Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
I dont lube the trigger on mine , I have never used any lube on ANY of my trigger groups. I feel that is just asking for trouble. But Im going to read the manual agan and see what Sako recomends , I will post back in a few min. What are you using Mike , or why are you asking?

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
I just read throught the manual agan and it has nothing in there about lube on the trigger group. For what its worth I use lighter fluid to flush out the trigger ever so often and then let it air dry (same with all my triggers).

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
I sprayed my trigger group with Break Free CLP, then blew it off with compressed air. It just leaves a thin film that way and keep everything working smooth.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
A LITTLE squirt of Rem Dri lube here in the desert. Never any lube that will attract grit.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
I thought mine was shot until I squirted a little lube in it, then it started working again. I had flushed it with lighter fluid and the pull got heavy, then it started to not work at all. Lube fixed it. I used Rem Oil. Not my favorite, but it was the lightest oil I had and seemed appropriate for the job.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
I was having trouble with the cocking piece sticking. Also, the trigger is getting a little rough.
I bought some lighter fluid and I'll give that a shot. If that doesn't work, maybe some 3-1 oil.
Thanks for the replies.

Not that!
Think about eesox, Bore Tech Tef Dri, or Prolix, but I would not go with a true oil. I had to blast my buddies out with Ballistisol after he oiled his (lighter fluid probably would have done it) and after the Ballistisol, just blasted it out real well with compressed air, and it's been good to go for over a year now.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
A question for all you TRG trigger guys- anyone else have inconsistent 2nd stage pull weights? 7 out of 10 are the same, but I get some that are too light and I end up pulling right through the 2nd stage (being used to the heavier weight stopping the trigger) and some that are too heavy. These inconsistent pulls mess up my shooting, and I would like to fix this issue.
Might require a trip back to Beretta USA.

I have encountered the same problem when tuning 'right on the edge'. I suggest readjusting all per manual and give it a go.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
Same t'ing wit mine.
First stage is pretty light, factory adjusted. About every 7 or eight shots, the first stage is non existant, just straight to harder 2nd stage. Now that I have experienced it a few times, when I feel that hard first stage, I come off the trigger, lift the bolt handle, but don't run the bolt back. Close the bolt and good to go. Been wanting to pull the trigger and investigate, but haven't had/made time yet.
Am thinking it is too light on first stage, and maybe a bit dirty. Maybe tonight I'll pull it off and report findings.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
Guys, when you are getting varying trigger performance like that, I have found it can be equally attributable to the trigger needing a good cleaning, and or the bolt. Pay attention to the engagement area of the trigger group to the action. Remove the bolt first--important, and then remove the trigger group--easy, two bolts. Then make sure there isn't any dust, gook etc. in the chassis/receiver or the bolt or trigger group. Check to make sure all the trigger adjustment screws are set snugly, and try it again. The two stages shold be VERY distinct, that is the whole point--if you have a whole lot of travel in the first stage, it affects the second stage 'feel'.
Good luck!

I have not touched the trigger on my TRG 22. It was perfect from the get go but I am not trying to get a benchrest trigger weight in a rifle designed from the ground up as a sniper rifle, not a benchrest rifle. In my opinion it is the best trigger out there. My AI is very close but the TRG has the best two stage trigger I have used.Usually people have issues with triggers when the y fuck around with them.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
The reason the TRG trigger is so nice...is that it is a precision built instrument. You need to clean and lube it once in a while.
I always used the spray degreaser (electronic cleaner in an aerosol can) to flush it out, then hit it with an air hose. That stuff evaporates withing seconds.
Then spray it with your favorite aerosol lube..and blow it out with the air hose again. Good to go and no problems with inconsistant pull weights for a long time.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
You, sir, are correct.
I pulled the trigger assembly from the TRG, fiddled with it a bit then decided to try your suggestion. Bingo, problem solved. The second stage was a bit light, I made both a bit heavier and it was all good.
Interestingly, the loss of the first stage happened normally when the muzzle was lower than the breech. I could make it happen every time when the muzzle was lower, and not at all with the barrel elevated.
Thanks again, 'preciate the help!

I started having some issues shooting my rifle in the cold. I think it might be attributed to my cleaning of the rifle and some excess gun oil getting down into the action and sticking as a reuslt of the oil getting a bit tooooo thick.
It would <span style="font-weight: bold">sound</span> as though after starting to squeeze the trigger that it misfired but after pulling a bit harder (quite a bit) it would fire. I have not adjusted the trigger, it is still at the stock settings which is really nice.
Like I said I attribute this to a bunch of excess oil from cleaning getting in there and then dust from shooting out in the fields and it sitting next to the BFG-50 .50BMG rifle of mine kicking up a lot of dust which probably didn't help out either.
I'll clean mine out and see how it goes.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
Stefan, Mine had a lot of white and red grease in it, mostly hardened. Sprayed it with contact cleaner and a little silicone oil afterwards.
I like contact cleaner - but wife won't let me use it in the kitchen????? WTF?

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
I just cleaned my trigger out with some Brownells solvent (all I had available). I then blew it out with my air compressor.
I then put some Remoil on there and hit it with some air (left a real light coating on there and wiped off any outside excess). I did some dry firing (smap caps) and no issues.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
I just flushed it with lighter fluid, then hit it with compressed air.
It seems to have worked! Trigger had to be adjusted UP in weight a bit to regain the 2nd stage, but the pull weight seems to be consistent in the 2nd stage now.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
Well, the trigger was working great for about 60+ rounds and then later into the day it crapped out and pretty much stopped working at all. Just a little click and that was it. I tried different finger positions but it didn't help.
I'm wondering if the adjustment screws are walking?
I'm going to take the trigger out again and try messing with it.

Flush with lighter fluid followed by compressed air.

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
Strange is that it is an intermitent problem. I get a light click if I lightly apply some pressure and then nothing. I can see the bolt body move up slightly but that is about it outside of hearing a click.
It is now working fine. Maybe it took a little for the dry lube to work in?

Re: TRG Users-Trigger Question
i dont use oil for the fact that any wet surface will collect dust, and since i dont clean the trigger as often dry lube works well. the only oil i use on othe rcomponents is tri flo, as this is not a petroleum distilate and it wont ruin any rubber,plastic, etc. like WD 40 and sim. products will over time... tri flo is an awesome product

Just kidding, I'm sure it will be fine. If it fails completely, try squirting it full of lube. That worked on mine, when it failed. Later flushing with lighter fluid followed by compressed air is what fixed it for good. Your mileage may vary!
