Just received my Airmaks Caiman in 22. There appears to be 2 trigger adjustment screws, one with a lock down screw, does anyone know the 2 screws do?

. it is a gun I am eventually interested in.Yes, I agree!
I just got and have only shot it in my 15 yd indoor range, which is fun for springers but all my pcp's just go in the same hole.
I will be taking out Weds and Thurs for pellet, chrony and accuracy testing. I plan on posting a review after.
So far I am pleased, shooting 18gr at at 835 and 16gr at 870, great feel, dark green stock I like, loud, tried a Tanto and it is smaller than the shroud so looked funky, so back on my Bantam HR, currently sporting a Sumo which is great, but Tues will have a Tatsu as the permanent mod to keep shorter.

...this could be the Caiman thread...just edit trigger out of the title...!!!...
...how many Caiman threads do we want...?!?...
...I am already not liking how loud the action is...I suppose it being right next to my ear is not helping...

...if you call Utah they will tell you...
...I learned from a you tube video that if you make the trigger perfect the safety won't fit back in...

The safety thing was from Steve's Blog at AEAC, however he only mentioned there were 2 screws to adj trigger and no detail.
I do not know how anything that small yet powerful could not generate some noise.
I did email UTAH where I bought it regarding the trigger adjustment but have not received a reply yet.

As noted in the "other" Caiman thread, I do like both of mine, note, the word, "both".
I can't help with the trigger adjustment, as both of mine are more than good as received from the factory. Nice light take-up, crisp, short let-off. I don't have a load gauge so I don't know the actual pull weights, but it's not bad at all.
To those with super sensitive hearing, I wonder if a layer of automotive sound deadener in the stock might help quiet these sounds. I have some left over from a car that I'm working on. I'll see if - 1. there's enough clearance between the stock and the receiver, and 2. if the sound deadener does anything, (it should). But on the other hand, since mine don't seem to be noisy, I may not be able to tell..! I'll check the fit in any case.
I DO know, that it makes a huge, positive difference in the Walther Reign. I put a few pieces on the inside of that stock, it made a very noticeable difference in that guns odd sounds. Those I did...hear !
I removed all of the factory baffles from my Caiman, and put a short 0dB suppressor on it. It's very quiet now. Note that it's not shooting at 900fps either ! I put two of the removed baffles on the Caiman X. It helped a little, but it would be nice if it was a little quieter. I don't want to add a bunch of stuff to make the length outside of my self imposed "bullpup" length of 30". Back when center fire Bullpups hit the market, they were...pretty short.

From Travis at Utah Airguns:
Thanks for reaching out to us. The picture I have attached shows two ways to adjust the trigger. The first adjusts direct sear engagement and will make the trigger lighter, and could possibly render it unsafe if taken too far. Small adjustments will make a big difference.
The second way shortens the first stage take-up. You will need to unclip the rod bracket from the trigger sear and loosen the lock nut and then you can twist that bracket up the rod, which will shorten your first stage.
