easy enough. I have a semi-secret trigger job for the stock spyder that you can do yourself at home as long as you have a drill or anything that you can make an accurate and precise hole with. I'll go over the steps of shortening your trigger pull drastically. Mind you, I got mine down to 1/8th of an inch at the bottom of the travel (about 2.5-3 mm...I think). Step One: Back travel: You know how when you pull the trigger, the gun fires, then the trigger continues going back? This will stop it. Drill a hole in the trigger frame, just where the return spring is, then put a setscrew to fit in that hole. Make sure its long enough to keep the trigger from being pulled too far. Then re-install the spring over the setscrew. Depending on which way you put the screw in, you may have to adjust it inernally (take the frame off), or if the head is facing out (towards the trigger guard), then you can adjust it externally. Step 2: Front travel: The trigger will pull back pretty far before the gun fires, and here is how to get rid of it. If you take off the frame, then right over where the trigger foot (the horn that hits the back stop/return spring) there should be a hole. Find a setscrew that fits in the hole, then adjust it so that it pushes the trigger back to the point just before the gun fires. Step 3: Make it even shorter (optional): Theres a pin that the sear rests on when the gun isnt being fired. You take this pin out, put a piece of macroline by the hole (so that the pin will go through the line when you put it back) and put the pin back through the hole. This will raise the sear so that you can shorten travel even more. You could probally decrease that travel even more by drilling a hole up a little higher that will fir the pin, but I havent tried it, so there are no guarantees. If you need any more help, email me at ja007@attbi.com good luck, I hope you're happy with your trigger.
