Another short video on how to adjust a Thompson Center Renegade, or Hawken Set Trigger. My Lyman Great Plains Hunter adjusts the same way.
dbowling said:for hunting I actually prefer just the regular trigger on my Renegade or Cabelas Sporterized Hawkens, if you have gloves on its to easy to bump trigger trying to get finger in guard.. my Renegade has about a 3.54-4# pull w/regular trigger which isn't bad for hunting.
For paper punching much prefer the set triggers though.
Rlsmith said:Lewis, I wonder if the pedersolli rifle triggers set that way I'm not sure?
Sitting a tree stand this afternoon (nothing moving) and was looking at some older posts. Got to this one.
There is a lot of crap and misinformation about muzzleloaders on the internet, that we can all agree on. I expect to see it and usually not surprised with what I find, but I do not expect to find pure BS on muzzleloader care and adjustment on this forum, pinned none the less, not buried in some obscure random post. This video should be titled ‘HOW TO BREAK YOUR SEAR’.
Do what’s suggested in this video and you will eventually break the half cock nose off of your sear.
You can check double set trigger pull function with the hammer down, hammer at full cock, with the lock off the gun or with the trigger out of the gun, but NOT at half cock as recommended in this video. In the half cock position the only thing keeping the hammer from striking the percussion cap on the nipple (or flint on the frizzen) is the nose on that sear, a hardened, somewhat brittle, piece of steel that is locked up solid as you hammer away at it testing trigger pull...
Here is a snippet fron the instructions you get from TOW on how to install RE Davis and other double set triggers. The link is below or you can find it in the TOW catalog.

In the year this thread/video has been up, I wonder how many have followed the instructions and broken, chipped or weakened the half cock on their double set trigger sidelock guns, the primary ‘safety’ many use?

Ok, I hit a nerve. Sorry. Not sure how many a ton of TCs would be, plus surprised you have obviously never set an RE Davis trigger. Seems odd. Most of my TCs have Davis triggers. Oh well.Mr boomer, i suggest you go to Thompson Center and Explain this Davis Trigger stuff to them, Let them know how STUPID they are See where that gets ya? DON’T COME AT ME WITH IT!! I have Always went by TC’s Recommendation from Their Manual, I have set a TON of THEIR Set Triggers by THEIR Recommendation, I have YET to have a Problem.

The problem i have is you coming on MY Thread and BOLDLY Claiming that i have Steered people Wrong, When in Fact the Video i did is Following TC’s instructions on how to set THEIR Triggers in THEIR Rifles. They Built the Rifles, i trust that they know how to properly Set their Triggers. Until they say different, i will continue to follow THEIR Directions, for setting THEIR Triggers. The information you posted above is NOT new to me, i read it on another Forum a few years or more ago, And I have Set triggers that way (Hammer all way Down) In the Video i made, i Chose to Follow TC’s Recommendation on Setting Their Triggers. Read the Title of the Video
Who says that I haven’t Set an RE Davis Trigger? If i own them, i have likely set them right?
You say “Most of YOUR TC Rifles have Davis triggers” Good for you boomer I have ZERO issues with TC’s Stock Triggers, They work FLAWLESS for me, I am currently shooting them to 600 Yards
As for your “Tool and Die apprenticeship, Completing a Mechanical engineering degree, and working as a Mechanical engineer” Again boomer, Good for you! I can’t, and won’t speak for others, But I’m Proud of ya Maybe you, and your “Professional Opinion” can Straighten TC Out on how to Set THEIR OWN Triggers in THEIR Rifles? Good luck with that
I don’t have a problem with TC Maxi Hunters, They Have shot just fine for me in .45, .50, and .54 Cal, This was made over the Hood of my Truck (Less than ideal conditions) ZERO Load development here, Stil shot a 1” Group. The .50 and .54 Cal Maxi Hunters shot just as well
Will wait and see what, if anything, TC has to say.
Your other points would take a turn towards personal if I responded to them, particularly since you stated this is your ‘thread’, and apparently any comment or opinion not agreeing with you is perceived as an attack, so no comment on the other points
Keep up the good work.
Off topic and all but, Idaholewis, what alloy do you cast those maxihunters at?
