PSA: Adler RF-224 trigger job

[u/NeruLight]

I read someone’s post that they modded their RF-224 trigger. So I tried it too. I bought an MCARBO sear spring kit. The sear spring did work but the trigger return spring is shorter than the one used by RF-224 and did not function.

I can’t tell the difference on trigger pull. It’s not like swapping in a target hammer where you can immediately feel the difference. In retrospect I should not have bothered with this mod. It was good to disassemble and clean my filthy trigger at least. I also put in a tandemkross magazine release spring which is very strong and nice.

For my bolt I had previously also tried an aftermarket firing pin but it was darn tight so I skipped that. The extractor I could replace but the spring and plunger looked different enough that I kept the Adler ones.

If only Adler had made things more compliant to Ruger factory parts 😭
