Help required SDB Artemis trigger not going in

[dalvipravin]

Hey all ,

I had striped down my Artemis and fixed some issues .

Am trying to asemble it but the trigger is not going in .
Missing something , it doesn't have enough spce as the spring stop and end of the block distance is too small .

If I just put like that the sear where the piston lokcs remains outside some stupid mistake am doing but not able to figure out

Am doing some mistake of some part to be added ?

Cheers

First compress the spring with the endcap(in this case the cylindrical section that holds the trigger in place) using spring compressor and lock it in place using one of the dowel pins.Then you can proceed to secure the sear and trigger assembly in place with another dowel pin.

Hi Bishop ,

Thays the normal process ivgues .. I followed the same
I fixed the second dowel at the end .. then when I try to insert the trigger in to the slot there is not much space to insert the trigger block between the spring stop inside the end block and the dead end ..

I'll reach to that point and send you the photos

This is what happens when too many things in mind

I willl asemble and share pics

Ok things I did on my Artemis

1) smoothened the cocking shoe which was too sharp at edges and was rubbing on spring as I lock up the barrel
2) polished piston lightly
3) filed the pivot arms of the cylinder for smooth and equal surface contact with breech block . I fount the starting edges at top were stiff and rest of the area was not touching . This will gve me to tight the pivot bolt nicely and give some resistance to barrel as we lock up .
4) I made a piston sleev using Xray film which will act as barrier between spring and piston walls.Hope to see smooth coking and less jerk , hoe it will hold up as I don't have PTFE sheets handy which are ideal .
5) I made the scope stop pins holes rounded and flat , earlier they were conical and my scope slipped and was holded by the end cap

I will assemble her tomorrow and update on results .

Hey all ,

Ok I assembled the rifle and fired 10 shots ,
1) cocking has become smoother
2) barrel lock up feels solid and not clumsy as before due to pivot bolt tighten up
3) Shoots with a straight bang no other noise , due to piston sleev

Happy so far , will add scope and see if it creeps ...overall she's a tuned beast now with full power even more than HW95 for sure !! And yes shooting experience has improved vastly .

Sorry for foresight ..it's there but got behind the wordrobe door for support ..actually I like that look , will look like .22 rim fire when scoped

Cheers ,
