Only 19 lbs. of cocking effort. • • • • • • Vibration vs velocity For many years, I have written and believed that high velocity destroys the accuracy of pellets. I developed solid ideas that seemed to be based in science and aerodynamics to explain why this was so. After 18 years of writing and explaining this phenomenon to my readers, I had developed a very convincing argument. There was just one problem: I may not have been right. Velocity may not destroy accuracy as much as vibration does. Of all the airgun powerplants, the springpiston is the one that vibrates when it fires. And the harder it works, the more it vibrates. Coincidentally, the harder-working spring-piston powerplants are also the more powerful ones that develop the highest velocity. So, high velocity was always associated with the guns that vibrated the most. In December 2011, I did an extensive test of a spring-piston gun in which I was able to independently control both the velocity and the vibration of the gun. The rifle was a handmade Whiscombe recoilless springpiston air rifle “The springthat allows both piston is the one the adjustment of velocity for that vibrates any given pellet, when it fires.” plus it has a vibration-tuning device called the Harmonic Optimized Tuning System or HOTS. The test was constructed to demonstrate that pellets became inaccurate when they went supersonic, but it failed to prove that. Instead, a certain very light pellet was considerably more accurate at 1,216 f.p.s. than it was at 772 f.p.s. when shot from the same gun. That contradicted my theory about high velocity destroying accuracy. Because I had the HOTS available, I was able to adjust the gun to vibrate optimally at every speed. I adjusted it for the pellet going 1,216 f.p.s., and the group that had been the largest shrank to half its former size, making it the smallest of all. So, vibration rather than velocity had determined how accurate that particular spring-piston pellet gun was. But the Whiscombe is a unique air rifle. No other spring-piston rifle can do what it does. I haven’t had time to test if the effects of vibration can be tuned on other airguns—at least not conclusively. I’m testing an aftermarket vibration-tuning device on another spring rifle; but as of this time, there hasn’t been enough testing done. The results do look promising, however. More testing is needed before I can say for certain that velocity does not affect accuracy. I’ll need to test pellets in precharged rifles that don’t vibrate as much as springers to get a better idea of how higher velocity influences accuracy—if it does at all. All I’m prepared to say at this time is that I believe vibrations have a greater effect than velocity on the accuracy of pellets.

As these surfaces wear, the characteristics of the trigger-pull will change. These are the triggers that everyone warns should not use moly grease. The BSF trigger comes to mind as a standout in this characteristic. In contrast, the Rekord uses multiple levers to control the sear release. As a result, the release may be made very light without compromising any operational safety. A well-worn BSF rifle can fire by itself, given enough time. A Rekord trigger should never do that! Safety: Yes or no? The target Rekord has a locking ring around the adjustment screw. The Rekord trigger with its crossbolt safety is a unitized part that drops into a gun and is retained by two cross pins. by Tom Gaylord In the world of airgun triggers, one name stands above all others—the Rekord. It’s been around for over half a century, and—like the 1911 pistol—it’s still the design that’s most often copied. It’s found on many models of the Weihrauch air rifle, including those imported under the Beeman label. A Rekord trigger is unitized and housed in a folded sheet metal box. It has a latch to catch and hold a piston with a central rod and cannot be adapted to pistons that catch on the periphery. Its safety is a spring-loaded crossbolt that sets automatically when the trigger is cocked. The act of cocking the trigger moves a lever out of the way of the spring-loaded safety button. Once the safety has moved, it must be pushed back intentionally. What makes a Rekord so good? I’m sure new airgunners must wonder what all the fuss is about. Why does everyone rave about a Rekord? I would have to say it’s two things. First, they’re two-stage triggers with crisp second stages; second, they’re highly adjustable. Don’t think that a Rekord is the lightest trigger on the market, because it clearly isn’t. There are triggers on 10-meter target rifles that release the sear with less than two ounces of pressure. A properly adjusted Rekord sporting model should go no lower than about one pound. So why make all the fuss? The fuss is because the Rekord comes on airguns with power. Ten-meter guns shoot no faster than about 650 f.p.s. on their best day. They’re pussycats compared to the guns the Rekord must control! The powerful Beeman R1, for example, has a coiled mainspring that’s under 150+ pounds of compression when the gun is cocked. Yet, the trigger can be set to release the piston with very little effort, and do it safely time after time...with repeatable results. Other spring guns have triggers that rely on Fax: 216-896-0896 The sporting Rekord has a single adjustment screw behind the trigger blade. What a student of Weihrauch airguns soon discovers is that the Rekord trigger can be used with or without a safety. Several models of rifles have been made both ways. Some, like the HW55 target models, never had a safety; while others, like the HW80, always had one. The trigger doesn’t need the safety to function, so the parts can be left off the gun, though that’s never recommended. Purists can identify five different variations of the Rekord. The two that stand apart are the one with a safety—installed on sporting air rifle, and the other that has no safety—found on target models. The first variation is the one I’ll call the sporting trigger, for it’s found on Weihrauch’s sporting guns. How low can it go? Behind the trigger blade is a long aluminum screw that adjusts the pull weight by changing the return-spring tension. It’s the single feature that most people identify with a Rekord. Turn it in to increase the tension and pull weight and out to decrease. It’s possible to clip some coils off the return spring so there’s no tension at all on the trigger. After this is done when you pull the first stage, the trigger blade never goes back to where it was. It just hangs there...limp and moveable. Only by cocking the gun again it can be reset. It’ll give a very light second-stage release, but overall it’s an undesirable modification to make. Instead, you’re better off with a lighter return spring that always has some tension but doesn’t add much to the trigger-pull weight. You get that by removing the standard trigger return spring and installing one made of thinner wire. How do I know this is safe? Because that’s PyramydAir.com Continued on page 34 33 Rekord %%(!" Continued from page 33 exactly what Weihrauch did when they turned their sporting trigger into a target trigger. The HW55 has a Rekord with no safety and a very light trigger-return spring. If the pull is adjusted to the lower range— say six ounces or less, then the return spring places no tension on the trigger blade. Once the trigger is pulled to the end of stage one...but the gun is not shot, the trigger blade just flops around loose until the gun fires. Fine-tuning a Rekord As easy as the Rekord is to adjust, it’s not quite so simple to tune. There are levels of lubrication and tuning that can be done, each of which makes the unit just a little better and more special. Let’s take a look at them now. "'&"*!!'&%*! %'&#%!&*' "!''%%#%'&'" ") ' *!'&%%&& %%" &'"!%" ##%%% &%" #%' "( %$(% "(%$(% "!( #%' %' &'&%! !' (&' !'&%*'%&"! ''"!(#%' "!' (&''(!&&+"(%'%% &!(&''"! (!&"!'"!+&" "! &"%'%%&"( *+&)'*"&'&'" " #'+& Trigger adjustment The easiest thing you can do to your Rekord is adjust the trigger return-spring tension. On the sporting trigger, this is accomplished by simply turning the adjustment screw located behind the trigger blade. Turn it in to increase the tension and therefore the trigger-pull; turn out to lighten the pull. A hole in the triggerguard allows a narrow-bladed screwdriver access to this screw, so the gun can remain in the stock while the trigger is being adjusted. Clean and lube The next step would be a simple clean and lube. For this and all procedures that follow, the trigger unit has to be separated from the action. The first step is to clean the trigger. I’ve seen Rekords with all stages of factory lubrication in them. That’s to say nothing about what might be found on a trigger someone else has worked on. The factory usually over-lubricates the trigger with thin, general-purpose petroleum grease. It will be found everywhere inside the trigger box, with no particular spot being favored. Sometimes, there will be just a general blob of grease in the box, as though put there as an afterthought. Either way, the factory grease must be removed for best performance. The factory lubricates each airgun never knowing how long it’ll be in-transit to the sales floor, in storage or even where in the world it will wind up. They lube for the worst case—and for everything else, they’ve done too much. You remove their grease and leave a tiny bit of moly grease on the sear contact point. That point is shown in the drawing, and you can see it when you cock the trigger by pressing down on the back of the long hook that grabs the rear of the piston rod. See the drawing to see what it looks like when cocked. You can also apply a small amount of lubricating oil to each of the two bushings that pass through the side of the trigger box. That’s all there is to this level of lubrication. Full-blown tune For a full-blown tune up, the trigger must be 34 &'"!&%)%#%' #"!'""!'' '*!'(##% %%&%"#%' !''"!( #%' &*%+"( (''%% %( !( &%*(&'&'%% %'(%!&#%!'!&"!*'"#( ',&(&%(&' disassembled. All the bushings and pins must be removed and the parts taken out of the trigger box. Then, each part should be examined and all rough edges and burrs removed. No stoning of the contact surfaces is required because of the design of the trigger. It works through levers and contact points rather than sliding contact surfaces. Pay attention to the adjustment and operation of each lever. The sear contact area can be adjusted by screw 52a (shown in the drawing on the part called the tongue), but it usually doesn’t need anything. After cleaning and smoothing the parts, this trigger should work as well as it’s ever going to. This is also the time when a tuner will modify the trigger return spring and sometimes the trigger blade. In the unlikely event that there’s any side play in the parts, this is also the time when shims are introduced to take up the slop. But that usually isn’t necessary unless the trigger has a lot of use or has been modified by someone before. Troubleshooting There are two problems Rekords can have. The first is that someone has adjusted the sear contact area so it’s too small, making the trigger unsafe. You should be able to cock the trigger and not fire it by jarring it. If you do this when it’s in the gun, make sure there’s a pellet in the gun and that the muzzle is always pointed in a safe direction. Remember to fire the gun when you’re done if it doesn’t fire during the test. The other problem is that sometimes the safety spring gets caught between the safety button and the receiver, locking the safety. Use a plastic hammer to tap it off safe when this happens. Dress both ends of the safety spring to keep it from happening. An airgunner has every right to be proud when he owns a gun with a Rekord trigger. Some feel it’s the best part of the airgun.
