rapid 7 problem

[mad1]

my mk1 rapid has just developed a big problem . I will be takin it to the shop but i was wondering if its happened to any one else and what causes it . The problem is when you pull the bolt back to engage the pellet when you knock the safety off this causes it to fire without touchin the trigger . Any ideas

Either worn or over modded trigger internals?

Is the trigger 2 stage adjustable? Maybe been over adjusted?

try unscrewing the nut behind the hammer, it sounds like its too far forward, 1/2 a turn should do it. if that doesnt cure it then your trigger sear may be worn Mk 1 could be over 15 years old

It shouldnt need to go back to the shop but to keep you happy then do so,

Some people turn them all the way in then encounter the problem you had, there is more to increasing the power than just turning a screw, and to be honest with you it will not be worth the agro you may end up being in, Glad i was some help
