Impact M3 Trigger

[Spartan]

With the long list of EBR podiums credited to the Impact platform (not necessarily the M3, though), I was quite surprised at how much mush there is on the second stage.

Don't get me wrong, it's on OK trigger...for a bullpup. But certainly not what I was expecting given that podium pedigree. Not match-grade by a long shot, IMO.

So what are you all doing to get a cleaner break?

We watched an Ernest Rowe video and adjusted it

I redesigned the trigger and made one for my own M3. It works great for me.
Original trigger has design flaws which I couldn't fix 100% by any other mod like what Ernest advised etc.

Another "fix" is a lighter return spring.
Cutting...the original spring may cause the trigger to NOT come back into battery if you remove too many coils. But the use of a slightly long spring of a lesser compressed load, you lighten the trigger load, AND the trigger will still properly return into is rest position (battery).

familiarize yourself with the trigger adjustments and adjust it yourself.

mine has no mush or creep,
and not really any noticeable overtravel.

U should be able to tune out any mush.

Open the side panel and watch the trigger action as u cock and fire the gun. U can hold back to handle so it doesn’t fire.
Once u have a clear understanding of how the sear/Pac-Man works. Start fine tuning

I watched Newman's video and adjusted using his procedure. I now have a 6-8 ounce single stage trigger with a crisp release.

It depends on you level of ability on tuning triggers..
Also the tools you have access to.
Here is what I did to get my M3 trigger light, smooth and breaks clean.
Also if I advance the trigger to the 2nd... I can back off and the trigger will return correctly!
No Manual resetting.

Correcting the only Major Flaw of the FX M3....The Trigger

It was a shame that such a nice PCP with great Potential... Would have such a bad Trigger action! Out of the box, the trigger was at least 8lbs..If I remember correctly. After getting new springs. Trimming them down. You could get a light trigger pull, but it had a hitch in the movement. If got...

The Impact isnt really a full on bullpup imo. The trigger in particular is more of a traditional setup and engages directly with the hammer/sear systems. There arent any long rods or linkages to cause slop issues like found in your typical bullpup. My Impact has a terrific trigger. I have some match time and consider it "match grade" for whatever thats worth. Sounds like the trigger you have tried is not adjusted well.

I love my M3. I love most everyone about it. The weight is a bit much. The trigger is disappointing for an air gun that costs north of $2K.
I worked on mine for hours. Back and forth, take apart and put together several times. Finally gave up on a two stage trigger and settled for a single stage. It is pretty good, but I would have preferred a two stage. I just got tired of messing with it.
