Best $135 I ever spent!

The Crosman Challenger Trigger group works for the Maximus/Discovery/Fortitude1/fortitude2.

Just need to make a gasket shim from a credit or gift card to act as a spacer so the sears don't get damaged.

 I’m going to end up putting one on my fortitude then. Every time I say to myself that I’m done spending money on air gun stuff except for Pellets of Course,I still end up buying things pretty much on a regular basis. At least I don’t feel alone because the addiction is real. I just can’t spend the big bucks like some of you guys.

I bet you gonna change all your triggers to the Challenger trigger (with credit or gift card gasket) after you do your first one. Don't forget to remove the lawyer spring if you want the lightest possible trigger.

It's the most significant improvement aside from the TKO (OR THE $27 ONE OUNCE LDC).

Crosman Challenger Trigger group .

I may try this with my PP750, most likely will need to swap the hammer as well...............

btw. about maybe 5-6 years ago I swap out a trigger from my TenPoint Vapor to triggertech, unbelievable difference.

 

[Odoyle]

They can also be improved by adding spacers on the pins to take up the slack after you remove the lawyer spring. You will see which pins need them. Still very good without them though.

I can’t find a challenger trigger group anywhere!!!

will the marauder gen 1 trigger group worry or be an improvement?

 

[Hummer57]

How do you get the front sight off the Maximus? And what’s needed to put a $27 one ounce LLC on it?

 

[MJS]

^ Tap the front sight forward with a block of wood. Mine came right off. I installed a TKO moderator.

I've had my Maximus for almost 4 yrs. It still shoots great. I did the Baker trigger/spring mod and that was a big improvement. Also, that 2000 psi fill is easy on you, the gun, and the pump. Don't let the "entry level" designation mislead you. It's very accurate, hard hitting, reliable and fun to shoot. 

 

[Hummer57]

The adjustable brass trigger and spring from Baker? I can’t find any other replacement trigger! How does the TKO attach?

 

[MJS]

Yes, this:

and here's the video on installing it. Replacing the spring gives you the big improvement.

The TKO attaches with two small allen screws that come with the moderator..

The GEN1 Marauder trigger is the same trigger as the Challenger you can use YES. 

You buy the Challenger trigger direct from Crosman at parts department via PHONE CALL. 

It's the GEN2 Marauder trigger that won't work.

Actually add a WTB Gen1 Marauder and Challenger trigger group too. May get for $30-$40 maybe less since a new one $60-$65.

Have the $35-$40 Baker trigger in a Fortitude and it's not even close to the factory modded 3 screw OEM. LOOKS NICE though but not worth the $$$ spent when a little more gets the true match grade Hem1 Marauder/Challenger trigger.

Need to cut a gasket from a credit card for it otherwise ruin the sear.

Some places sell the trigger with gasket for a little more outside of Crosman. Whomever took over Lloyds disco double business for one and probably member NRN2015 But in Nelapudi NICK too.

I don’t know if you have the generation one or two fortitude. But Baker airgun told me that the trigger will not work in a generation two.I bought the stainless steel one for my maximus but I really don’t care for it because it leans too Far forward and makes your finger slide up the trigger when you try to pull it. I was just suggesting the baker Trigger because it is shaped much better.

I put install multiple O-rings on trigger blades that are odd in shape or are not too comfortable.

Those look good but not trying to get into a big discussion again but I was wondering that don’t you have to cut away some of the trigger guard that is built into the fortitude stock to install the Challenger trigger? 

 

[Odoyle]

I don't recall a trigger guard being built into a Fortitude stock. The action should come right out just like Discovery and Maximus triggers once you pry the safety detent holding spring and set safety to the middle position the stick comes right out and trigger guard still attached trigger group and bolted to the action. The OEM trigger groups have integral plastic trigger guards.

 

[Ripper]

Yes the trigger guard is part of the stock. It’s basically the same stock as the maximus.

 

[Ripper]

 No never mind. You’re right. I must’ve been thinking of one of my other guns. I had to go in there and look at the fortitude again. It’s been a little while since I shot it.But I did look at a challenger trigger that I don’t remember what company was selling it online. But if I’m not mistaken, they said in the description that the trigger guard area had to be modified a little bit. Just on the fortitude. Now don’t Quote me on that though.

I have the Challenger trigger on both my Disco and Fortitude. Only way to go IMO. The Maximus I just got from Midway USA (couldn’t resist the $135 sale either) will get one also. You will have to modify the Fortitude and Maximus stock a little for the Challenger trigger guard. It’s not difficult to do. The Disco wood stock required no modifications. I tried the Baker brass trigger on the Disco and I didn’t care for it any more than the OEM Disco trigger. 
DiscosRUs is temporary closed however. Which is too bad. The metal shim they sell with trigger makes things rather simple.
