Trigger Job for Spyders

I am not responsible if you screw up your gun!!!  If you are an idiot do not do these modifications on your gun!  Nearly all of these trigger jobs can be done very easily if you are somewhat smart!!!

The things below I have performed on my gun and they make my gun work a lot better for having done so

    What is a trigger job?  A trigger job is what you do to you to the trigger on your gun to make the pull shorter and lighter.  You can do several different trigger jobs.  Some will forever alter your gun and others won't.  If you do all the steps I give to you your trigger pull will be 3/16 inches and be about a pound of pressure.

Pre-trigger job work:  Remove the handle from the gun and get these tools, a small nail set or finishing nail and a hammer.

!!!!!Very important, look at the pin holding the trigger in place, one side should have grooves and the other shouldn't.  Knock the pin out on the non-grooved side so you push out the grooved side first!!!!!

Trigger Job 1.  No permanent gun modifications.  This trigger job takes your trigger pull from about 5 pounds to 2 pounds by modifying the trigger spring. Take the handle and knock out the pin that holds the trigger in place.    Take out the trigger just enough to get out the spring under the top of the trigger.  If you are cheap cut of 1 or maybe 2 whole circles on your old spring.  If you want to spend a dollar at most go to the paintball store and get a new spring out of a madman kit.  Or go to the hardware store and pick up a new spring the same diameter of the old spring but has a lighter compression on it and it doesn't matter what length the spring is.  If the new spring is longer than the old one trim the new spring so it is as long as the old one.  Take the new or modified spring and place it back in the place where you took the previous one out from.  Replace the pin through the trigger by putting the non-grooved side in first through the hole in the trigger.

Trigger Job 2.   No permanent gun modifications.  This trigger job takes out the play in the trigger after you pull the trigger back and the gun fires.  Take out the pin that holds the trigger in place.  Take out the trigger.  Now you need something to fit inside the trigger spring like a small dowel rod.  Cut a piece about 4 or 5/16 inches long out of the material you used.  Now take the piece after it has been cut and place inside the trigger spring.  Replace the trigger, and put the handle back on your gun.  Now cock your gun and see if you can pull the trigger and the gun will shoot.  If the gun does shoot see if the trigger stops right after the gun shoots if not than cut a longer trigger stop and start over.  If your gun doesn't shoot then you can take a dremel tool or some tool to take of about 1/8 inches and put the trigger stop back in put in the trigger, put your handle back on your gun and cock your gun if it shoots and the trigger stops right after the gun shoots you did a good job if not see the part where I explain what to do if you have play after you shoot.

Trigger Job 3.  No permanent gun modifications.  This trigger job shortens you trigger pull up to 3/16 inches.  Take out the pin holding the sear in place and the sear stop pin.  Take out the sear and sear spring.  Take a piece of rubber tubing or macroline (something that fits around the sear stop pin and makes the pin bigger in diameter, you can always try around with different pieces) and cut it about 3/8 inches long.  I used a piece of rubber tubing that is used to pump air into a fish tank first, then I use a piece of macroline hose which worked a lot better!  Take the piece of material and hold it inside the the trigger frame where the sear stopping pin is and push the sear stopping pin through the inside of the tube so the tube goes around the sear stop pin.  Put the sear and sear spring back in your gun and then reattach the handle to your gun cock your gun and see if the gun fires if the gun doesn't fire then use a smaller diameter tube.  If you gun fires good, you can also use different thickness tubes and see if your gun still fires with a shorter pull.

Trigger Job 4.  Permanent gun modifications.  This trigger job is to remove the play when you pull your trigger and there is a spot where your trigger does nothing before it shoots.  Take your trigger out and put a drop or two of epoxy on the top of your trigger that goes over the trigger spring.  Let the epoxy dry.  Then put your trigger in your handle and put the pin back in. Put the handle on your gun and cock the gun if your trigger can be pulled back and the gun shoots you did a good job.  If your gun doesn't cock and shoot then you will have to sand or file off a little epoxy at a time and putting your trigger back in your handle and trying to see if your gun cocks and the trigger makes the gun shoot.

Trigger Job 5.  Minor Permanent gun modifications.  This trigger job makes your trigger pull a lot smoother!  What you need to do is to pull out the sear and sear pin and  trigger and trigger pin.  Now you need to sand the sides of the sear and trigger like you do when you polish your gun!  Then you need to sand and polish the pins for your trigger and gun!  Then oil the insides of the sear and trigger, and put them in your gun and hammer the pins through!  Click here to find out how to polish your gun!
