Trigger adjust

   I have a Gamo Wildcat Whisper in .22 and the trigger is terrible. I understand ii is possible to improve them (at least a bit) with a longer sear screw. Size is apparently M2.5x either 8mm or 10mm. But I don't know where to get one.
Any advice?

	Do I look like an idiot? Don't answer that.

	I have the same gun and yes the trigger is not great and would be interested in how you get on with this. Aunty Google has thrown up the following links that may help - both are located in NZ https://pilotpetes.nz/product/m2-5x10-in-hex-machine-screws-304-stainless-4-pcs https://nz.element14.com/c/fasteners-mechanical/fasteners-fixings/screws-bolts/machine-screws?thread-size-metric=m2.5 I just had a thought - Ron Young sells Gamos and may either have some, or know where to get them. I'll drop him and email and ask. Edited by -Ec - 7 hours 59 minutes ago at 11:01am

	HI. I've got them in s/s cap screws from 4-20mm long (courtesy of AE). I'm in Stratford and shoot air rifles at the Eltham Small Bore Club range on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. If you have anyone coming this way I can put them in a small packet for collection from there, a local dairy, servo or my home. Just PM me to arrange.

	Pull the screw and go to a local engineering shop, engineering supply shop etc. They aren't a specialized screw, or thread. Ive did just that to extend mine. If you have the screw with you you can hold the two together so the threads sits in the grooves of each others. If they sit with no gaps, they are the same pitch of thread. You may have to cut it down.

	kruza, did you do this to your Gamo? If so, did it make much of a difference? Do you remember where you got the screw from? I've got to go to either Hastings or Palmy some time early next week which would be a good chance to try my luck I did get a response from Ron- he does not have have anything for this - as he is a official Gamo service agent, he is not allowed to fit non-gamo parts to gamo guns.

	Theres an engineering supply shop in hastings off omahu rd. Fast trade. Wilson st i think. Take the screw. If they don't have it they will tell you where to get it. Yes it does. You can over lighten it very easy. Smoothing and polishing the sears helps. If you pull it apart to do sears, theres a little plastic roller that is part of what the cocking arm moves over. It will most likely fall out unnoticed so make sure you have a cloth under it to catch it. Check a diagram on line to see. I may have one in my bits and pieces but im night shift and wont get back to farm till tomorrow. It may be for something different ill have a look.
