For your dining pleasure: 2-stage mod for the Gamo/B18/Theoben
trigger!

I think I've got a (relatively)
simple, drop-in mod' that converts our favorite trigger into a legit adjustable
two-stage. The mod' replaces the sear engagement screw of the stock
trigger "pseudo-2-stage" adjustment, (in fact you yank that ridiculous
thing clean out and throw it as far away as its ballistic coefficient will
carr it) with a true 2-stage adjustment carried inside the trigger
blade.
The result is a trigger
weight that's much lighter AND has an honest-to-God 2nd stage that you
can adjust to the razor's edge WITHOUT making the trigger unsafe (in fact,
the trigger ends up with more sear overlap than the stock geometry).
It's not a Rekord (heaven knows), but with a little refinement, it may
well be close to a B20.
The design requires exactly one custom machined piece. You don't even have to remove the trigger group from the action to install it. In the sketch below, the stock trigger is on the right, the custom piece right of center, modified blade left of center and complete modified trigger assembly on the left.
Any questions?

...may be interested to know that "Charlie_da_Tuna" Bob is currently tooling up to offer the modification for sale.

Bob is still climbing the non-trivial development curve that stands between one-off prototype and efficiently reproducible product (it already differs in appearance from the early proto pictured above, although identical in function), so those interested in the details of price and availability will need to contact him.
But he already says that a B18 trigger with the mod installed and properly adjusted handily beats out a tuned B20 "Chinese Rekord" - which is about all I was shooting for.
