Last Spring I bought a Quest 1000 on holiday in the Catskills.
The gun was impressive but had a number of issues. It was my first springer, and was horrid out of the box. It took us 2 hours to get the break-barrel to unlodge. Once it was free, the rifle was louder than a .22LR.
I home tuned the Quest with the help of RichInMish. For little cash, I got a 4 lube kit (moly, clear silicone, green and tar) and an orange resin trigger insert with an Allen screw.
I enjoyed breaking the rifle down, deburring and relubing is. Polishing the trigger works, installing the trigger insert went well as well. The rifle is now smooth, with an acceptable trigger. Long slidy first stage with a slightly creepy second stage. But a huge improvement to stock. This is about when I heard of CDT and the GRT III trigger.
I was still a spend thrift and the 25 bucks seemed steep at the time for lubes and the insert. (Since then I've spent over 1k on this illness!)
So I installed the resin insert, and shared the process on airgunadvice. Someone there then PM'd me that it's important I epoxy the trigger mod in. I havn't yet. RIM didn't mention anything about gluing it in. The Quest is with my friend who's 17 yo son is enjoying it a great deal.
I'm worried about the warning I received which did not explain why that insert may be dangerous, if at all.
I know this post may be stepping on toes, but I just need to know if that orange resin insert with a screw is safe. Or if I really should epoxy it into the trigger group.
Airgun politics aside can anyone give me the truth about any issues with the RichInmsh insert?
Sorry if I'm stepping on toes, but I really need to know.
Thanks!
