FX Maverick/Wildcat Trigger Adjustment
- Thread starter sparker
- Start date
The safety has it's own set screw, you can see it in the first picture. The two screws do not meet each other, so I'm not saying you're wrong- just trying to understand, how does "C" interact with the safety? I can't see any mechanical interactions between them.

I believe it might be 2nd stage length of pull (deleted my last post as it applied to wrong gun(s). Sorry

I believe it’s for over travel. When trigger is pulled and releases,the travel to it stops is adjusted with it,,,seen it on one of you tube videos

Watching it in action, this seems to make sense. I assume it's to give the trigger a firm feel at the bottom of the pull.

C is a travel limit if memory serves. Use EXTREME caution when messing with F & G. a very very very tiny bit can make a significant change, they work in concert. Ernst Roe has a good tutorial but I tend to disagree with him 'twisting' the screws. It is possible to take your two stage and turn it into a single if that is your desire.

Yeah I just went through a whole tank of air dry firing and playing with it. Pretty cool the way they work together.

Does the trigger sear normally have that crack? It’s so tiny it’s hard to tell if it’s machined that way. I was checking out the hammer internals and noticed this. Everything works fine, just caught my attention.

Screw C:
Flip your safety back and forward. With the gun cocked and loaded this safety lever should move freely all the way forward and to back.
With the gun uncocked, unloaded, like you’re going to put it away, from the factory if one were to pull the safety rearward it would stop and not go all the way back. There’s a reason the factory sets it like this. That would tell you, months later, just by noticing that stop, the gun is not cocked and shouldn’t be loaded. That’s how I keep mine, just like it was set up at the factory. But some folks with gorilla thumbs pull back to that stop AND KEEP PULLING, and end up tweaking/bending that safety rod . So what they do to bypass the factory setting is unscrew screw C so the safety rod misses that screw and cocked or uncocked, the safety can go all the way rearward now.
I like the function that it stops short from going all the way rearward, that way I know the gun hasn’t been cocked, and since I’m the only one that uses the wildcat, I know then it’s not loaded

It’s been awhile but on the safety rod there’s a tiny grub and that along with screw C have something to do with what I explained above

Yes, the FX sears have that "crack" in them. 1st time I tore down my gun for repair/maintenance I was concerned about it too but the new sear I bought is the same.
