In fact I had been facing the problem with my FX Royale 400. Its trigger if pulled all the way to 1st stage would stick there and will not come back until I push it back with my finger.
I have read a lot of complaints about this matter. I talked to FX Sweden and they advised to adjust the 2nd stage screw and tight it a bit. I did it but now the trigger was a bit harder than my liking.

I went on thinking. I conceived a few options to resolve it. A bit of re-greasing also helped but the matter was not resolved 100%.

I wanted to find out a way which not only I could apply but any one else with a very little technical knowledge could apply. This must be an out of the box solution. Easy and reversible.

What I did is that I placed a tiny spring on the upper side of the 1st stage adjustment screw. I kept it at a tilt angle so that it could be seated on the wood stock.

Now this additional spring which you can see in the pics pushes back the trigger a bit. We just need as little hardness in this additional spring which could just push it back when the OEM spring fails to push the trigger back from the 1st stage.

I never wanted to alter the OEM spring as that spring engages the sear. Any modification in that spring could make the gun unsafe. It could auto fire and the sear could wear out too quickly.

So this is my out of the box solution which I share with all of you so that any one who has similar problem could resolve it oneself.

I am also going to talk to Mr. Fredrick of FX if he could do similar arrangement in all fx guns which come with similar trigger.

Now I am able to keep the 2nd stage very light and every time I pull the trigger all the way of 1st stage and leave it, it goes back.

I hope this will help.

Mubhaur, did it increase the first stage pull weight? I also had trigger issues with my 500 but it wasn't the trigger returning to it's home position if the gun wasn't fired. Mine was not being able to feel the second stage with enough definition to know that I was there. At times the gun would fire before I was ready. I ended up lightening the first stage more to give me that differential in feel. I'm ok with the trigger not returning unless it's helped back. I'm afraid adding a spring like you did would increase the first stage weight that in my case I've been trying to lighten. My second stage is set at 7-8oz so any additional weight to the first probably wouldn't help on my current setup.

Ernest did a video on adjusting the trigger assembly on the Boss which actually different than the 400 and 500's trigger and the trigger blade which does self return. Michael replaced the trigger on his 400 (I believe) with the Boss's assembly so that might be an option for us as well. Thanks for time and effort and for posting the mod though.

Good news on mine. I shot it today after tweaking the trigger a few days ago and I guess I was so happy with the feel of the the solid, defined second stage that I didn't notice that the trigger was returning to its home position after pulling it through the first stage against the second and then removing my finger. Now if the the dang wind will stop blowing..😡
