trigger on a Crosman Silhouette pistol

[boscoebrea]

I have one of the originals,very accurate butt with a terrible trigger .I want to do whatever it takes to make the trigger worthy of the pistol.

Would appreciate any and all advice,I am going to keep the pistol forever .

 

[boscoebrea]

 for the above I should have mentioned it is the PCP model 1700 pistol.

The trigger frame assembly for a P'rod, 1701P, or 1720 will give you a true 2 stage adjustable trigger. I'm not sure if you will need the striker also, if your original doesn't have a flat bottom you will need the corresponding striker.

Have Fun

That sounds like the way,I looked it up,my pistol only has 2 screws holding the side cover and I am finding it hard to find a place to order the trigger group..Crosman saids it doesn't have parts for the 1701 ..strange....

you need a 2220-103 grip frame your hammer, striker is the same in both the 1700 and the 1720 and the 1701

you can just go to Crosman and look up the part numbers in there manual area

Have a picture of your pistol? 

I was thinking even the original 1700 had the same trigger as a prod or such. That was the first model I saw that trigger group in bu8t there is some chance that was a proto-type. Does yours have writing on the left side receiver or not? And I do not clearly remember they changed the loading tray area begining at the 1701 ?

No matter we all like seeing pictures and your pistol is already nearing Classic status.

I agree....I thought this pistol had the 2 stage PRod type trigger. Can you take the grip off and snap a pic? You may just need to adjust it.

 

[boscoebrea]

the 1700 and the 1701 have different trigger frames and triggers...Crosman put the two stage trigger in the 1701....

So if buying a 1700 remember it is old style funky trigger .

 

[boscoebrea]

I ordered the newer trigger frame and trigger group,found an article on how to make the older single stage work better and since I was getting the newer two stage decided to take my pistol apart and check it out,,,,what sloppy tolerances and fit..no wonder there is a big market on "tune up" trigger parts for it....good part it = soooo easy to fix,just a little work and know how and Money....I think of Crosman pistols as a starter kit,and it can be fun to make them "yours".

oh the 2240 pistol is about the only pistol that needs few factory parts, oh I know, I have one that I call my art projects but it is shiny, very silver
