Thank you for that, Dirte. Always good skinny. I'm going to see how I like the light trigger in the field. Who knows, maybe I'll like it. Sandra did get back to me with basically the same info you've provided. She didn't mention the pins though. Is it possible to adjust a first stage?
Yeah, the owners manual is helpful re removing the bottle and stock, and the general procedure for adjusting the trigger. What I'm inquiring about is how is the trigger is reset (cocked) after the trigger assembly is removed from the receiver. Is the lever coming out the top simply cycled? Also, is there a sequential process required to set first stage travel and trigger weight?"Dirte"Did they give you an owners manual? No you don't need a torque wrench. Also my bottle has to be removed to clear the stock on my LRT.
Oh, OK; so the pins stay in, the trigger assembly stays in the receiver, and the rifle is simply cocked normally, right? Thanks for that picture; very helpful . The trigger came from Minor Hill set at only 4.7 oz with no first or second stage travel. I definitely do not feel comfortable with such a hair trigger."Dirte"I would just do it in the receiver. I edited my last post with a couple items. I have never adjusted mine. It is perfect the way it was set. If you don't feel comfortable ask Martin to do an exchange on trigger assemblies. I'm sure he would work something out for ya.
Humberto, thank you for that; it is extremely helpful . So, holding the cocking lever back while squeezing the trigger will not allow the hammer to hit the valve? Can the bottle be left on while doing this?"pocholoss"Hello, i have adjust a while ago my Raw trigger, it doesnt have a prestablished order, what i would do is put it back with the pins and all the stuff into the block and then follow this way:
1. Turn the B screw to create a first stage only 1/8 of a turn each time until you have a desirable first stage, you can check the first stage by cocking the gun and while holding the cocking lever pull the trigger until it fire and then slowly let down the lever, doing that you can feel the trigger as it fires.
2. When you move the first stage screw probably will affect the second stage, so you will need to adjust the C screw once you have a first stage, and you have to screw it preferably 1/8 of a turn until it gets crisp as you want.
3. Once you have your first and second stage at your likening, then you can screw clockwise the A screw until you have the trigger pressure at your preference, always check that the safety works at all time
Hope it helps, and if it doesnt, i remember i saw a diagram on internet explaining how to reset and adjust the trigger, maybe you can google it

Actually when i worked on the trigger i always remove the bottle and stock, its easier that way as its almost imposible to reach the screws with the stock on , then i flip over the action on my sand bags and then i make the adjustments, you have to hold the lever so you dont dry fire the gun as is has no air pressure and you could bent or brake the valve stem, so be careful with that!. After you are done with the adjustments put all back together and try the trigger with real ammo and that way you can realy feel how it works or if it needs more adjustments and do all again until you get it the way you like"marcella69"

No, you have to remove the bottle in order to remove the stock, there are instructions on your manual on how to do this"marcella69"

Yeah, Humberto (pocholoss) sent me a PDF file on the MK4 trigger. Thanks"scrane"Do a search for the Mk 4 Theoben Rapid trigger. That's what's in the RAW.
