Quick Answer
Regularly inspect your figure-4 trigger for signs of wear and maintain it with lubricant and tension. Tighten the trigger to the recommended 5-7 pounds of pressure. Ensure the trigger is secure and not damaged to prevent accidental triggering.
Maintenance Routine
To maintain your figure-4 trigger, establish a regular routine of inspection and lubrication. After each use, inspect the trigger for signs of wear, such as rust or corrosion. Apply a few drops of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot point and move the trigger through its full range of motion to ensure smooth operation.
Tension Control
The ideal tension for a figure-4 trigger is between 5-7 pounds of pressure. To adjust the tension, loosen the nut holding the trigger in place, move the trigger to the desired position, and tighten the nut. Use a spring scale or a fish scale to measure the tension and achieve the optimal range.
Trigger Safety
To prevent accidental triggering, ensure the trigger is securely attached to the frame and not damaged. Check for any signs of wear or stress on the trigger and surrounding components. Regularly inspect the trigger’s pivot point and surrounding area for any debris or obstructions that could cause the trigger to malfunction.
