Daystate Power Adjustment via Daystate Slingshot Hammer Length of Throw adjustment

[EPG]

Hi Daystate Tuners,

I'm looking to adjust the Length of Hammer Throw on a Daystate Wolverine R...

Huntsmen Regal/Revere:
This excellent Sub12 YouTube video shows how length of hammer throw is adjusted on a Huntsman. I believe that all Daystate slingshot hammers allow this same adjustment, but it may require more disassembly and be more inconvenient on a Wolverine:

Wolverine R:
On Wolverine R, it appears that you can’t do the iterative adjustment process that you can on the Huntsmen – because you had to remove the Wolverine R trigger to gain access to the locking grub screw on the slingshot hammer. Also, as per my photo, the rear port appears blocked. You may be able to pull up on the rear cap release pin (it won’t release the rear cap as the grub screws are still in place) to allow the allen key to be inserted, but I have not tried that yet.

Finally, because you have to remove the Wolverine R’s trigger to gain access to the locking grub screw on the hammer, I’m not sure what will happen if you try to cock the rifle without the trigger installed (probably will not cock as no pressure on trigger sear). In any case, without the trigger installed you can't do the iterative "shoot, view chrono, adjust, view chrono) type of power adjustment process like you can with the Huntsman... or can you...?


Does anyone have any experience adjusting the SS hammer length of throw on a Wolverine R? If, yes, were you able to do it with the trigger installed - or do you have to disassemble and remove the rear cap to access the SS hammer adjustment (allen key into rear of hammer)?

Thanks,

-Ed

I helped a club member a few weeks ago decrease his .22 Wolverine R velocity by adjusting the hammer stroke and I think it was the same way that my Revere is done. The stock had to be removed but the trigger did not have to be removed. There was no pin blocking the rear access.

I agree... just adjusted my wifes some. I had to toggle the safety to get the long Allen wrench into the hole but didn't have to take the trigger assembly off...

Thanks. A bit brain dead of me as I see my 4 trigger mounting screw holes don’t block the hammer lock down grub screw - so the trigger can remain installed.

Its just that my trigger wasn’t mounted when the power adjustment question came up. Its been a bit since I’ve had the trigger on as I’m working on a few things.

Question on adjusting power on Wolverine: is it necessary to have the rifle cocked (like the Huntsman) when adjusting? It seems from the location of the hammer locking grub on the Wolverine that you could adjust without cocking the rifle…

Thanks,

Depends on how long your allen key is. The hammer has to be cocked on the hunstman because that is where the grub screw access hole is. Hammer at rest and there is no hole for the grub screw.
