I am looking to improve the trigger on my Crosman 2300S. Ebay has a lot of trigger replacements and sear replacements. One is a trigger with a roller bearing where it contacts the sear. But another caught my eye: Alliance Hobby's two stage trigger system. At $100, I need to get other's opinions on this before I risk that kind cash. You can see Alliance's page on this at http://alliancehobby.com/twostage.htm.

Has anyone out there tried this trigger system? Did it significantly improve your trigger pull? Is is worth $100?
 
I have received a quote from Mountain Air for $78 that includes the trigger group and a modified hammer to accommodate my hidden breech screw. But I also got a recommendation from someone on a different forum to just order a whole P-rod trigger assembly/grip frame from Crosman, as well as the P-rod's hammer, striker, hammer pin, and front acetal pin. Trouble with that is that it doesn't look like the P-rod's hammer accommodates the hidden breech screw. And I don't know what the front acetal pin does.

Maybe Crosman is cheaper, but I'm afraid that some of these Marauder parts aren't going to fit. Any comments on this?
 
My advice would be to not do business with Alliance Hobby. I placed an order back in May and he never filled it. Fortunately, my credit card was not billed.

None of my email questions about the order were ever answered.

Over on the GTA forum there was a thread going with a lot of similar experiences. Some of the more unfortunate people were charged but no merchandise appeared.
 
If Crosman has everything in stock, buy from them: you'll save money and establish a relationship.

The little short front hammer pin is not needed, and the parts will work on a 2300, been there done that.

I did that once, I had to buy all the individual parts and that was rather expensive. Then for the second I did some more research and a gentleman, cannot remember who did not have any of the assemblies in stock advised me where to look on ebay. I got the complete assembly with the housing(grip) for a little more than half of ordering the parts from Crosman. I have ordered parts from Crosman on numerous occcasions and their customer service is excellent,
