CDT 7/8/953 trigger mod.
« Reply #1 on: July 17, 2006, 09:49:37 AM »
I am using the Charlie da Tuna (CDT) AKA Bob drop in adjustable sear.  Fronm the looks of things this mod works a lot like the drop in sear from Bob.  It works out the same way anyhow with the tension droping in step with the length of trigger pull. I'd have to say that for the $20 or whatever I paid the CDT mod is way better.

It seems to me that if you wind up filing the parts wrong or something you've got an inoprative gun. With Bob's sear kit you ket a whole new Daisy trigger kit and the sear is a real drop in. I had no trouble with installing it.  I have to admit that I'd be worried that I'd screw something up on that DIY mod and wind up truing the rifle into unshootable junk or making things worse somehow and not being able to reverse it.  The CTD sear is 100% reversable and simple to install.

All in all it too an aweful long trigger pull and turned it into a short smooth trigger pull for me.  I wish the amount of creep and weight of pull were seperate becuse I like some creep and a light clean break so I wasn't really able to adjust it perfect for me but it is a huge improvement over stock.  

Another thing worth thinking about is I made some pretty big improvemnt just lubricating the internals in the gun.  I had some good dry adhesive lube that I sprayed in there and just that lessened the weight of pull becuse everything moved so much easier.  It also made the many changes and perceptable drage smooth out a lot.  Just lubing the trigger will smooth it out a lot.  

I also lubed the bolt assembely.  That smoothed out a great deal.  Everything seemed rough and notchy in a bad way.  Lubing helped a lot.

For $20 I'd get the CTD adjustable sear. Even cheaper and easier I'd try just lubing the internals. I personally think an adhesive lube is best.  That alone will make a huge diffrence. Check with Bob to see if he's got some more sears.

I've got a 853 that has an 'only fair' trigger & I've got a 953 coming in a couple days (we'll see what that trigger is like).
I have to admit that the 'Pilkguns' mod scares me. Nothing wrong with the mod, I'm just afraid I'll open it up & there will be an explosion of parts. I guess I'll wait until I'm feeling brave & then order a kit or two from Bob.

The inside the 7/5/953 trigger is pretty easy compared to some triggers I have seen.  The parts are all pretty big and clunky.  Like anything work in a clean well lit area and try to set ip up so jumping springs don't have far to go.  That said all the springs and parts in this trigger are pretty big so it's not too bad.  Nothing is under really instense pressure in there.

The thing that worries me is filing plastic parts.  Remove too much and what are you going to do?  Remove it from the wrong spot and same thing.  The CDT sear is the way to go.  

I recently dissasembled a CZ rimfire rifle and was nearly in tears looking for a tiny BB and a little spring.
