Did a search and found nothing about this so figured I'd ask.
Has any one of you adjusted the trigger on your AEA Challenger big bore?
I have a .457 long gun version, not the bullpup. And am curious if it can be done.
It's pull weight is quite heavy and I'd like it a little lighter if possible.

Thx

I have not adjusted the trigger, but I did polish up the moving/rubbing surfaces on my bullpup with success in how clean it pulls and breaks. I'm not sure how much difference is between the two rifle styles besides the trigger linkage and the stocks. The sear is likely the same style and are made pretty crudely, so a good mirror polishing with a Dremel tool and polishing compound to all the moving surfaces will likely make it operate much better.

Also, though mine is a bullpup, I had discovered that part of the stock interfered with the smooth operation of the sear mechanisms. It needed a little bit of wood removal clearancing with a Dremel tool. The lighter wood is what was removed. You may have the same thing going on inside of your stock.

So far mine seems to work properly it's just got a high pull weight. Would like to lighten it if possible. When you had to remove the extra wood in the stock, what made you find this out? Was the trigger not working or dragging or what?

Polishing the parts makes the higher pull weight go down; less drag but still maintaining the correct break point so as not to be dangerous. As far as the additional wood inletting goes, I had noticed a wooden clunk on the back of the stock when I jiggled the trigger. I don't think it was always cocking correctly like it was either.
