Title: Old type Gold Medal trigger
Post by: Bumpkin on November 21, 2020, 08:21:48 PM
Hi,
I have a Rapid Mk1 but just cannot get in with the trigger.
Does anybody know if you can still obtain the Gold Medal triggers they used to provide?
Thank you

Sorry those Gold Medal triggers are rare and worth their weight in GOLD!
Also there are no current replacement for the Gamo units!!
The only relief is a tune by KevG, or a major change over to the Mark 4 trigger.
This will involve the milling of the receiver to fit the cartridge.

Read the description- it has its own type of mk1 hammer to use with the GMT - it wont work with a normal mk1 hammer ......

But - the guy is willing to swap a standard mk1 hammer for the GMT hammer .....

Yes they are a direct replacement for the gamo trigger and mk1 hammer - they were an optional extra but were fitted as standard
to the mk1 FT model

They are very adjustable and can be made to break very cleanly with zero creep

Umm if only my trigger was not nice to use I would have bought this.
