N/A Daisy 853 expert i have a question

[marflow 777]

i have had a 853 for years one of those rifles that i bid on with the hope i would lose no luck there
i got it out a few weeks back to do something with it and notice the safety did not feel right and it did not have the spring and ball easy fix i have that stuff on hand
so i had a chance to re assemble the trigger housing and that went okay and then installed the sear spring easy enough
but thought maybe i could get a lighter spring and found a replacement and then tested the trigger without it all together no spring
trigger works fine without it and it is a bit lighter
so the hammer spring resets the sear and the sear spring does what
is the sear spring even needed as of now i would say no
opinions please

Did you bump test it without the spring?

 

[marflow 777]

nope

 

[dv8eod]

Nope you didn't try or nope it didn't pass?

no the gun is still apart
Daisy makes there trigger very oddly
so the 853 has a sear and it has 2 springs attached one is -m was the sear spring and it's job is the hold the sear up, so it catches the hammer that is it
but on the other end you have a hammer spring that is pushing the hammer back and up at the same time and the hammer spring it in compression at all times, anyone put these back together will tell you how many times they have reset everything to put the side cove one
so the sear spring is really doing nothing and my question was why is it there
now if they had made the assembly different 2 things would have happened you would have a great trigger because the hammer spring is what the trigger is trying to overcome and you would have to need a sear spring
but the hammer spring would not in any way be connected to the sear could it be reengineered will that is what i have been thinking about
so no test yet

I'll get my book out tomorrow and see if I can find an answer. It's been a long time since I've had mine apart. That was to do the screw mod to lighten the trigger up.

Ok. Going through what I have, the best I can figure is the sear spring is there to guarantee the sear engages like it is supposed to. The book says that that trimming it and the trigger spring will give you a lighter pull. Pretty sure without the sear spring it most likely won't pass a bump test.
That's the best I got. Let us know how it goes.
