Hi guys!

WDP did a great job with the new vernier adjustment for the trigger. Now everybody can set their trigger as short as they want it (they say something about a human hair in the manual ;)) without taking the angel apart.

Personally, I dont like an ultra short trigger pull, as it gives me a hard time when "walking" the trigger.

What I would really like to have is less trigger resistance, but I see no way to adjust it.

The resistance is given by the spring type metal piece on the board.

Anyone got an idea?

Bend the leaf spring. Bad idea; it voids warranties and at least one person has had to get a new board because of damage they caused by bending the spring.
Adjust to a different point. Move the front positioning vernier wheel to different spots and set up from there; different compressions of the leaf spring will have different return strengths, and other than the return, you're unlikely to notice the difference, trigger-wise, between a "tick 1/tick3" setup and a "tick 4/tick 6" setup, or vice versa.
Talk to Russ at ASC. He does mag mods, and it's my impression that some of the "higher level" ones have adjustable return strength.
