Is the trigger included with the 2300S worth saving with polishing, etc., or is it best to just bite the pellet and install the 1701 unit?
Thanks - Dave B
1701
I have the original trigger
I put the super sear in and it performed very nice but
The safety didn't work
I took out the super sear and the safety works properly
I just plink with the 2300 so the original trigger is fine for me.
Thanks. I have a roller trigger I bought some time ago and I welcome the info on the supersear as that might have been my next option. Perhaps just best to get out the 600 grit and polish things up, then call it finished. Thanks for the input. I hope to be up and running for the 5m target summer event. If not with the 2300, I'll use another pistol in my collection.

You be welcome Dave.

I have the that very combo: Super Sear and stainless Son Cothran Roller Trigger.
It's a very light single-stage with no grit and slack.
The Super Sear is fine.
But, as I said it eliminates the safety.
At my age, the pistol may soon go to someone else who might expect the safety to work.
The original sear is fine too and the pistol shoots as well as my IZZY and 6M..

My build with the Super Sear and DC Roller Trigger.
Well, almost all of the parts are DC:

Nice pistol cross liner! Where did you get the grips? Dave B
From Vernon Austin.
I have a couple of his, and they are works of art.
He makes the best-fitting grips, and I do own some from the other popular maker in Texas (?).
No comparison, really.
Very nice.
I gave away 2 pairs of Corcoran grips to 2 individuals.
They're nice but far from equal to VA grips.
There was even an AGN guy who said that his VA grips are comparable/better to/than his ultra expensive German Rink/Formgriffe grips.
Big fan of Don Cothran triggers:

I personally don't care one iota what others think.

If this statement was directed to me, then you might want to try VA grips for comparison.
I find Corcoran grips just OK in fit and finish--nothing special.
In fact, I still have a pair in my parts box.
Yep.
Directed at you and everyone else who thinks their opinion counts.
I do not read reviews on products I order and I don't care what or who someone thinks is the best at something.
WOW Frank.... a little harsh perhaps ? ???

It's nothing ;D
I think mine is the best, and he thinks his is, so no problem :-*
No.
I do not think mine is the best.
I have no opinion on any of them.
I don't compare and I don't reccommend.
IDNGAS!

I put super sear in several. I did polish the surfaces on the sear that contact the hammer and trigger, and on a couple used the roller trigger, I also installed metal safety pins, and all work fine. The safety is actually a trigger block, I cannot understand why it is not working for you.
I took out the super sear and the safety works properly
I also installed the 1701p trigger in a few and it is nice because of the adjustments but you can "adjust" it to the point where it does not work. You also have to use a non fluted hammer or fill the flute on your 22XX type with something like jb weld.
As you just said, "I took out the super sear and the safety works fine."
That is what I said.
But I want a working safety for when the pistol goes to others when I am gone.
My wife will probably just toss it in the trash, anyway.
Hey retatdude - put a note in the case to send the guns to rezarf when you expire. I'll pay postage and handling! :D

I went much finer than 600 grit on my supersears. I used a hard Arkansas stone, and since the surfaces/engagements are much more crude than a good trigger in a fine firearm, I hit them with some green polishing compound on a hard felt polishing wheel on a bench grinder, Polished them to a mirror finish and they are smooth. I would think a roller trigger on even a standard Crosman sear would be an improvement. I did also polish the hammer with the polishing wheel paying attention to the area where it is held by the sear.
Dang Rick, I go away for a couple months and all hell breaks loose!
I like my Crosman ;D
A roller trigger is sweet, but a lot can be done to the original cheap with a little "slickening".

Thanks, Hoosier Daddy! Nice reference - good to try before you invest some of the aftermarket products. :)
