trigger wieght on 2240 measured at 10 oz

[howie1968]

after reading lots of infoon the trigger of the 2240 and shooting mine until well after midnight and got up this morning already been shooting it for an hour. I decided to qwiegh my trigger on my fish scale a rapala 50 lb  i set it to lbs and oz and pulled it at least 15 times. i need to figure out how to save each one but over the 15 pulls they went from 8 to 10 oz. the only thing i did was to compress the spring for a quick 2 second difference per you tube videos. so a little while ago i figured id do the bump test made sure there was no c02 or pellets in the gun cocked it and slapped the gun upside my leg it never went off.  so i tried it on my hand still didnt go off.  I then switched the safety to on repeated the process.
  now personally i may take the spring out and stretch it a bit that lite of trigger is a bit touchy when plinking at cans and stuff. so  as soon as it warms up im going to put it on my sand bags open sighted and shoot for groups its in the high 30,s want to give the day a chance to warm up

when you are shooting does it feel that light?
i have shot a gun with a true 17oz trigger on a match gun fwb80 and you can barely touch it, i mean as soon as your pad is on it it fires.
if it takes more than that to fire your gun maybe the fish scale is mis reading.if you have some of the little weights you put on digital scales try them on your scale

it feels almost to light i did the bump test and it is safe, ill try to go to a gun shop and get them to test my fish  digital scale may be wrong

i am not doubting you.10oz is very very light.if i set my maurauder pistol trigger group to that weight it will fire without touching the trigger
found out the hard way when i couldnt pump up my 1377.everytime the pump arm closed the gun would fire,it reminded me of the the old 140/1400's when their trigger was set to light the same thing would happen

I have a similar scale and the variance is +- 4oz. I think you'd need a more accurate scale. Even my 15# scale is +- 2 oz.

4oz is a huge difference when dealing with triggers 2oz isnt as bad
