Hi All

I picked up a T3 Light a few weeks back and thought I would read the manual. I came across the SINGLE-SET TRIGGER MECHANISM
feature in the manual, but did not want to mess around untill I got some thoughts…

Here is what the Manual says:
SINGLE-SET TRIGGER MECHANISM
For use as a normal single-stage trigger, squeeze rearwards in the normal fashion.
The trigger mechanism can also be “SET” by pushing the trigger forward until
it stops. The rifle can now be fired with only a light touch

My questions are,
- Is there a setting that you have to change in the trigger assembly – if so how – I could not find anything in the manual…
- Is this feature in all T3s or does it have to be ordered (I may not have it)?
- Am I only able to do this if there is a round in the chamber?

Any experience or info would be appreciated…

Thank you!
 
Ok, here is what I am understanding terminology wise in my own words from the manual,

Single stage: a regular trigger that you pull back at however many pounds of pressure (ex 3 lb)…

Single set (as defined by Tikka): is where you push the trigger forward decreasing the weight from lb to oz, making it very light…

So from what I understand – you have the option between shooting the gun at 3 lb or pushing the trigger up and making it shoot at 8 oz.

Here is more info that I found in the manual with the pic!

SET-TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 10)
When the trigger is in the “SET” position, the trigger weight is 2 - 2.5 N (7 - 9 oz.)
and cannot be adjusted. The screw (2) adjusts the gap between the trigger and
the plunger of the trigger weight spring. This gap affects the creep in unset stage
and should be as small as possible, preferably the screw should lightly touch the
plunger.

Hi

CZ has a similar single set trigger on the 550. It's a tradeoff. You get a bit lower trigger pull, but longer lock time.

To make it happen on a CZ, you just push the trigger forward. When you do it latches forward. Gun goes boom when you pull the trigger ...

I beleive if you remove you stock and look behind the trigger you can tell if its a single stage or set trigger. If there is an adjustment screew (#2) behind the trigger as in fig. 10 its a set trigger. If there is no screw it's a single stage. Takes two seconds to remove the stock, I just did it to see.
 
Thanks CNADNSL8-5

That was quick and easy (once I got around to doing it).

I don't have the SINGLE-SET TRIGGER!
