I keep a bottle of Ronsonol lighter fluid in my tool box just for that purpose. If not mistaken it has mineral spirits in it and that is plenty to lube a trigger. This is what Arnold Jewel of Jewel Triggers told me to use in triggers, especially their triggers.
It something I learned shooting in Benchrest Matches, most benches will always have a bottle of lighter fluid on them. I shot at the Super Shoot in Ohio (for the Benchrest Community it is like the Super Bowel, 460 shooters from all over the world attend). I helped remove a Jewel trigger from another shooters rifle that would not let the rifle stay cocked. He was the President of Precision Shooting Magazine. A little while Later he brought Arnold Jewel over and the first thing he asked for was Ronsonol lighter fluid. After flushing and checking the adjustments we reinstalled it and it worked like new. Since then I have used nothing else in my triggers.cayuga said:ShawnT said:One other thing you can try After the flush as cayuga suggested is to then Flush it again with lighter fluid.

I never heard of that but that's good information. Old dogs can learn new tricks! :mrgreen:
Douglas said:Thank you both for your answers. I tried it and it still is not working. I think I need to buy a new trigger but my bolt is OK? Don't want to spend $90 dollars only to find that is not the problem?
I "Think" I know what you mean here but correct me if I am mis-understanding. When you say screw in the "Bolt" are you talking about the screw in knob (Secondary Safety) on the end of the plunger? IF you are, then yes the plunger will still fall forward when the trigger is pulled, BUT, it should not actually contact the cap. The real purpose of the screw in secondary safety is to "Shorten" the plunger so that it can never contact the cap that is on the nipple. The plunger should only contact the cap when the secondary safety is screwed all the way out/back. Unless some type of very long nipple was placed in the rifle, or some odd plunger was put in the rifle, it should not contact the cap. IF it is then you need to make sure that the Breech plug is screwed all the way in and that the correct nipple is screwed all the way into the breech plug.Douglas said:When you screw in the bolt it should not go off.
When I click the safety to fire and pull the trigger the gun will fire . Even with bolt screwed in. Is that the trigger or is that the bolt?
:yeah: No Problem. Glad to help! Enjoy it the Knight plunger rifles are great rifles.Douglas said:You were right and the cap does not pop, (back in business) Thank you again for all the help and it is time to go shooting again.
