Dear Shooters:
I apologize for being so brassy the other day! I do understand your problem. I'm sorry for my littany of outbursts on triggers (and every other problem).
Now, you can take your airgun out of the stock and look at the trigger mechanism, Generally, the trigger is the sear that holds back the spring plunger and these are generally stampings. You could (uncocked) remove that trigger and with a fine stone without changing the angle slick up the parts. Also, you might be able to get a little less stiff spring to use. But be careful. Hope you do it OK. Congratulations on wanting to correct things by yourself. Again, I apologize for my brassy reply - I get that way sometimes!
