Umarex Notos trigger/safety

[SMH]

Picked up a Notos last week and the safety is not working. I’ve backed the trigger screw (the one that’s accessible from the outside)all the way out , but the rifle still fires on safe.

Edit: Sanded down the top of the trigger at the 2nd grub screw and she’s crisp and the safety will now engage.

IIRC back the screw by the pivot point out a ways.

If the owners manual hasn’t changed, the instructions are backwards.

Are you pushing that little button on the bottom right and left?

Yes. I’d try up and down if it would work.

i though on those kinda safety's when pushed right or left it would hit against the stock and keep it from in gauging?

That is correct! If the trigger/safety can be pulled back far enough to pull the sear off the hammer, it will fire.

Three reasons for the safety to fail:
1. The sear is too short or the hammer edge is worn.
2. The forward grub extends too far or the rear grub extends too far.
3. There is not enough material on the hand grip body.

In all cases, the sear dropps off allowing the hammer cylinder to go forward, striking the valve pin.

I have seen unhardened hammers wear down causing unintended firings, sears that have been ground down and grub screws out so far that the trigger releases the sear before the safety engages the body.

I’ve also tried running the second grub screw all the way flush and it still makes no difference. Any ideas?

Well their always?screw a flat head screw into the stock and back it out until the safety engages.
