Theoben Rapid Forum

Hi all I have a mk3 trigger and if I pull the trigger with the safety on i hear a click and if I try to turn the safety off it fires but if the trigger isn't pulled I can turn it of without it firing. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this.

Thanks Aaron

I have not actually touch one!!
It sounds like you have some wear on the sear strut...
You Need to have KevG to look at it...

For a better Trigger, contact Dr Bob.
He was working on another batch of the Mark 4 trigger.
You will need to get a hammer the works with the Mark 4 trigger too

Good Luck,
Stuart

thank you for the advice I have taken it back for the shop to look at it as it is still under warranty

Hmmm I'd have still taken it to KevG and forgot about the shop your choice though! Hope all works out well!

I`m going to quote something really and i mean really big here!......And i don`t know if it true but i think it could be,.....So on the grape vine I've been told that KevG has some connection to Theoben in some way or another,....In like connections to the ppl who run the company! or did!...?

So is this true!

Was he related to Ben Taylor????

I need to give the shop the opportunity to put it right as still under warranty hopefully they can sort it out.
