Trigger Adjustments

 

First Stage Travel (Take-up): Loosen set screw 70022/4 with allen key. Turn screw 70022/3 anticlockwise to increase takeup. Note. If the takeup screw is turned too far clockwise (to shorten takeup) the trigger bar notch cannot engage the trigger sear cam. Cock hammer and check engagement. When adjusted to satisfaction, tighten set screw 70022/4.
Trigger Weight: Loosen set screw 70020/4 with screwdriver. Turning screw 70019 clockwise will increase trigger weight. Minimum trigger weight is 260 grams. After adjusting, retighten set screw 70020/4.
Sear Engagement: Turn screw 70020/3 clockwise to reduce engagement.

Important note: Hammer and sear notches must never be ground or stoned.

 

 

Trigger Stop: Turn screw 70021/4 clockwise to reduce overtravel. Caution! Too short a backlash can cause gun to maxim.

 

Stripping

Check pistol is unloaded and remove magazine. Turn the locking lever by 180 degrees to the rear.

Grab the pistol at the barrel. Receiver and barrel can now be drawn forward and be tilted for disassembly.

Barrel/receiver unit must be held vertically with the muzzle pointing to the ground in order to prevent the bolt, recoil spring, firing pin, firing pin spring and firing pin guide from falling out.
These parts are all placed in the receiver and bolt respectively without any fixation. Care must therefore be taken not to lose any parts.

Remove grips. Lubricate these two areas with a non-resinous oil (sewing machine, vaseline or spindle):
a. Disconnector cam/trigger bar
b. Turning-point of the trigger bar.

Locking Lever

 

The spring tension catch on the locking lever 70011 can after long use be tightened by turning the screw 70011/3, which presses on the spring and the small catch-ball.
