I didnt know where to post this but since the trigger is on a .22 cz I figured this would work! I installed the fly weight trigger on my .22 cz 455. I really cant see spending $100 on a gauge that I will only use one time, so if anyone in windsor/ essex county has a gauge it would be appreciated if we could measure my pull weight.

Thanx...Dan
 
You can always do the poor man's trigger weight gauge; buy a Starfrit digital scale on sale at Can Tire (usually $10). Place rifle pointing at ceiling (unloaded, of course, it helps if you have a friend hold the rifle). Loop string over the trigger and attach to a plastic pop bottle (2 liters).
Begin filling the pop bottle, when the trigger is err, triggered, weigh the bottle on the scale. repeat 7 times, discard high and low values and average the rest.


I never said it was a pretty solution...
 
Yeah I suppose I could go the Red Green route. This trigger is VERY light and would prefer to test with something with the accuracy of a digital trigger gauge if someone in my area has one. I would be surprised if it breaks over 4 ounces. It passes the bump test and safety cycles on and off without causing it to fire. Maybe a styrofoam cup hanging from trigger, add water then weigh on small digital scale that measures ounces. Great trigger if anyone is thinking of getting one.

just saw your post ronnie01...I have line and bb's
 
My trigger gauge will not record anything under 8 oz.
My DIY gauge is a brazing rod bent to accommodate a plastic shopping bag, with a hook for the trigger and add 22 rounds until the trigger breaks.
Weigh the rod, bag and bullets.
When weighing heavier triggers, boxes of bullets are used but you can through in any thing to make weight . . . bolts, washers and nuts.
 
I used some fishing line, a cut down styrofoam cup and a syringe with volume markings. The trigger broke right at 3.75 oz of water. Its funny how the weight you feel when pulling the trigger feels much light then lifting the cup with 3.75 oz water!
 
Quite simple isn't it.Nothing else beats thinking out of the box. Job well done,all for free that is the best part and helping a gun nut is important also.Glad it worked out for you.
Also knowing a liquid oz of water also weighs 1 oz.doesn't require any other calculations.

I like a number of these DIY methods, however I am not keen on using fluids. I am mostly on my own and never have enough hands/arms so I can see me spilling it at some point. Using solids, like .22 rounds is more up my alley. YMMV.
