you may need to reset the trigger timing again
to fine-tune accuracy. Please note that over travel is not adjust-
able. The trigger has been designed with enough over-travel to
prevent shooting errors.
Installation instructions for Remington styled action
(no trigger hangar required):

1. Remove bolt and magazine (if any)

2. Remove stock

3. Remove pin A
from the originally
installed trigger

4. Remove pin B from


the original trigger
(Caution: be sure to
not lose the bolt stop
spring and bolt stop
lever

5. Remove the original


trigger

6. Insert new trigger in


its place and fix it with pins A and B (Caution: the bolt catch
spring and bolt catch piece must be installed properly with
pin B)

7. Check that the sear engagement is correct:


7.1. Cock the unloaded rifle

7.2. Very carefully turn set screw C clockwise until the firing
pin falls.

7.3. Then turn set screw C counter-clockwise 90


degrees or one quarter turn.

7.4. Check the trigger for proper function by cocking the rifle
very aggressively - the trigger should be able to hold the
firing pin sear every time.

7.5. If you do adjust the bottom-sear engagement and


later want the default setting (screw C) simply follow the
procedure in 7.2 and 7.3 above. You may need to repeat this
exercise several times as the action of torquing the set screw
may well set off the trigger.
Setting Sear Engagement Setting Pull Weight
8. Check the pull weight of the trigger:
8.1. Adjust the trigger pull weight by turning set screw D clockwise
to increase pull weight and counter clockwise to decrease pull
weight

8.2. Ensure that once the pull weight is set that the rifle still holds
the firing pin safely by once again cocking the rifle aggressively.

8.3. Additional springs are provided if you are going to want a


heavier trigger pull. The competition trigger comes fitted with the
light spring.

9. Install stock using appropriate screws. In some cases a


modification may have to be made on the stock to ensure free
access of the trigger.
Light Spring Up to 2.75 oz (Up to 80 gm)
Medium Spring 1.75 oz to 11 oz (50 gm to 300 gm)
Heavy Spring 7 oz to 25 oz (200 gm to 700 gm)

The best way to identify the springs is to measure the wire diameter of
each spring using a calliper. The dimensions are as follows:

Light Spring - 0.0085” (.22mm)


Medium Spring - 0.0175” (.44mm)
Heavy Spring - 0.0215” (.55mm)

10. Again, check the safe and correct function of the trigger.
Installation instructions for
action with timing-hangar:
1. Remove bolt and magazine (if any)

2. Remove stock

3. Remove the hangar from the trigger bay in the bottom of the
receiver. There should be at least two screws holding this in place.

4. If your rifle (like a BAT DS or B)


has hangars that have different
timing based on their orienta-
tion then it would be sensible to
take note of this when removing
it from the action. It will also
be a good idea to measure the
amount of pin fall your rifle has
before removing the old trigger.
This distance can be calculated
by measuring the distance of
the firing pin in its loaded and
fired positions relative to the back of the shroud and subtracting
the two. The difference is the pin fall. It should be in the region of
0.220” but this varies from action to action. Some rifles will shoot
well in the 0.190” range and others toward 0.250”. It is essential
that you ensure that you have sufficient pin fall otherwise accura-
cy will suffer.

5. Remove the old trigger from the hangar and insert the new trig-
ger. Ensure that the trigger is securely held in the hangar. If the
hangar seems a little lose then you could gently pinch the sides of
the hangar pocket with a pair of pliers so as to squeeze the sides
together and this will help support the trigger securely. Be careful
not to put too much of a set in the sidewalls of the pocket. Insert
the 0.125” (3.175mm) pins to secure the trigger in position.

6. Re-install the hangar in the receiver with the bolt removed from
the action.

7. If you feel a significant amount of “cocking” on closing the bolt


then you will likely want to move the trigger forward to avoid this.
Select a different hangar or hangar position depending on what
type of action and hangar setup you have. Move the hangar for-
ward by about 0.010” (.25mm) at a time. When you have removed
the cocking on closing it would be important to measure your
pin fall. The best way to check if you have sufficient pin fall is by
shooting groups. After shooting multiple groups and you have not
experienced any fliers or degraded accuracy your trigger should be
perfectly timed.

8. Follow steps 7 and 8 (under the section above for Remington style
actions) to ensure that the sear engagement and pull weight are
properly set.

Care & Maintenance Instructions


Your trigger should require little to no maintenance with years of use.
However, those in a particularly dusty or dirty environment may feel
the need to service the trigger, so here are the guidelines:

1. Find a clean area to work and put down a lint free or microfibre
cloth to work on. The following will make your job easier:
• A Phillips screwdriver
• The 1.5mm allen key that the was shipped with the trigger
• Lighter fluid
• Compressed air

2. Remove the Phillips screws.

3. Use the two 1.5mm set screws to jack the cover plate off the trigger
housing.

4. It is advisable to turn the jack screws back to their original position


immediately as one can forget to do this when replacing the cover
plate.

5. Remove the two ball bearings and inspect for any obvious signs of
wear.

6. Rinse the trigger mechanism with lighter fluid.

7. Very gently use a stream of compressed air to dry off the trigger.

8. Replace the ball bearings.

9. Replace the cover plate and Phillips screws ensuring that the jack
screws are not impeding the seating of the cover plate.
