Trigger mechanism loose screws

Post by buttnbuck »

So here we go again ladies and gents. So after coming to the conclusion that i was having scope issues with my M330, a fella by the name of "strum" here on the forum suggested that i should check "all" fasteners and screws particularly the ones that hold the trigger mechanism in. Well, before i took the stock off, i grabbed a hold of the scope and to my surprise i could move it slightly up and down :shock: . So i removed the stock and there's 2 screws that hold the trigger mechanism in place(which i'm sure most of you already know), one screw i got 3 full turns on and the front one was to the point of falling out. Just a heads up........thanks again strum. :)

Not sure about the Matrix series bows but the older Excals had lock washers on those two bolts.. Glad you found your problem. Have fun shooting those bulls eyes.

Well, after reading this I just had to check the screws on my trigger unit, all is well. They are nice and tight. I was kind of hesitant after reading the treads of guys stripping out the front hole on the rail after putting the stock back on but all is good. A little preventive maintenance will save a lot of frustration later on down the road.
