: : can a bm2k's trigger be adjusted to just as light as angel???

: :: Since both the Angel and the Bushy use an electric switches (that require virtually no force to actuate) behind their triggers, you can make the pull about as light as you want. In their stock form either 'gun gives a very good trigger pull for potential accuracy; it's usually the desire for a higher rate of fire that drives guys to a lighter trigger pull.

:
: There are a few characteristics of a trigger pull that affect performance. Lightness is just one of them. Some of the others are: length of pull, overtravel, front/back play (or"slop") and sideways play.

: The Angel's trigger has no slop, and can be adjusted to be very short and with nil overtravel (how far the trigger moves rearward after the 'gun has shot. It can also be adjusted for lightness.

: The Bushy's trigger is easily adjusted for length and overtravel by adjusting the two set screws in the trigger. The sideways slop in the stock trigger can be lessened by installing a wider aftermarket trigger (I tried one but went back to the narrow stock trigger; I like being able to tap the trigger at a 45 degree angle to shoot the 'gun).

: You can also lighten the Bushy's trigger pull by replacing the spring that sits above the trigger with a lighter spring. To do this you need to remove the pins that hold the trigger in place. I think the instructions can be found at www.obdo.net (bushy/defiant owner's site).

: HOWEVER, it probably won't increase your rate of fire. The Bushy's stock trigger is as light as or lighter than the Angel's. The Angel shoots quickly because it can be set very short; its slightly heavier spring actually returns the trigger to the forward position a little faster than if it were lighter. Some guys actually set up their Bushies with a short pull, nil overtravel and a slightly heavier spring. Mine is set up short, with no overtravel and the stock spring. I can shoot it as quickly as I can a well set-up Angel.

: Hope this helped.
