Alien Independence - Setting Trigger Pull

Setting the trigger pull: The Independence features a Critical Paintball
designed trigger. Adjusting the setscrews breaks the Locktite seal and the
setscrews have to be loctited again.
There are four adjustments. Two are adjusted on the front
of the trigger. The trigger contact point is the top set
screw. Turning the screw clockwise makes the contact
point sooner, counterclockwise to make the contact later.
The bottom screw limits the
trigger’s travel backward,
clockwise for less travel,
counter-clockwise for more
travel.
The setscrew to adjust the
trigger return travel can be adjusted by fitting an Allen
wrench through a hole in the trigger lever on the under side of the trigger guard.
Clockwise increases travel – counterclockwise limits travel.
The setscrew that
adjusts the trigger
spring’s tension is
visible when you
remove the bolt,
remove the Ram Cap, and slide the hammer back.
Turning the setscrew clockwise increases tension.
Counter-clockwise lessens the tension. If the tension is
not getting lighter do not continue to turn or you will
screw the setscrew out of the holder. Repeat! If the trigger isn’t getting lighter –
STOP! It is best to start by increasing the tension to get the feel for the spring
and then raise the setscrew until it is at your preference, or it is at the minimum
pressure.
To remove the trigger, loosen the setscrew holding the
trigger pin with an Allen wrench. This must be done with the
body off he trigger frame. Removal of the trigger may cause
the trigger spring to drop out and become lost. It is best to
remove the gun body and ram body completely from the
trigger grip frame. Then remove the trigger spring holder and
the spring before removing the trigger pin.
