I installed my GRT trigger months ago but decided to adjust the trigger a little. I made the trigger pull a little lighter but now the safety doesn't work. The safety not working doesn't bother me because I don't load the gun unless I am going to shoot but I am not sure if that is still too much of a risk. What do you guys think? Also, I miss placed the little key to adjust the trigger. Anyone know what size it is and what it is called so I can get another one? Thanks.

Hey Dennis:
To get the safety back you will probably need to back out the Allen screw a little at a time until it functions properly. You probably have it set to deep and it won't clear the nose of the trigger.
The little Allen tool is .050. You should be able to find it at a good hardware store.

Thanks for the help!

Hey Dennis, sounds like you are wondering "just how safe is this gun if it's cocked and loaded even though the "safety" isn't working" ? If that's the case then you should know that it's as safe as it would be even if the safety is working.Generally speaking. If you are in a scenario where other folks are sharing your gun, or if you are prone to being really clumsy with your gun and generally have an unsafe attitude in your normal handling of your guns, then naturally your risks go up. If however you are always careful where the muzzle gets pointed and you keep your finger off the trigger till it's closing time you won't hardly be at risk of an accidental discharge. Some airgun shooters count themselves lucky when they don't have to deal with automatic safeties and things that go "click" everytime they want to take a shot. If you ever over hone a trigger to where it's a "thought" trigger then disregard this info as a little bump might set it off. I'm not advising you to ignore safe gun handling principles but rather to count your blessings that you don't have to push off your safety. But if it bothers you follow CDT to the "T".

Great advise. Just what I was looking for. The safety not working doesn't bother me but I would have to let anyone know that would use the gun. I just wasn't sure if it could go off on its own or something like that since the trigger pull was so light. Thanks!
