I know there are several people here who have replaced the trigger on the CX4 Storm, so I was hoping you could chime in. I am planning to do this today.

 

I am following the instructions here: Storm Disassembly

 

I assume this is the best set of instructions out there?

 

Now for a couple of questions regarding the steps shown in the linked pages:

 

1) I am assuming that removing the magazine catch assembly on the first page is required in order to remove the trigger assembly?

 

2) At the bottom of the third page you remove the trigger assembly and the trigger is still cocked, then they show it uncocked (and mention to be careful when uncocking so it doesn't slam)-- do you just put one hand over the hammer and pull the trigger to uncock? Or, can you just start the entire storm disassembly with the trigger uncocked in the first place or does that prevent accomplishing earlier steps?

 

3) On page 4, at the very end, they show steps to remove a ball bearing-- doesn't appear to me that this is necessary for anything since the trigger assembly is already out. Is there any need to do that?

 

Thanks in advance.

edit: I do remember the ball bearing.. but do not recall if I touched it..

 

mag catch does have to be removed. yes..

 

decocking the gun can be accomplished in the manor you described.. just let it fall against your finger.. I prefer to put my finger ON the hammer before releasing it so I am not surprised by the snap of it.. and I can slowly let it down..

 

while this may look confusing and complicated.. it is pretty easy once you get rolling.. adjusting the trigger is far more time consuming than actually installing it..

These are the BEST directions out there on the net that I know of.

I did not do anything with the ball bearing. I saw no reason to remove it. You could always call the guys at Sierra Papa and ask them though.

The only real pain-in-the-a** in the whole re-assembly procedure was getting the leg of the trigger spring into the notch in the bolt stop (see page two, second pic down on right). A dental pick or tiny tweezers will be of great assistance when trying to set that.

 

As usual, Vlad has beaten me to the punch.
