Nimitz Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) so i had to replace my hammer do to wear apparently caused by the over travel screw being set "too far in". it had been such that the screw was just slightly protruding out the back of the trigger. i turned it CCW until it was flush with the back of the trigger and now when i slowly release the hammer while pulling the trigger it doesn't feel like it's scrapping against the sear. my question is, how far out to folks have this set screw? The gun has the SRT as well, thx Edited January 22, 2015 by Nimitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If you have a short reset disco, you probably don't need the screw at all. I don't use them.It all depends on how the tolerances stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Pics on the way from two of my SP01 shadows, but my over travel screw doesn't extend past the trigger at all on either gun. On a previous SAO shadow it did about two threads worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same once i put thr preb disco in the gun i didnt need thr screw and just removed it completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 though on the all black gun it looks like it is out, it is only the angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 yep, on my shadows (both) that run the old style 85 combat triggers and have the short reset disco's I could not wind out any overtravel at all before the hammer started dragging on the sear. both screws got taken out as any less overtravel than just the back of the trigger will be not enough. I would suggest take the screw out. you don't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rack&roll Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Mine too, was scraping the sear when I manually lowered the hammer, so I tried backing OT screw out, and I stripped the screw head! It wouldn't budge... so I just filed and dremeled the portruding part of the OT screw behind the trigger pad until it was flush...never missed it and never looked back!

kneelingatlas Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If you're like me and a hole with no set screw bothers you, the 97B trigger is the same as the old style 85C trigger, but without the screw (costs less too!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emjei Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) @keelingatlas do you have an extra 97B Trigger to sell ?? CZ USA wont ship to Puerto Rico....everybody else does since we are US territory Edit: PM Responded Edited January 23, 2015 by emjei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lior Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Tried to "TSify" a SA trigger on my Shadow by playing with the pretravel and overtravel. Conclusion: it isn't worth it, in terms of lost reliability. Learn to live with the trigger as it comes out of the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you need to make the SA trigger more like the TS is shorter hammer hooks and internal polishing. I've tuned a sub 2# trigger on a SA using the by shorting the hooks on a stock hammer.
