Well I was fooling around with the screw between the double trigger and now I cannot get the rear trigger to set, all i can use isd the front trigger now no matter where the screw sits. Question is how do I adjust the screw so I can use both triggers again? Is there also a diagram fiche for the triggers anywhere?

Thanks for the help !

Cheers

I suggest you take the triggers out and then you can fairly easily tell how they operate and interact with the sear bar.

The screw between the triggers that you screwed in, back the screw out half way and then try your set trigger! When you have the set trigger set and you screw that front screw in at some point it will trip the front trigger. Also back out the rear screw.

Ya, take it out and look at it. There is a big spring in back too that you can adjust.
If the little screw is in too far it won't let the rear engage with the front.
Take it out, clean it, oil it, play with it. Nothing will go "SPROING!" when you pull it, it's just a few screws.

Good, it'll be OK. Take the trigger gaurd off, then it's just one screw in back,UNLESS it's a 1999 or newer, that year and after they ran the Tang screw all the way through the stock and into the front of the trigger, that's the big screw just behind where the barrel hooks in. You'll know cause if it's a through stock bolt it'll be a long bolt, if it's the old model the tang is held in with just a wood screw.

Again, it's really just a few screws, there are no springs or parts under pressure that will fly across the room.(till ya take the lock apart, but we'll do that another day)

While yer at it, lift the barrel and take the lock out too,,there's some parts in there that like a little oil from time ta time too.

Took the lock off today and its the newer lock. "long bolt through to lock" smeared some oil on the lock and looks to be in good shape. I fiddled with the screw to set the double trigger but could not get it to set the rear trigger? I know it works becasue I used the rear trigger before but I mess around with the screw and could not get it to set the rear trigger again. Does the gun have to be cocked to set ?
Also, where would I be able to buy a replacemnet lock for the TC hawkin ? Any good deals out there ?

Thanks again

Take the "Trigger" out.
Remove the Trigger Guard,,and,,
Take the "Trigger" out.

There is a flat spring that makes the rear trigger work, could be the screw for that is too loose or, and rarely, it could be broke.

Take the "Trigger" out, and you'll see how it works.
