Trigger Pull

[EDP1]

Is there any way to lighten the trigger pull on a percussion?My rifle is a cva frontier.

Does it have double (set) triggers? Try just setting the rear trigger.
If it doesn't, most CVA locks have a sear adjustment screw. Turning that in a tiny bit can ease the trigger release.
All else fails, you (or a knowledgable ml shooter) can stone the sear to ease the release for you. Proceed cautiously.

Yup, That's the ticket. Take the lock out.

See that screw in the tumbler? Adjust that.
Carefull!! You still need it to be safe enough to use,,

If the lock has that sear adjustment screw, do not adjust it so that less than the full thickness of the sear (the part that holds the tumbler at full cock or half cock) remains engaged with the full cock notch.

The purpose of that screw is to keep the nose of the sear from moving further than it has to be into engagement with the full cock notch.

Adjusting that screw so that less than the full thickness of the nose of the sear is in engagement can cause the gun to fire unexpectedly.

Listen CAREFULL to the warning about turning the screw to far. I know several people who have had problems with accidential discharge with CVA's because they had the screw in to far. It is a true danger!
