Trigger & Safety Stripdown The Trigger mechanism on the stealth can seem a little
convoluted in its operation. However, once the basic principles are understood,
it's a simple and robust unit. The only adjustment of the trigger itself is for
over-travel (the amount of movement left in the trigger after the sear has been
released). The trigger 'shoe' or finger-piece may also be adjusted for comfort. The basic principle of operation relies 3 steel 'bars'. These are the Trigger Bar (Yellow), The Intermediate Bar (green) and the Sear Bar (Blue). These bars are balanced in equilibrium on locating pins and assisted by small springs. When aligned and 'set' the Sear bar resists shear movement in the vertical plane which is exerted by the Hammer Slide pressing against its inclined face.
Once the safety has been disengaged, the sear drops slightly preventing the baulk piece re-engaging (this is the audible 'click' when you take off the safety catch) and the Hammer is then held only by the Trigger mechanism.
Re-cocking the rifle allows each of the trigger springs to reassert themselves and the trigger bars automatically return to their previous state, (Top picture) the safety baulk piece slides back beneath the sear and the Trigger Mechanism is once again locked and ready.
