Ian_ Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Second time I've tried shooting my g34 from a rest and found that the trigger pull went through the roof, any ideas? I'm totally perplexed... Details... The "rest" was homemade type at the club with a soft foam top covered in fabric. I held the gun a number of different ways (is there a right way?), had the issue on and off. Was shooting berrys 124's RN around 1000-1100 (haven't chrono'd). I have a ghost rocket connector installed, otherwise stock. Thoughts? Ian Edited February 11, 2012 by Ian_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterready Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Who installed the Rocket? Sounds like the over travel stop is not correct. How does it shoot free style? No support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_ Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I did the rocket, works fine freestyle has over a 1000rounds on it. Wondering if something like the limpwrist I've heard about or if the spongey rest is interfering with the reset? I did some shot with just the mag on a support and it worked fine, kinda hard on the hands though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hmm I had this happen a few times with my 34 but it was over 15000 rounds or so and it was not on a rest. However, my gun would not cycle properly if I grounded the butt on the bench while shooting it. I guess it was taking all the energy out of the gun? Your problem may be some variance of this same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_ Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Wondering if single loading with an extra "dry rack" or two may be needed? I was just shooting to check out the group with new sights, normally the bench just holds my gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much over travel is there when you tuned the Rocket? You need to have a bit or you'll have to deflect the trigger bar with greater effort to allow the striker to fall. If this is the case you'll get inconsistent pull forces at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_ Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 the force to pull the trigger, rested only, increases dramatically. When i installed the second rocket I did it with the owner of the company on the phone and finished at the point where it broke. This has only happened when shooting from a rest.

shooterready Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) You need a bit more over travel. When you are resting the muzzle on a rest it is rotating the slide at the rear down. This increases the sear engagement to the striker. At that point you have to pull pretty hard against the over travel stop of the Rocket to get the striker to fall. I've done at least 20 trigger jobs with the Rocket. I'm confident that this is the issue. Edited February 12, 2012 by shooterready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_ Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks Shooterready! I just finished a full strip and clean and finally got around to doing the 25 cent trigger job. After reassembly, no click....little harder pull and click...ahhh been here before. Strip reassemble to make sure I didn't miss anything, same... I take a wisper off the OT stop on the connector, put it all back togehter and voila nice click once again. So my deduction from your insight is that I was right on the edge with the OT stop, something about shooting on the rest caused it to be on the heavy side. It'll be a couple of weeks before I get to shoot it rested again, but tomorrow I'm off to my first shooting clinic where it'll get a good workout! Very best, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
