Yer can now feel the change from 1st to 2nd stage when both screws contact the sear.. I have it set so that the smallest pull on the 2nd stage and its all over... Pete"

Tim, thanks for the compliment, but in all fairness, I found the trigger guide with the mod and just share it with anybody who needs it. I have a number of tuning guides that should be in the library but there could be copyright issues. If I can track down some of the links, I'll post them. Chris and I really don't have any secrets except when it's a work in progress. Eventually it all comes out. Chris comes up with more ideas and has easier access to resources than I do so he's usually a few steps ahead of me. But we have a good time bouncing ideas off of each other. I'm way behind on my projects as I prepare for my move to SE Alaska. I hope to find the time to finish up three of them before I hit the road after the 4th and post the results. If not, I'll box up the pieces and finish them after I get settled. I'll be addressing some things that have received little attention around here. Hopefully, i can generate some interest and experimentation."

Pete wrote: "Thanks guys.. the trig is nice now.... but after all the new guides etc the gun is worlds better than it was standard... but its still not that great, heaps of power but not a nice gun to shoot.... I'm going to sell it.. i think.. and replace it with a Kral .22 Break barrel, they tune up real well.. Pete"
super6 wrote: "Pete, sorry but have been out of the loop. Which Hatsan did you tune? My tuned Talon and Patriot settled down nicely. Both will get major surgery soon which, on paper at least, should make them almost refined."
Pete replied: "Its a mod 75 .22. I will put a tin or two though it & see how it comes up."
C.A.P wrote: "If its low on power check the piston seal. They are known for to small of seals."
Pete replied: "Power is good... Its how the gun fires 'fireing cycle'.... even thow its better than a standard gun I'm still not happy with it...... Pete"
super6 wrote: "Pete: checked Hatsan's site and I think the 75 is the same as the Winchester and Daisy Powerline 1000's but in .22 (only .177 here). I've got one of each but haven't gotten around to tuning them and they are pretty rough out of the box. I sent a Winchester to Chris which has a walnut stock and he tuned it and says it's shooting really well and hasn't said anything negative about the firing cycle. Is it just not smooth enough for your tastes? I'm sure the Winchester's wood stock gives it an edge over the synthetic version. What's funny is it's a $55 refurb with a rough looking barrel and he says it's a tack driver! Go figure..."
