QB 36-2/TF99 trigger assembly
« on: December 17, 2008, 09:32:57 AM »
The spring in my QB36-2 broke so I had to take her apart.  My question- is there anyone who can shed some light on how the trigger group goes back together?  I have searched this forum and others( and google) with no luck. my main problem is the coiled spring with two legs on it.  It should push out on the trigger blade, but the pins won"t lin up.  anyone have a drawing or parts diagram?  any help is appreciated.

TIA,
Glen

I gotta ya Glen, the QB-2 or later referred to as the TF-99 is a very difficult trigger to get back together once it is apart. Especially getting the sear in place while installing the sear and spring. It can be a real pain and has been several years since I did the last one. They are a pretty rough gun with a very rough laminated trigger and sear and can be tough to work on and were the reason that I eventually quit working on the TF Series.

But.... as I recall it..............

To install it, be sure that the piston assembly is installed first because the piston will not pass under the sear even though spring loaded. There will not be enough clearance unless you raise the sear and put a sliver of a block under the rear of the sear underneath that long slot in the sear and between the action and the tiny slot that is under it and between the action when you raise the sear. Be aware that the sear pin must be removed to do that.

 You need to install the sear from the front to the rear. It can also be installed from the rear but I find it harder .With it partially installed, and while it is in place and held up and centered in place the front, center the spring, sear and pin in place from the rear through the hole in the back of the action while under the pressure of the spring. It is not only difficult to explain but also just as difficult to do usually.

Hope you can make sense of this.

Thanks Bob!  To clarify, step 1-install trigger, step2 install spring with long leg on trigger and short leg to ward sear, step 3 install sear from front to back.( all with piston assy in place)

I got the gun cheap and this my first air rifle project.  I cleand, deburred and lubed and with the new spring I think it will be nice plinker.

I will be in touch,
Glen

I'll say one thing... you picked a doozie as your first project gun....lol...

I think that sounds correct but as I said, it's been a long time ago... 4-5 years ago since I've had the last one down. Getting it up and in alignment is the tough part.

 I know that they never did just fall together and had to mess with every one of them...always a pain. If I had one in front of me, I'd probably have more recall and I might be more able to describe it better but I don't. (Don't even want to see one....lol...) I'm basically drawing on a 70 year old brain loaded with a bunch of dead cells that just don't function like it used to.

Drink more coffee, Bob. I've resurrected many brain cells via the application of daily lethal doses of caffeine.  
 Mine wasn't hard to tune but the trigger was indeed a bugger to reassemble. That sure is a lot of preload on that piston spring. If I knew then what I know now, I would have bought the B40 first and never bought the TF99. Nothing against the TF99. Mine shoots great now that it's tuned and recrowned. It's just that I rarely ever shoot it anymore.
